FAMOUS SHIP TODAY PASSING VIRGINIA CAPES | Gen. Pershing to March Entire Dis- tance From Capitol to Arlington on Armistice Day. America’s unknown soldier, coming home to sleep with the heroes who rest in Arlington, was Dbeing borne through the Virginia capes on the cruiser Olympia today. Orders went out from the navy yard to the cruiser to dock at the navy yard here tomor- row afternoon at 4 o'clock. At that hour Washingtonians will line the ‘waterfront approaches and in silence usher in the nation’s special period of official mourning for her unknown dead. The District Commissioners, after their board session today, again ex- pressed the desire that citizens gen crally shall pay homage to the. pre- cious dead borne by the Ulympia as the warship moves slowly into port. It was decided to abandon the plan for an automobile procession around Potomac Park driveway on_ account of the difficulty that would be ig- volved in policing it. Thousands to Meet Ship. The Commissioners believe thai thousands of citizens wiil gather in the vicinity of the navy yard and that the silent tributc they will pay will be one of the most impressive fea- tures of the ceremonies to be held in honor of the unknown soldier typify- known gra % Anticipating a large sathering at the Apacostia bridge. near the navy yard.: the Washington Railway and Blectric Company today arranged to ‘operate a special service to the bridge tomorrow afternoon .

The other line will consist of so- cieties and organizations to whom permits have been issued to conduct brief services. The War Department has completed a time schedule for these ceremonies)which will take up the entire fourteen-hour period. Groups holding these permits will assemble in column of threes at the foot of the Senate steps on the east side of the guard of honor.

BATILECRUISERS A ARNS ISSU Relative Fighting Strength of Type of Vessels Being Debated. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Eaclk of the scencs, where the American naval program is being mapped out for presentation to the conference on limitation of arma- ment, there’s an interesting discus- N going on as to the value of battie cruisers. Can the United States afford to #et Japan excel in ! type of vessel, which ever since i the battle of Jutland has stirred up naval critics” There are two schools of thought—those who believe the battleship is the craft that mast eventually bear the brunt of a sea struggle and these who believe that without battie cruisers the United tates cannot hope to compete with apan_in the Pacific. U. S. Building Six Crulsers. The truth is the tates has ix Dbattle crulsers building and uld enter the coming conference with much more euse of mind if those vessels were already in com- ! | mission. " For many years the move- | ment for reduction of armament has | the leading maval | wish to place them- suffered because powers did not selves on an inferior basis. The pres- lent tendency of the powers is to pre- | {serve the ratio of strength that ex- | ists, but cut down the expense to | of useless ships—that is, ships which { would be useiess if everybody greed . now | to dispose of auxiliary crafi | out of date. 1s Japan stronger than the United States on (he sea? The actuzl sta- | tistics would seem to show the United | States as superior, but the naval ex- perts are skeptical. They say the! | battle of Jutland revolutionized every- | thing—that the battle cruiser is vital. And, of course, the United States is weak in that direction, though opin- ion may differ/as to whether the weakness could be overcome by the preponderance of battleships. Relative Strensth of Natfons. Anyway, it is essential in order to | know just what the naval experts are talking about, to study the official fig- ures giving the latest authentic in- fommation as to the strength of the five leading naval powers. Here they jare: Battieshi Virer Time buile.s | First line bldg. i Second Iine.. | Battle cruisers— First line built. First line bldg. Seccud line.. it crulsers— irst line.. Second line. By examining the foregoing table it will be seen that Japan has already in commission four cruisers, which while of the pre-Jutland type, are considered an invaluable asset in the | Pacific. The cruiser type of vessel,| being much faster than the battleship, can get information and draw out | enemy vessels and do a whole lot of | damage in a preliminary way. The Japanese battle cruisers which are | under construction are similar to the American types. Japan, however, is | building eight and the United States only six, so that Japan, with a total of twelve battle cruisers, would have virtually doublc the strength of the United States, assuming, of course, that the viewpoint of the experts | who place complete faith in the bat- | tle_cruiser is accepted. | _ Certainly there is uneasiness in of- | ficial circles about {t. Out of the six ibattle cruisers authorized, four are |well along. But the naval experts in- isist that any program of reduction ought not to interfere with the op- portunity of the United States to i-place herself at least on an equal footing with Japan in the matter of battle cruisers. With respect to de- stroyers and submarines, the United | States is far ahead of Japan, but the | differance in numbers means very. lit- {tle if the theoretical battle is fought |in far eastern waters, where Japan possesses so many naval bases. De- | stroyers and submarines 7,000 miles {from home are not as effective as those with a base 300 miles away. | Japan has come out with a flat statement that she wants her navy to be equal the size of any fleet now in the Pacific. On the surface that seems a radical statement, but she has practically reached ~American naval strength now om the battle crulger program. As for battleships, the United States has a total of twenty-seven as compared with Ja- pan’s thirteen, but the United States doesn’t kcep all its battleships in the ! Pacific. Also, the Japanese have bullt | | the Nagato, which is the largest and most powerful battleship afloat and more effective than anything the United States has completed. A sister ship, the Mutsu, is about to be launch- ed. Both vessels mount eighteen-inch guns. The United States has some under construction of a similar class. Where shall the race stop? Comparative Expenditures. The_officlal figures just available also show that out of a total na- tional expenditure Great Britain is spending 8% per cent on naval arma- ment, while the United States is spending 12 per cent; France, 3\per cent; Italy, 1% per cent, and Japan, 32 per cent. Limitation of expense is the objective. With these per cents staring them in the face, American naval experts know they must pre- sent a radical program to satisfy American opinion. They would like to do so and still keep the battle cruisers. So the answer to the prob- lem i8 not yet in sight. (Cepyright, 1921.) — ANTI-BEER BILL ON 18TH.

The American delegation to the armament conference was e~ quested in a resolution offered by Senafor Harrinon, demoerat, Mins- inn and adopted today by the Senate to use its influence for the making public of the record of confercace proceedings and for ad- mixsion of mewspaper men to all meetings of the full conferemce.

That function. it was said, would be left to the delegates themselves, with Mr. Harding advis- ing with them only when vital de- cisions are to be made. Advisers Meet Tomorrovw.

In fact, he said, nothing concerning the problems of the conference will come iy tomorrow, but that, following the greelings and formal orgaufestion, ad- Journment will be taken until a later day, to be et at the morning session. Mr. Hughes Away Taday. Due to Secretary Hughes' absence from the city in order to cast his ballot in the New York elections today, no meeting of the American delegation was held. The Secretary probably will re- turn late tonight or in thé morning, and, it is said, will be here in any event in sufficient time to meet with the ad- visory committee members. The busiest places in town are the embassies and legationns of the nations! to be represented in the conference, where daily and nightly meetings of | ambassadors and isters, with their staffs of technical ex perts and advisers, are held, discussin the broad questions of national policy to be adopted before the conference and preparing the great mass of data bear- ing upon the various subjects to come u v’l'he initial session of the conference next Saturday at 10:30 is expected to be devoted principally to the opening exercises and the address of President Harding. The Presifent is expected to outline only in the broadest way the aims and objects of the conference, deal- ing with its great humanitarian pur- pose and byeathing the spirit of amity and good will among the nations which I animates the United States in taking the lead in the great movement for world peace under way. Real Work Begins Monday. On the following Monday, to which adjournment will be taken, it is thought, the conference will begin the work of organization. It is pointed out that once under way the confer- ence, through the action of its dele- gates, will be the arbiter of its own procedure .and will determine such questions as the publicity of proceed- ings and the waysand means of facili- tating contact between the public at large and the conference. It is assumed that the highest ad- ministrative official of the country that is host to the conference—in this case Secretary Huges—will be chosen to preside. A secretary general and other officers will be chosen, and dur- ing. the ' week, or possibly in the fol lowing week, committees- will be ap pointed and distribution of the work undertaken. In the main, it is belleved, determi- nation of vital questions of policy will finally settle down to the pre- miers or heads of delegations of the nine nations represented, who will confer “out of court” bringing the decisions previously reached by their respective delegations. It is held that only by the concentration of effort among a limited number can progress be made. Five Likely to Take Lead. Carrylng this suggestion to its last analysis would imply the probabllity that the heads of the five former as- sociated and allied powers, the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan, would soon take the lead in shaping policies. This is expected to be undoubtedly true as to the agenda relating to the limitation of armament, and in preponderating measure at least to the determination of Pacific and far eastern questions. All the time, however, it is said in official circles, it must be borne in (Continued on Page 2, Column §.)
