'.Nsvnxc rcsTa carcuna Kan for Adequate: National Defense 4 - M Rebuilding of the Army and NtWy Under Way. Waaklagton. New steps, fostered by the- administration, for more adequate national defense are be Ins made on three fronts land, sea and air. Plans for new battleships are aader way, a mechanized army of swift mobility la being speeded, and new air bases along the coast are to ke established. These are the foremost protective measures. Congress has given the govern ment sufficient funds to develop a mechanized army and a scientific navy of smashing gun power. More than $800,000,000 was supplied In the 1936 army and navy appropria tion bills. High-Speed Tanks. Tbe army plans to eqnip more In fantry units with the high-powered semi-automatic rifle, which has three times tbe firing power of the stand ard Springfield rifle. Acquisition of high-speed armed tanks capable of traveling 70 miles an hoar and . combat cars, equipped with sponge rubber tires and with turrets con taining SO caliber machine guns, and one pounder rifles. Is to follow. New armor protection has been developed for seven and 15-ton trucks, to be obtained. Armored scout cars equipped with radio and carrying 50 caliber machine guns are on the schedule. With the Wilcox air base bill en acted the administration Is looking forward to the gradual adoption of a new policy of national defense. Tbe Wilcox bill, recently enacted, authorizes 'the establishment of a series of air bases along the At lantic and Pad 8c coastlines, on the Gulf of Mexico and In Alaska. It Is hoped that as much as $120, 000,000 will be expended on the creation of these bases during the next five years. Wall of Defense. Proponents of military aviation claim these air bases will establish a veritable "Chinese wall" around this country, and that It will be adequate In defending it from at tack. The new air bases will be linked up vith naval stations wherever pos sible, to provide the maximum of efficiency. The United States Is also draft ing plans for new naval vessels that cad be thrown Into production at once In tbe event of a world naval race. Naval leaders here hope tbe British-Japanese program of announc ing in advance, what tbe naval pro gram of each country will be for some years to come, will achieve results of mutual confidence that are predicted for IL But they are skeptical, and frank- Great Britain Prevents ale of Spies' Secrets London. Secrets of Great Brit ain's espionage network In the days of tbe Napoleonic wars are believed to have narrowly escaped being revealed for the first time In Sothe by's sale rooms In London. Their probable publication was prevented when the foreign office unexpectedly gave warning that the document In which the secrets are believed to be contained would be liable to confiscation under the offi cial secrets act. As a result, there Is considerable likelihood that they may be taken to the United States for sale. The documents are a part of the papers of Lord Stuart de Rothesay, British ambassador in Paris early In the Nineteenth century, and be long to the earl of Abingdon, who was offering the entire lot for auc tion. They Include a series of 62 let ters from the duke of Wellington to Stuart de Rothesay between 1814 and 1830, chiefly dealing with France after the fail of Napoleon; correspondence of great Importance between Stuart and Admiral Lord Berkeley, chief commander on the Portuguese coast from 1810 to 1812; "oflicial letters and dispatches from Portugal, 1810-3," and dispatches from Lord Nelson and the duke of Wellington.

That program will not Increase . the American naval strength. Tbe ships will be replace ments of vessels already In service. Approximately bait, a dozen cruis ers' also mast be replaced on the same basis, and by the end of the period the ; aircraft "carriers Lex ington and Saratoga will be nearlng the obsolete stage.', Plant Blooms Each Night but Loses Buds in Day Berne, ind.

A race of pygmies has been discovered in mountainous An nam hinterland ' of southeastern Asia, hlthterto believed uninhab ited. A tiny man and woman were cap tared by natives and taken to Hue, government seat of the Qnang Blnb province. Administrator Pierrot of province In the French protectorate reported. They are being nursed to health from malnutrition.

The dog was trapped In an Irrlga tlon canal, its head-wedged In a weed catcher. One man offered $5 to anyone who could free, the dog. Another volunteered to swim down the ditch; to rescue the animal. ,' Police and firemen were called. Street employees finally used ham mer and : chisels to tear up the street, ditch and concrete founda tions,' and the: dbg was freed. It feebly 'shook the- water 'from its body and was on Its way. Pygmies in Annam aboriginal race.' While on an ex-1 pedltion through tbe stricken area Pierrot thought he saw a pygmy clinging to a log being carried down a river. He was unable to reach the log to save the small man, If 'there was one, but the administra tor began asking natives If they bad seen any pygmies. Pierrot found a few villagers who said tbey had seen dwarfish people occasionally, so timid and elusive . that natives never could catch np with them. Later the pygmy man and woman were captured and brought here. Doctor Trehout, director of tbe French hospital, recognized them as belonging to a race closely akin to the African pygmies. The French School of the Ex treme Orient has been notified of the find and has begun an intensive study to determine tbe origin of this curious race. . - Air Commuter in East Is an Old Time Pilot Georgetown, Md.
