DEMANDING NAVAL PARITY WITH BRITAIN AND THE UNITED STATES WERE STRONGLY EXPRESSED BY ONE OF AMERICA'S "BIG NAVY" ADVOCATES TO-DAY.

Strong precautionary measures, including the strengthen- ing and extension of naval bases in the Pacific were foreshadowed, the belief being expressed that Japan has cast covetous eyes on the Philippines.

It is hinted that a strong Anglo-American front will

be presented at the forthcoming naval conference.

TRAGIC DEATH OF GUSTAV HOLST

STRIKES HEAD IN FALL

GRIEVOUS LOSS TO MUSIC

London, May 25. Following zo soon after the death of Sir Edward Elgar, the death to-day of Gustav Holst comes as a further grievous loss to English music. His death is the sequel to an injury to his head, sustained from a fall while conducting, which necessitated a dangerous operation.

Holst spent much of his career as a member of various orchestras and in teaching, and it was only comparatively late in life that his compositions brought him fame. Despite his love of English folk times, which are incorporated sometimes unexpectedly in many of his widely contrasted works, ifs style was generally los austere to have a wide popular appeal.
