Leaders Confident By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING Omaha H'o Hlr. Washington, April 10. The battle between the Harding administration and" the "little navy" congressmen, uho arc erking-lo reduce the per sonnel of tbf liavy to 67.IHI0 men. began in the house today. So vigorous and aggressive became the opposition to the appropriation bill, which proposes to allow th? American navy fewer men than the Japanese navy, that the "little navy" group found itself on the defensive from the start and threatened with repudiation by the house. Under a terrific bombardment of facts and figures showing that the measure would well-nigh destroy American sea power, the "little navy" ranks began to waver. Representa tive Padgett, Tennessee, democrat, former chairman of the naval affairs committee, rallied many democrats to the administration's standard with a vigorous speech in which he charged that the measure not only would render the American navy greatly inferior to the British navy, but would also reduce it to a bare equality with that of Japan. Repre sentative Tinkham, Massachusetts, republican, branded the bill as "a product of a pacifistic propaganda:' Hughes Write, Letter. The opposition has still more am munition to fire tomorrow. Secre tary of State Hughes, as the chair man of the Washington conference on the limitation of armament, has written a letter to Representative Rogers, Massachusetts, republican, pptaling to the house to support the administration s navy recommenda tions and urging it to refrain from action which would jeopardize Amer ica's standing in the 5-5-3 ratio. Mr Rogers plans to read this letter to the house tomorrow in answer to the "little navy" leaders who" con tend that the provisions of the bill do not conflict with the terms of the 5-5-3 program. Canvass of the house by adminis tration leaders led them to predict today that they would be able to muster enough votes to overthrow the "little navy" committee's recom mendations by a majority, of about 50. They are confident they will have sufficient strength to force the adop tion of an amendment providing about 80,000 men m "place of the 67, 000 recommended by the "appropria tions committee. New England Against Plan. The entire New England delega tion, regardless of party, is lined up against the measure. Most of the delegations from the Atlantic seaboard states also arc opposed, to it. A large proportion of the demo crats from the south Atlantic and some from the gulf states have joined the opposition. The Pacific coast delegations are solidly against it. Even the middle western delega tion, which form -the bulk of the "little navy" strength, began to split up. Representative.. Kelley, Michigan, republican, chairman of the subcom mittee which framed the navy, bill, led off the debate with a speech in which he insisted that the measure allowed all the money necessary to maintain the' most adequate and effi cient navy possible under the terms of the 5-5-3 agreement. He said he had noticed many beautiful w6rks of fiction" concerning the strength of the British navy, which he said, would be about 95,000 men, or about the same as that , of the American navy, counting, all branches of the service, including the marines. He declared that the Japanese navy, notwithstanding .. the 5-5-3 ratio, would be little more than half as strong as theXAmcrican navy was in 1916., - .. : Bills Found in River Stolen From Treasury Wasliincrtnn.- Anril 10.

Rohrer, federal prohibition enforcement agent, declared today that his idea of wasted efforf is the activity here of the agents of the onti-prohibiion movement. .

"Not by a jugful," he declared. "You Omahans don't realize the sen timent out in the state. The proposi tion would be defeated by a bigger majority now than it would have been right after prohibition began ' Youth Learns of True Parentage . Through Arrest v "Mother".

"The women would defeat it. I can tell by letters I get. Before prohibi tion, many vivcs seldom saw their husbands' money. Now they do." A "prescription" law also has no chance in xNebraska, declared Mr. Rohrer. . "They have it in Iowa and Illinois and many other states," he said, "but not a chance for it here. Nebraska is bone dry in the sentiments of a great majority of its people. The 48.000, 000 gallons of whisky still held in storage for 'prescriptions' will not find any outlet in this state.
