"§#*The vote was by tellers and the ^fettle navy" leaders have some hopes St opsettinjr IT, Administration leaders tppre confident, however, that in view Ot the couilortable margin in favor ot tte Vare amendment they wwld be able to bold their own 00 1 record w*- ^ ;No Issue raised during the present ilBBlon of congress has raised so much Incitement In the house as the controversy over the navy bill. The debate preceding the action was one of ile most spirited the hoose has wit- Itessed for several years. Enthusiasm of the administration forces broke away from all restraint ftfhen the vote was announced. Loud Cbeera and wild whoops drowned out fee furious hammering of the speakir's gavel, and several jubilant "big ®Bvy" men did an Indian war dance #>wn the center aisle. |i; Only the most earnest pleas by President Harding.

Representative Madden (I1L), Rep- ? '^-esentatlve Mondell (Wyo.), Republlc- Jin leaders, and Representative Keiley : .

Chicago. April 15.--From the Rocky mountains to the Great Lakes and from the Canadian border almost down to the Gulf of Mexico, the central section of the United States is experiencing one of the most disastrous spring seasons that has "been recorded In years. Damages running Into the millions already bas resulted and the menace of flood, cold weather and high winds has not yet abated. Serious apprehension still exists that the unfavorable weather conditions will retard the planting of crops to the extent of curtailing the year's output of grain and other foodstuffs. Reports received here tell of flood dangers in many sections, but particularly throughout Illinois. At Pekin, 111., hundreds of persons are homeless following the collapse of a dike along the LaMarsh drainage district under pressure of high waters. Three thousand acres of farm land are inundated. Guards are patrolling the levees and dikes that are menaced by flood pressure. Flood damage In the Beardstown (III.) section Is rapidly Increasing with the continued rise of the Illinois river. Ninety blocks of the town sre under water; stores and theaters are closed; one-fourth of the business district it Inundated, and thousands of acres of farm land are flooded. Refugees are being housed In tent colonies. Many towns In Michigan are fighting to stem the floods that threaten serious damage. • Thirty homes in North LaCroese, Wis., are surrounded by water; the Fox river at Oshkosh Is reported rising rapidly and considerable flood damage bas resulted In the vicinity of Oconto. Reports reaching various agencies interested In crop conditions Indicate that in many sections the recent rains have prevented sowing of oats, spring wheat and plowing for corn. This delay In seeding will make late crops, and In many sections may prevent entirely the successful cultivation of large areas. 8 *£! Prasident WwM K«p the U.

Washington, April 17. -- President Harding in a letter read to the bouse urged that the naval bill provide for a more adequate enlisted force than 67,000 as fixed by the appropriations committee. While the decision most lie with coogress, the President said be could only repeat formally what he hnd Bald informs'ly, that he was persuaded It would not be wise to make so drastic a cut as prtposed m the house Mil. The President whUe "not doubting tbe good faith of the committee majority" said he must believe in the good faith of tbe navy and naval advisers who declared very emphatically it was impossible to maintain within the proposed appropriation the stand* ard set for the navy at the conference and which was proclaimed to the world. Tbe letter, addressed to and read to the house by Representative Longworth (Rep., O.) said that a navy of 67,000 men might be reached ultimately, but "the trend toward peace and security ought to be more firmly established before going beyond the limitations to which we were gladly committed at the international conference." The President said be would bo greatly disappointed as be knew the country would be if the enlisted personnel was reduced below 86,000, the figure which bas been proposed by the "big navy" group. The President's letter follows: "My Dear Congressman Longworth: 1 have to acknowledge your letter ot inquiry addressed to me on tbe 10th ibstant. If I were to, address the congress formally I could say only what I have already said Informally, because I am well persuaded that it is not wise to make so drastic a cut in the naval appropriations ns has been proposed in the measure now pending In the house. **1 do not doubt the good faith of the committee majority In believing a suitable navy can be maintained under the limitation fixed In the pending bill and I am heartily In accord with every consistent effort to deepen the cut loT governmental expenditures. At the same time I must believe in the good faith of the Navy department and our naval advisers, who say very emphatically that it Is Impossible to maintain with the proposed appropriations, the standard set for our navy which was made the base of the international conference and which standard we have proclaimed to the world. "Of course, the decision mast lie with the congress, but 1 should not be frank In replying to your Inquiry if I did not say that 1 shall be greatly disappointed--and I believe tbe country will be greatly disappointed--if the appropriation, to which the navy must and will adhere, is reduced to the point where the limitation of enlisted men and apprentices Is below 86,000. No presentation of tbe situation which has come to my notice has served to alter that opinion. "Ultimately, perhaps, the lower figures proposed may be reached, and I hope it will be possible through later International concert, but the trend toward peace ami security ought to be more firmly established before going beyond the limitation to which we were gladly committed at the international conference." Changing their first plan, bouse members leading the move for an enlisted naval personnel of 86,000 made no attempt at the opening of the house to force over until next week a vote on the contested section of the naval-appropriations bill. Miss Alice H. Robertson (Rep^ Okla.), the only woman member of the house, during a ten-minute speech on the bill, declared that women, as advisers to the arms conference delegation, had helped fix the 5-5-3 ratio, below which she as a woman thought congress should not go in fixing the enlisted strength of the navy.
