Navy Included in Plans.
Washington, p. C.— Four hundred
mllliou dollars for national defense,
an Increase of approximately $140,000,-
000 over last year, constitutes the
amount which President W ilson and
his advisers say should be appropriat
ed by the next congress for the army
and navy.
As the time for the completion of
annual estimates draws near, the Pres
ident Is giving preliminary considera
tion to the national defense budget,
out of which It is hoped to lay down
a stronger naval program than the
United States has ever authorized,
and sim ilarly a larger provision for
the m ilitary establishment than has
been customary in time of peace.
The president has had before him
for several weeks the outlines of a mil
