to the i 11 ness of Premier Asquith and the delineate negotiations which are proceeding between the allies, the enlightenment which today's meeting of the house of commons was expected to throw on the Balkan operations over which Sir Edward is believed jto have resigned from the cabinet and Mon the substitution of Major General Monro for General Sir Inn Hamilton command in the Dardanelles was not forthcoming. There were mure than a hundred questions in the house on the orders of the day, dealing chiefly with Near Eastern affairs, the Dardanelles and the method of raising necessary men for the army, and while ministers answered many of them, in no case was the information which the public was anxiously awaiting supplied. It is generally agreed, however, that for the moment at least the controversy over recruiting has been silenced, for the conscriptionlsts or a majority of them have decided to Rive Lord new scheme a fair trial and to assist him in every way to get the men to increase the size of and fill the gaps in the army. It is understood that the voluntary system is receiving its last trial and, despite the opposition throughout the country, those favoring national service for all will endeavor to enforce its adoption, should Lord Derby fail in his efforts. So far as the Dardanelles and the Balkans are concerned, a good deal of the pessimism which reigned a w-eek ago has disappeared.

It is believed that instead of any idea existing of abandoning the attempt to open the straits and sea route to Constantinople, the appointment of General Monro means a more strenuous effort and that when the right moment comes ihe Italian navy, if not the Italian troops, will co-operate. It is known that the forces on Gallipoli have not been weakened for the Balkan camapign and while the task is difficult, the majority of the British public are confident that it ultimately will be accomplished. In the Balkans the Austro-German and Bulgarian armies continue to claim progress against the Serbians, but except In the north where the Serbs are being forced back into the mountains the various reports do not go far toward clarifying the situation. Bulgarians have cut the railway between and Nish, so it is likely that except in the extreme south, where they have the support of the Anglo-French troops landed at Salon- iki, the Serbs are falling bai to stronger natural positions. Istip anti Kotchana, it is said, already have I evacuated.

Italy, which singularly enough Is still technically at peace with Germany, has declared war on Bulgaria, and Russia is expected to follow her exdmple almost immediately. When this formality is completed, it is possible that the action which Italy and Russia intend to take in the Balkans will be defined. The allies also have made a new diplomatic move with respect to Greece, the British and Russian ministers having delivered a to Athens explaining that the allies do not agree with the Greek government's interpretation of the reco Serbian treaty and notifying Premier Zaimis of their intention to land more troops at Saloniki. It is not expected, however, that anything but allied success will have any influence with Greece, or for that matter, ith Rumania. Russia is trying for this In Galicia and Volhynia where General Ivauoff has won several local victories nmi is keeping the Aus- tro-Germans busy.

By The Associated Press. Washington, Oct. official estimates of the navy's part in the administration's $1,000,000,000 national defense plan were made public tonight by Secretary Daniels.

They show that within five years it is proposed to spend on construction of new ships, development of aircraft and creation of a huge reserve of ammunition and guns for the navy. The five-year building program contemplates construction of ten dreadnoughts, six battle cruisers, ten scout cruisers, fifty destroyers, fifty seagoing submarines, eighty-five coast defense submarines, four gunboats, one hospital ship, two ammunition ships, two fuel oil ships and one repair ship. The last of these vessels will be built and in commission late in On naval ammunition it is proposed to spend during the five years and on reserve munitions $25,000,000. These figures with the addition of for completion of ships already authorized or now under construction, make up the total of more than dollars to be expended on the navy in addition to the regular budget which approximates 100 1 00,000 a year. Secretary Daniels will recommend this winter the addition to the navy of 7.500 bluejackets, 2,500 apprentices and 1.500 marines, a total of 11,500 men.

With this addition to personnel it is estimated that all battleships not more than fifteen years old, destroyers and submarines built within twelve years, half of the crutders and all of the gunboats and necessary fleet auxiliaries can be manned and an adequate reserve be maintained for vessels on the reserve list. To officer the additional force of marines, the secretary wid recommend appointment of one additional brigadier general, two colonels, two lieutenant colonels, six majors, one colonel, an assistant quartermaster, fourteen captains, fourteen first lieutenants, thirteen second lieuteimnts and twenty-two warrant officers. Increase Number of Middies. Additional naval officers would be obtained by increasing the number of midshipmen at Annapolis by not less than 25u men. For the aviation corps Secretary Daniels will recommend establishment of a special service to which civilian aviators can be appointed.

The 1317 naval estimates to be presented to congress this winter will total an increase of over last year's appropriation. Of the increase $57,003,000 will be for new construction, $8,000,000 for munitions reserve, $2,000,000 for ammunition and the balance of the total appropriation en will go toward continuing department; ill expenses.
