NO ACTIVE SOLICITATION
Booths to be Provided in A Buildings for Those Who Care to Give

GREAT BRITAIN STOPS NAVAL CONSTRUCTION
Work Will Be Stopped on Four Super Dreadnaughts Now
SHIP CONCERNS TO STOP
Britain's First Move to Prove Her Acceptance of Hughes'
Plan
Great Britain has ordered immediate cessation of construction work on capital ships to prove her desire for independence. The port, it was officially stated today.
After a sudden and unexpected announcement by the Admiralty that work had been stopped on 4 super dreadnoughts an official statement was issued that this move was Britain's first step to prove she is desirous of disarming in accordance with Hughes' program.
All ship building concerns at work were advised by the admixture to incur no further liability on new construction instructions by the admixture.
Admiral Scott, noted naval expert,
characterized the suspension, a red
letter day for the tax payer declaring,
"It will save him a hundred million
pounds, 'normally about $500,-,
000,000."
The four vessels had been planned by British naval experts as the world's greatest. They were to be larger and faster than the Japanese fastest, now the world's greatest fighting ship.
The proposed ships were known as he Hoods and as the Hursh ship.
The latter name arose from the fact that the admiralty had given out only very meagre information about the plans for the big vessel. It was known that they were to make express train speed, more than 40 miles an hour, now made by the latest battle cruisers.
In addition they were to carry an armament not only greater than the best battle cruiser but greater than the biggest dreadnought.
This combination with the speed of the vessel were counted upon to make them the most powerful afloat. The guns would have outranged the dreadnoughts that they were planned to supersede and almost any other vessels except the latest destroyers.
The halting of the British battle- ship building is unprecedented.
