TO HAVE 1,291 SHIPS.
Statement Prepared by Hear Admiral
Griffin.?10 Battleships.
Washington, Dec. 7.?The American
navy will number a total of 1,291
vessels, including forty battleships
and 329 destroyers on July 1,
1920, according to a statement prepared
by Rear Admiral Griffin, chief
of the bureau of steam engineering,
for the House naval committee.
The statement shows that when
"war was declared there were 364
ships in the navy, while on November
, 1, ten days before hostilities ceased,
there were 777, exclusive of private
- * _ - i _
ly owned yacnts ana otner vessels
taken over for patrol service. The
greatest increase was 300 in sub*
marine chasers. The increase in destroyers
was forty-one to a total of
ninety-two, and that of submarines
from forty-four to seventy-nine.
Only two eagle boats had been
completed on November 1. Ninetyeight
others were contracted for, but
Rear Admiral Taylor, chief of the
bureau of construction and repair,
has informed th? committee, it became
known, that the Navy Department
has given orders that only
sixtv of the vessels be completed.
Keels for eighty of the eagles have
. , not been laid, but material for most
of them has been fabricated.
Only two battleships were added
to the fleet during the war, and only
one will be added between this time
and July 1, 1920, Admiral Griffin
- said. Six others, however, actually
are under construction, and two, the
. Tennessee and California, 'are apjfr
proximately now completed. Work
on three others is yet to be started.Admiral
Taylor informed the committee
that contracts are yet to be
placed for twenty-nine ships whifch
have been authorized. They include
two battleships, twelve destroyers,
ten submarines, two destroyer tenders,
a repair ship, a transport and a
submarine, tender.
Work has not yet started on any
|/ t of the five battle cruisers, authorized
*?{ <'; in 1916, the laying down of these
vessels and other-major craft having
been deferred . because of the dej*
*. mands for destroyers during tbe
war. ^Ninety-five destroyers authorA

DUTCH WILL HELD.
But Holland Prefers to Intern ExKaiser
for Life, .
" ' !
v London. Dec. 7.^-If the Allies inv.
slst upon the delivery of the former
German Emperor and Crown Prince
te an international court of justice
Holland will yield, but will first urge
that the Allies content themselves
with an undertaking by Holland to
intern them for life in one of the
Dutch colonies, according to an Amsterdam
dispatch to The Express.
Holland, it is understood, will
suggest that Herr Hohenzollern and
his son be placed on an island in
either the East or Dutch West Indies,
where he will be guarded by a
T Dutch fleet.
\ ' < It is also anticipated that Holland
will be asked for compensation for
permitting a violation of her neutrality
by allowing German troops
to pass through the province of
Limburg on their retreat from Belgium
and receiving German ships
from Antwerp. This compensation
- may possibly be the cession of cer-tain
territory along the Belgian frontier
owned by Holland since 1839.
Perhaps the southern part of Dutch
V Limburg will be demanded. The
population of this region Ms principally
Belgian.

Tax Commissioner Killed.
gwy ^
Atlanta, Dec. 7.?Judge John C.
Hart, State tax commissioner and
for a number of ye^rs attorney general
-of Georgia, accidentally shot
9
and killed himself this afternoon
while hunting near Greensboro. He*
was crossing a stream with a shotgun
on his arm when in some way
lie slipped and fell. The gun was
discharged and the load of shot entered
the judge's neck, severing the
jugular vein. Death was almost instantaneous.
* Judge Hart, who was about 70
years old, is survived by his wife
and two daughters and three sons.
Two of his sons are with the American
forces in France.
McAdoo Loses Money.
Washington, Dec. 7.?Secretary
McAdoo, who quit the cabinet because
his salary was insufficient, now
faces the predicament of worming
two weeks for the government for
nothing. He will retire as secretary
of the treasury, December 16, and
his pay at the rate of $12,000 a
year will stop. Until January 1,
however, he will continue as director
general of railroads, and for this job
he receives not a cent, although his
regional directors receive $40,000 a
year. Consequently, from December
16 to January 1, he will be off the
pay rolls.

Such a thing as not "having a chance" is all BOSH. Every
man has a chance if he will only TAKE the chance.
Older men with lots of MONEY are looking for younger men
with a little money whom they would like to take into PARTNERSHIP.
Nothing can hold down a man with CHARACTER and money.
BANKING your money will build your character. Do it and
have BOTH.
