Whaf officials believe to be complete in formation as to the relative naval strength of the principal world powers is now in possession of th American government.- Whether it will be presented to the senate foreign relations committee in i connection with the committee's I consideration of proposals looking to world disarmament has not been disclosed. England Greatest Sea Power . The information has been com plied iu the form of tables which shows that Great Britain's sea power Is double that of the United States and that although the Brit ish preponderance In capital ship will practically have been ovt-r-come by the United States with the completion in 1923 of the American building program, the American navy will still be great ly inferior in types of vessels which naval officers regard as ex tremely important, notably de stroyer leaders, cruisers and lij-'ht cruisers, cruising submarines and airplane ships. The American navy today, ac cording to this information, has more than double the strength of the Japanese navy and this ratio will be maintained even with the completion of the building pro grams of the two countries. The United States will be far superior, not only in capital ships but also in destroyers and submarines. Ja pan, however, will have doubled the number of battle cruisers now possessing four such vessels with eight others - projected while the United States has none completed and only six building. British Nary Is Pioneer Without reference - to second line ships, of which Great Britain has a preponderance in all classes over the United States and Japan, the British navy contains 28 bat tleships carrying at least ten guns each of 12-inch calibre or larger and displacing 20,000 tons or more. The United States has 16 such vessels. Japan six. France seven and Italy four. The British navy, pioneer in the development of the battle cruiser type still retains an easy advan tage In this generally regarded in dispeusible class of modern ships-of-war with six first line battle cruisers and four others classed as "second line." The United States has none completed and six under construction, Japan four in service and eight projected; France and Italy have no battle cruisers built CHICAGO. 'Jan. 7.

MENTAL EM1INATI0N MARRIAGE TO BE PROPOSED AT SESSION i In less than 10 years, there will be a federal statute re quiring every man and Ionian who apply for a marriage license to submit to careful. mental tests. If they cannot pass, then the sterilization law, also to be a federal act, will be applied. f . 4 is the prediction of Dr. B. A. Owens-Adair, who win begin activity to that end in the Oregon legislature which meets Monday. She will have introduced at the session-an amendment to the present Oregon law requiring physical ex aminations of all men applying for marriage licenses, the amendment to provide in Oregon the requirements which later she says will become national law.

The requirements for first line cruisers were declar ed to be large fast cruisers launch ed since January 1, 1901. capable of keeping station with the battle fleet. Neither the United States, Japan. France nor Italy have been able to meet the requirement Great Britain is credited with two such vessels in service, none under construction and 22 in the second line while the United States has none under construction and ten in the second line. Neither Japan France no Italy has any such crui sers built or building although each nation has a few obsolet ! cruisers classed as "second line.' In light cruiser strength Great Britain leads all other nations by a large margin with Japan second and the United States a poor third. The British navy has 41 light cruisers in the first line. 24 In the second line and five under" construction. Japan has six such vessels in service and nine under construction, while the United States has three ships built as scout cruisers designated as '"fight cruisers' of the second line" and ten light cruisers of the Omaha class under construction. France has four first line light cruisers in service and six build ing and Italy five in service and none building. Several of the French and Italian ships were ob tained from the former German j navy. : Britain Ijcade in Destroyers Great Britain is shown to be the only nation with any destroyer leaders, having 24 such vessels with a speed of 30 knots and up and a minimum displacement of 1500 tons and another building. Neither Japan nor the United States has any destroyer leaders under construction.; while France has 12 building and Italy five.

Not a cent of money so far appropriated Dy congress tor the care of war veterans suffering from disability or wounds has been spent for hos pitals for the treatment of insane, the house commerce committee was informed today by Dr. Thom as W. Salmon of New York, ad visor on mental diseases to the Rockefeller Foundation. - The statement was made at a hearing on the Rogers bill to con solidate into one bureau the sev eral government agencies dealing with soldier relief. As a result of this failure to provide proper facilities, Dr. Sal mon added, veterans sutterlng from mental and nervous disor ders are in many instances being committed by the government to institutions in which criminal in sane, drug adicts and vicious de generates are segregated. In addition to Dr. Salmon, those who urged passage of the bill in cluded Dr. H. A. Pattison of New York, supervisor of medical ser vice of the national tuberculosis association; F. W. Galbraith. na tional commander of the Ameri can Legion and several other le gion officers. Mr. Pattison stres sed the need for government hos pitals for the treatment of veter ans suffering from tuberculosis. while Mr. Gailbraith suggested the decentralization of authority in dealing with disabled men had put many of .Ihehi In a "fright ful" predicament. The legion commander estimat ed that 10.000 applications for compensation awaited action by the bureau of war risk Insurance. John II. Sherburne of B rook 1 in. lin. Mass.. a brigade commander of the twenty-sixth division, told the committee that the average soldier needing hospital care aud compensation "throws up his hands and doesn't try to get aid. because he doesn't want to become tangled up in red tape." "Men are dying while the gov ernment is trying to find out whether they are entitled to aid." he declared. Abel Davis of Chicago, chair man of the legion's hospitalization committee said: Hundreds and thousands of vet erans, discharged from the army seemingly well, were suffering from tuberculosis," and he pre dicted that the peak in the num ber of cases of Tuberculosis and mental nervous disorders would not be reached until 1?27. In another resolution the super intendents urged that a law be en acted preventing the county court of any county from lowering the per capita tax for tbe county school fund to less than the previ ous year. For failure on the Dart of any school district hoard to remedy sanitary and physical conditions found to be bad after an investi gation by the county health of ficer and boundary board the con vention favored a law giving to the county school superintendent power to make the needed im provement and charge the costs against tbe school district, i ln asking for an annual audit of the accounts of the school dis tricts it was . urged that under present conditions the books of many districts have proved to be inaccurate, unbusinesslike and in some instances vicious. Practically every county school superintendent ia Oregon was in attendance at the convention which closed .with j banquet last night. Addresses and a soc.al hour featured the final day's session.
