Under the naval limitation treaty.1 flie maximum ize of Runs on exist ing or tuture capital thip m to be limited to lb-inch weaxns. It h to bj expected, many officials ay. that a replacement proceeds on the treaty schedule all capital ship will come to be equipped with gun with ap proximately that size and power. The canal fortifications were plan tied and well advanced in construc tion when the British 15-inch naval rifle wa in an experimental stage and when the American naval big (tun. just being talked about, was the 14-inch. Since then both American and Japanese navies have gone to the 16-inch and ships armed with the 12 inch that was most generally in use v-hen the canrl defenses were plan ned, arc rated totlav as "nreiutland" and obsolete, not powerful enough to lie in the line of battle. Given Increased Range. The Jutland lessons of the great war, however, have-, still another bearing on the canal defense prob lem. Warships designed since that tight have been given greatly in creased gun elevations and con sequently greater range. They de liver what is, in a restricted sense, high angle fire that always has been peculiarly effective against fixed for tifications. Army experts have taken this into account in the planning modernization of the canal forts. Their answer is to equip the forts with batteries equal in power and range to the largest gun that under the treaty, can be mounted afloat. With the stationary base from which to fire and far better means of range determination and sighting which are available ashore, they estimate that hostile crafts could be kept at arm's length without difficulty. The situation is understood to have been presented already to congress. An item to cover modernization of the canal zone forts is understood to be included in the pending army es timates, as well as provision to per mit the continued maintenance of a Harrison there at all times adequate to the defense of the canal from any attack from sea, land or air.

Illinois Miners Pledge Su)K)rt to Kansas Union HoMat and Follower, Y. pelled by LruU, t Haf Financial Aid, at I.cat Until April. Imluiupuli. leb. 19. Continued financial upyort. at Ut until April 1, was pledged to Alexander llowat and other fuelled Kansas miner ai the United Kline Worker of America by the lllmoii district delegate to the union's special run ventioit which, in it final eion. refused to cotioidcr llowat' appeal for union reinstatement. The pledge, given unanimously by the Itlinoi delrgatei, came a a cli max of a long meeting that wa marked by several speaker evcrely condemning President John L. Lewia and other international union officer, who expelled llowat and his follower on the ground of re(uinii to obey an order directing that striker be ordered back to work. Says Expulsion Outrage. President Frank Farrington of the Illinois district told the delegate l.j II. 1,1, , l uaa a-v itrllril for ODDOS- ing the Kama industrial court and he asserted "no greater outrage wa ...... ra.-il.-r,! th.in that of interna tional officer against the Kansas miners. ... , t Aside from considerinu the Kan sas case, the Illinois delegate elect ed eight members of the interna tional union' waRe scale committee for the central competitive field. The committee, which will also include members from the Indiana. Ohio and western Pennsylvania districts, will attempt to negotiate an agreement to avert the strike. Much Dissension. Mr. Farrington, in his speech on the Kansas case, declared that dele gates to the international union's convention were returning home with "tremendous dissension withm the union's ranks, because Of tnc failure to consider .the Howat ap peal. He charged that "hif?h-handcd tactics" of President Lewi in block ing consideration of the appeal had caused the dissension. . "The Kansas miners went on strike." said Mr. Farrington, giving his version of the case, "because-they would not bow in meek submission to the Kansas industrial court. Kan sas was not on a strike in defiance to any mandates of an international convention, but decided a year be fore the 1921 convention that they would go on strike if any officials went to jail for defying that indus trial court law. Lewis and every body knew there would be a strike the instant anyone went to jail for defying that law." Sentiment Grows for . Mondell Bonus Plan (Continued From I'r One.) toward meeting the first year's cost of the cash payments to the former service men. ' Views of the majority members of the ways and means committee on this plan have not yet been publicl; developed. These members will n.-. tomorrow to go into the whole bo question, but an immediate decision as to how the bonus will be financed is not expected. Proponents of a sales tax, however, are understood to be prepared to force their fight in the committee at the earlist oppor tunity. Some opponents of the sales levy concede that there are sufficient votes among the majority members of the committee to report out such a tax, but declare the question of ex pediency must enter into the final decision. The first consideration, they said, is the probable effect of such a tax on the minds of the people generally, and the second the known effect that will be produced among republican members of the house. Plan to Renew Fight. . If such a tax is-, proposed to a party conference, the opponents as sert that they will renew the fight which was waged successfully in a similar conference in 1920 when the first bonus bill was presented with a sales tax attached. Failing to wii in the caucus,, they declare ' their fight would be carried to the floor of the house with the expectation c almost solid support from the dem ocrats. ' It is understood to be the hope o leaders of the agricultural btoc. th the committee will report out a bill without any specific provision for raising the funds, as the senate fi nance committee did last year. Pres ident Harding has said that he cou. not look with favor on a measu; that did not carry ways of financ it, but it was understood to be the thought of some of the supporters of such a bill that with a large sum mad? available through reductions in the estimated cost of conducting the regular government, a situation would be created which would re move executive objection. Efforts to Defeat Buffalo Farm Bureau Defeated Kearney, Neb., Feb. 19. (Special.) Efforts to defeat functioning of the Buffalo County Farm bureau failed.

The own ers, according to his proposal, were not to receive any returns until the employes were paid standard rates of pay, a period estimated at 10 years.
