Washington, June 2.?The second an
of the big preparedness measures, a a
naval appropriation bill larger by wi
many millions than any ever before tic
considered in congress, passed the la:
house late today almost unanimous- ar
ly. It carries, a building programme ni<
for next year of five battle cruisers, ac
four scout cruisers, ten destroyers, us
fifty submarines and 130 aeroplanes, fe'
! provides for a government armor wl
plate plant, authorizes an increase of fe
nearly 17*000 enlisted men and ap- fi?
propriates a total of $269,900,000. th
As passed the bill is in substantial- a
ly the same form as framed by the kr
naval committee. Only a few amend- te]
ments wer adopted during a week of
ments were adopted during a week of
lican leaders to have the measure recommitted
with instructions to add j
two battleships, two coast cruisers ^
and ten destroyers was beaten, 189
to 183. The fight for an increase in
the building programme, at least by
the addition of two battleships, will
be renewed in the senate when the
measure is taken up there late this
month, and administration leaders
believe it will be successful.
Only Pour Opposed.
4 Only four representatives voted
against passage of the bill, to 358 fa.voring
jt, and as the roll call progressed
the overwhelming majority of
* "ayes" stirred the Democrats to rev
peated cheering. The four negatives
|P;V, - were cast by Representatives Brownie
r, ing, New Jersey, and Graham, Pennaylvania,
Republicans; Randall, Calip
fornia, Prohibitionist, and London,
h New York, Socialist.
With passage of the bill the house
!"> completed the major portion of its
i share in the preparedness programme?the
army, naval and fortification
measure?only the last named
remains to be considered. It probably
will be taken up in the house
^y- after the national conventions, while
i j\ v,, tk? senate is debating the naval bill.
Twenty-five Democrats voted with
i|^: the Republicans today for the motlon
to recommit and increase the
DUlICLing programme auu mcic was
Bp*';.-. Indications tonight that the proposal
!$ ^ to provide for at least two battleships
would find strong support
|?,J~ among Democrats in the senate. The
two dreadnaughts recommended by
- Secretary Daniels were striken out
of the bill by the house committee
and an additional battle cruiser sub
stituted as a compromise to meet the
demands of the so-called little navy

* Although the house voted down
f most of the recommendations of a
i.|. minority report submitted by Repub^

creases totalling more than $40,000,?fffe
000 were added to the committee
measure. Of this $22,000,000 covers
an amendment adopted increasing
py * the number of submarines authorized
to fifty. The committee had recommended
only twenty. Other provisW0.
ions added during debate carry $11,|r>?
000,000 for a government armor '

of the navy yards at Charleston,
S. C., Norfolk, Va., New Orleans,
La., Philadelphia, Pa., Boston, Mass.,
? ~ HAA AAA
and Puget souna; $z,<vu,uw iui increasing
the navy personnel, and $1,500,000
for aeroplanes. The yards
at Norfolk, Boston, Philadelphia and
Puget Sound will be equipped to
IE..V. build capital warships. The armor
h. provision already has passed the senior;;
ate as a separate bill.
Reorganization plans recommend^
- ed by Secretary Daniels, including
increasing the duties and authority
of the chief of operations, are authorized
in the measure and provision is
made for building up a strong reserve
for the enlisted personnel.
- A Lafayette Story.
I well remember, when a little boy,
. V bearing
my father tell a story that
his father told him ahout the great
Lafayette, who was such a warm
friend of the United States, then in
the making, when Lafayette came
back to this country on a visit. My
grandfather met him at a reception,
and as an evidence of his tact and
humor, to one man to whom he was
^Vv-V.V
introduced Lafayette said:
"How do you do? Are you a married
man?" The man replied, "Yes,
I . sir"
And Lafayette said, "Happy man!
TJ?r>nw -rr\ on ! "
??a?/}jj iuau.
The next man to whom Lafayette
was introduced was asked, "Are you
a married man?" and replied, "No,
sir."
Whereupon Lafayette said, "Lucky
dog! Lucky dog!"?From a speech
at New Bedford by President Elliott,
of the New Haven.
The defective citizen of today is
ofttimes the unhealthy child of yesterday.
LAST ONE ALIVE WINS. J
)\v Soldiers in the Trenches Pool
Their Money.
William J. Robinson, who spent a
ar in the British trenches in
ance, tells the following about the
e of the British "Tommy" in the
ne World's Work:
"When the regiment goes into ac>n
a crowd of fellows get together
d put all the money they have in
pool. They give it to some one
10 stays behind, and he has instructs
to hand all the money to the
st one left alive. Sometimes they
range it so that they draw the
9ney every time they come out of ?
tion, and in this way they get the
e of it from time to time. If ten f
Hows put in ten francs each, and 4
ien they come out five of the ten
Hows left, each of the remaining
e has doubled his money. It is *
e only gamble I ever saw in which
fellow cannot lose, for if he is f
locked over he certainly has no in- j
rest in money matters." m
A man in Joliet, 111., says he never .d
a harsh word from his wife. I
