TEN DREADNAUGHTS PLANNED WASHINGTON, Oct, 19.—Officlal | estimates of the navy's part in the administration’s billion - dollar na- tional defense program were made public tonight by Becretary Dan'els. They show that within five years it is proposed to spend $502,482,214 on construction of new ships, devel- opment of air craft and creation of | a huge reserve of ammunition and | guns for the navy.% The five-year bduilding program contemplates construction of ten dreadnaughts, six battle cruisers, ten scout cruisers, fifty destroyers, fif- teen seagoing submarines, eighty- five coast defense submarines, four gunboats, one hospital ship, two am- maunition ships, two fuel oil ships and one repalr ship. The last of these | vessels will be buflt and in commis- sion late in 1924, Meney for Aviation. On saval aviation it is proposed to ex- pend $5,000,000 during the five years, and on reserve munitions $26,000,000, These figures, with the addition of $48,515,127 for compietion of ships already authors OMAHA'S per cent of the department 182 $100,000,000 & year.

Suspects Arrested. (@race Slater, ed by ‘her thother, was called to police headquarters , where seventeen suspects arrested within the last few days were lined up against the wall for her inspec- tion, in the hope that she might identify the man that murdered W. H. Smith when he was escorting her home Satur- day night at Thirtleth and Dodge streets. Misg. Slater apent many minutes scru- tnising each man in turn. Edward J. Malone was also called to the station to look over the suspects, with a view to his being able to iden- tity one as the bandit that held up the card party at the home of Willlam T. Hause, 332 Pine street, a week ago when Malone was among those at the party held up. Following Malone, Willlam T. Hause, €. B. Whitney, Douglas Bowle and C, E. Burns, the men who were robbed in the Hause residence, viewed the suspects. Mrs. Hause may be called on today or tomorrow, as it was she who was sub- Jected to an Insulting asearch by the bandit. Two Are Held, Among the men held iInterest centers in; two, one of whom Miss Grace Slater says looks something like the murderer, and the other Malone asserts resembles the Hause robber, The two suspects look somewhat alike, apd the voice of the one whom Miss Siater picked was sald by her to be similar to that of the man who killed Smith. Thia fellow seemed unable to answer Questions offhand, put to him by detec- tives, and during the whole time Malone and Miss Slater stood bel his eyes never met theirs once. he came here several weeks Call- fornia, and has not been ‘When the question was put him where he came from he hesitated for several minutes and then sald “California.” He will be forced to give a strict account of his recent whereabouts and actions, and his state- ments will be thoroughly investigated. Miss Slater sald that it would be hard for her to positively identify the man, and this seems to be the case with the mwa- jority of the other victims. Tuesday morning & hurry call was made by detec- tives to & spot where it was believed the man had been located. But the fellow had gone. Sovereign Commander W, A.

There have been no changes of great im- portance since the letter, was written. \ CONSTANTINOPLE Sept. 1.—The position of the allied troops on the Anafarta-Ari-Burnu front of the Gallipoll peninsula can hardly .be described as a promising one. Such at least was the impression gained by The Associated Press correspond- ent during an eight days’ stay in the war arena in question, The factors upon which this conclusion | is based are a thorough inspection of | the Turkish and allled trenches and | artlllery positions and the statements of | Turkish officers and allied prisoners of war. Result of Four Actions. What is perhaps of more importance is the result of four major military actions which occurred while the correspondent was on this front. They consisted of an attack by the allies on a Turkish position north of Kodjatchemen Dagh on the afternoon of August 2, an assault on Turkish trenches in the same general logality on the same night and two ate tacks on Anafarta on August 26 and 2. In each instance the allles were driven back with heavy losses. No permanent advantages were gained by them. The losses of the Turks were by o means light in any of these operations, but the allies, acting on the offensive suffered heavily. Their losses for the four actions are estimated at 11,000 to 13,000 dead and double that number of wounded. The ground held by the allles was that part of the coast region which could be commanded by their naval artillery. Thus far the allies have landed in the Anafarta region about 115,000 men, a large part of which force already has been used up. It is safe to say that they are to- day opposed by about 135,000 Turks who are actually entrenched, with about 80,000 in reserve. Advantages with Turks. Every advantage bf terrain is held by the Turks, whose trenches are located on higher ground than those of the allles. With important positions lost the allies | today hold themselves in the Anafarta region solely by virtue of an immense artillery fire superiority. Without the support of some forty line ships, crulsers and torpedo boats they would be thrown into the sea. ‘THere have been - thomenits, hoWever, when the' Turkis ‘troops in the Ana district have been hard pressed. ‘An at- tack made by the allles on August 2 and 27 in the direction of Kiretch Tepe ended in terrible slaughters of British troops, some 8,800 dead being counted on August 5. British prisoners assert that their posi- tion is a most trying one. Water is ex- tremely scarce in the Anafartas region, and it is said only one well is in the hands of the British. The result is that water must be brought from the island of Imbros and even from Saloniki. One half pint of water at noon is the only allow- ance of this necessity, prisoners state, that is given. What Soldier Eats. Up to & week ago the food of the Brit- ish soldier consisted of six army oiscuits, & preserved meat ration, some candy and Jam. Poor health is the:result of this diet. The correspondent talked to an Zn- gllah prisoner who, unable to obtain medi- cal assistance, had become so weak from dysentery that his comrades had to aban- don him when the Turks took the trench in which he was stationed It i3 sali there are many similar cases. ust be added the great present duat. It cannot be sald that the troops re- cently brought to the peninsula are first- class material. Many of the men are too young to endure the hardshive of wuch a climate. The correspondent witnessed the total annihflation of a British company which had penetrated a Turkish trench, but was destroyed because its flank was left un- covered. Whether this was due to the impulsiveness of the men or the negli- gence of others could not be learned | Inactive Three Weeks, When the Associatea Fress correspon- dent left the Gallipoll peninsula after an eight-day stay on the front, the allled troops at Seddul Bahr, on the tip of the peninsula, had been Inactive for more than three weeks. Their position was no more favorable than that of their com- rades in the Anafarta region. | Field Marshal Liman von Sanders, the | German officer in command of the Turk- ‘ ish forces, gave his idea of the general situation as follows: “I am too old to be an optimist, but I belleve—I am absolutely confident—that tnless something extraordinary occur ‘we ashall hold the allles where they are.” The fleld marshal is 65 years old. 8o far as concerns the ailled forces at Seddul Bahr, it apparently has been dem- onstrated that it Is next to Impoasible for them to advance, with operations conducted within the range of reasonable and permissible sacrifices of men. In other words, it is still possible to dis- lodge the Turks, but to do so would cause too great a loss to the allies. On that front, as at Anafarta, the Turks have used every means to better their positions. Though both fields of action are small, the Turks have dug hundreds of kilometers of fire line and communi- cating trenches. Turks Take No Chances. Bl Jid Tepe, in the Seddul Bahr region, has been the objective of the allles. heat ani ever Heavy guns rious question whether this theory is cor- rect.
