PROVED BY PRESIDENT
WILSON.
FIVE-YEAR COST $500,000,000
First Year's Plan Will Call for Two '
Dreadnaughts, Three Battle Cruto
era, 25 Submarines and 16 Destroy
ers To Build Own Ships.
Washington, Oct. 18. Secretary
Daniels' nnval program, which haB
been approved by President Wilson,
provides un expenditure of $500,000,
000 during a five-year period.
Tho exact amount to bo expended
each year 1ms not been decided, but
tho llrst year's program probablr will
call for two dreadnaughts and Uiroo
battle cruisers In addition to about
twetity-flvo submarines, sixteen do
stroyors and probably live scout cruis
ers. Tho flvo-year program calls for six
toon capital ships ten dreadnoughts
and six battlo cruisers.
The total amount to bo appropriated
for construction tho first year will bo
In the neighborhood of S100.000.000. but
slnco about $28,000,000 of this sum 18 j
ror llireo battleships authorized last
year tho total Increaso In tho naval
appropriation bill Is likely to bo ap
proximately $72,000,000.
Secretary Daniels said ho wanted to
increnso tho capacity of tho various
government navy yards and do much
of tho now warship construction In
thoso yards.
Secretary Garrison's plan for
strengthening tho military establish
ment and organizing a great continen
tal army for defonso proposes tho fol
lowing: 1. Regular army of 110,000 men, an
Increaso of 50,000 men in tho present
establishment.
2. A continental army, 400,000
strong, enlisted for six years for sorv
lc.o within tho continental United
Stntes, These men would servo two
months n year for tho first tlirco yearB
with tho colors, undergoing a period
of Intenslvo training. Tho remaining
threo years would bo on furlough, sub
ject to call in time of need.
It is estimated that 40,000 of tho
540,000 men thus provided for would
bo noncombatants of tho medical
corps or other auxiliary forces not In
cluded In tho lighting line.
Dohlnd this army would bo tho Na
tional Guard, now somo 125,000 strong,
but whoso numbers might bo substan
tially augmented by tho organization
of tho continental army.
