11 Per Cent. Increase Seems Assured WASHINGTON,
Apr. 17 (Router).The Vinson Bill pro- viding for an. 11 per cent. increase in the United States Navy seems certain of securing recommendation to the Senate by the Naval Committee.....

Cobwebs Of Ignoranca
The aim of Germany's aggressive war, said Mr. Eden, was to make her infinitely the most powerful nation in the world and, to enable her, by the ruthless use of that power, to compel Europe to submit to German rule and the world to yled to German authority. The Alles were Oghting to preserve the status quo, but to preserve the possibility of progress.
