WASHINGTON, July 24. (United
News ) Great Britain'a decision to
build 16 powerful battle cruisers In
the next five years, announced by
Premier Baldwin, has centered at
tention again on the loose link In
the chain forged by the Washington
arma conference to throttle war.
The failure to limit thia type of vea
ael, which la a ready weapon, has
often been commented upon. The
British plan will atlr up big . navy
men In the United Statea and other
countries, which Joined the laat arma
conference, to call loudly for cruis
ers to match those ot the British,
it la expected, and the armament
race will be on full tilt again, union,
the nations take aome further ac
tion. Capital ahlpa were limited by
the conference, but a nation can
build aa many battle crulaera aa it
deslrea, up to a limit of 10,000 tone
each.
Menace To Peace
The reaction here will be two
fold; the demand from advocates
of a atrong navy for more cruisers,
and an appeal tor another limitation
of armaments conference from tboae
who aee in thia tendency a danger
oua menace to world peace.
Aa a result ot the British initla
tive, It ia likely that both schools
will stir up lively agitation in the
next congress, which may force this
government to open up tho question
ot another armament conference, to
take up limitation of battle cruls-
Presldent Coolidge announced
some months ago that he Intended
to call another conference when the
time waa ripe.
I. 8. May Strengthen
The attitude of the navy was In
dicated by an official Friday, who
declared that the Ir.rted Statea is
"woefully behind" In the matter ot
battle cruisers. A group in congreas,
for whom Representative Britten of
Illinois Is big navy champion, apeaks
most often reflects the same view.
Britten made a tight last year for a
navy than was secured.
The last congress authorited eight
new battle cruisers, but appropriated
for only two. An effort will be
made by the navy department to
have appropriations for others made
by the next ' congress. A special
navy board, which made an investi
gation of the navy's strength, reco
mmended that four others beside
these eight already authorized be
provided for by 1927, which would
give the United States 12 new crula
era. Thia would compare with the
16 to be built by Great Britain,

Serious Law Charge
Ray Bunch and Edith Sanklo were
found not guilty of the possession
of Intoxicating liquor by a Jury In
Piin jutta-a Gaghagen'a court yes
terday. Tho pair, however, were
immediately re-arrested on a charge
of lewd cohabitation, and will ap
pear before the grand Jury Monday.
Fay Morris, attorney for the de
fendant, refused to waive the pre
liminary hearing, even when Assist
ant District Attorney vanoenoerg
declared he could bring them before
the grand Jury regardless ot the re
sult of the preliminary hearing.
Morris declared that a preliminary
hearlnf was one of the privileges
the law afforded defendants in such
a case, and he intended to obtain
all possible legal advantages tor bis
clients.
Vandenburg could not appear for
a preliminary hearing today, how
ever, bo if one Is held it will come
after the grand Jury Investigation
ot the case,
F. L. Burckhalter, assistant gen
eral manager ot the Southern Pac
ific, arrived In Klamath Falls yes
terday evening for a two or three ,
days' tour of Inspection In thla ter- !(
rltory.
Burckhalter emphasized. how
ever, that his visit to Klamath Falls
waa not connected with the eon
strucMon work now under way on
the Natron cut-off. The first as
sistant general manager will travel
aa far as Odell lake In his private
car in order to familiarize himself
tn a general way with the work
now being done on the cut-off. Act
ual supervision ot construction,
however, ia handled by the chief
engineer.
Traffic Evenly Divided
When the cut-off Is completed
most of the through freight traffic
will be routed through Klamath
Falls, Burckhalter believes, and pas
senger traffic over the cut-off and
the old Siskiyou route will prob
ably be about evenly divided. '
' The maximum of traffic and ser
vice over the cut-off may not tie
reached Immediately, according to
the assistant general manager. The
right-of-way will be "green" ' and'
probably subjected to traffic inter
ruptions from slides, anow drifts
or other obstacles which will be
eliminated when the route is "seasoned."--
xtarcHhaltrras supervisor,
of operating- lines, . will .assume,
