NAVAL RACE PREDICTED

IN LONDON

Responsibility Lies With Japanese

UNITED STATES PLANS

TO BUILD SLOWLY

London, Mar. 30.

The first step towards a new naval race will be the option of sixteen-inch guns on warships, says the Times a critical article to-day.

It was within the power of Japan, the journal con- tinues, to prevent that step by a mere undertaking not to take it herself. If the world now finds itself committed to the folly of unrestricted naval competition, there can be no possible doubt where the responsibility lies, the paper declares,-Reuter.

FAR-SIGHTED POLICY.

Washington, Mar. 29.

High officers of the Navy Department here to-day declared the United States' determination to maintain warship construction on a regular replacement basis, re- gardless of the programmes of other powers, at least for the present. For this reason they are shelving the "Big Navy" group's tentative plans for the construction of ten cruisers immediately.

Mr. Claude Swanson, Secretary of; the Navy, backed the replacement

LEADERS OF SECOND DIVISION DEFEATED

London, Mar. 29.

Charlton regained the leadership of the first division English Football League to-day when they defeated Chelsea by a lone goal. Arsenal conceded a point to Stoke, while Manchester City increased their challenge by taking full toll of Liverpool, to the tune of 5-1..

There were surprises in the second division. Black- pool, Leicester and Bury, who head the division, all suffered defeats and materially helped Aston Villa in their promotion quest. The Villa did not play, and have matches in hand of the leaders,

In the other divisions results went according to expectations. With the exception of the Irish League, which results are sent by our own correspondent, the following results were cabled by Reuter.
