He wants her to pool her nav: strength in an international nav | He opposes any idea of an American- | British navy.

The American naval expansion threat is quite open and sincere, ac cording to this authority. There is still the threat of army man-power. The United States will develop its army strength high, if necessary, but the administration frankly hopes ships and armies all over the world will be reduced so as to help insure the future peace of the world. CHILE WANTS HER WARSHIPS SANTIAGO, Chile, Dec. 6.—The war ministry suggested today that the government ask Great Britain to return to Chile the two dread- noughts she requisitioned at the be ginning of the world war. The people here are preparing for @ great proColombian demonstra- tion. Chile had Almirante Cochrane and the Almi- rante La Torre, building in England | when the war broke out. They were requisitioned for the British navy, One was renamed the Canada. Both ships displace 28,000 tons, and have a designated speed of 23 knots, Their main battery consists of ten 14-inch guns, The second battery in- cludes 16 six-inch and four three-inch guns, The proColo:nbjan demonstration planned in Santiago apparently is in response to the pro-Chilean demon- stration in Bogota, in which 5,000 persons participated. It also was reported that 300 Co lombian army officers had offered their servicés to Chile in the event of war. PERU CABINET | HAS RESIGNED LIMA, Peru, Dee, 6.—The Peruvi+ an cabinet has resigned.
