WOULD SEIZE GERMAN ART The Committe on Arts and Decorations of the Mayor's Committe on National Defense believes that Germany and Austria, because of their wanton destruction of art works in Allied territories they invaded, have shown themselves incapable of sincerely appreciation of art and should therefore surrender to the Allies all notable works of art which they have within their own borders. The committee has passed a resolution on the matter and sent it to President Wilson. It urges that the surrender of works of art should be part of the war indemnity.

$600,000,000 for Building Program. Washington, November 16-Estimates of the Navy Department for the 1920 submitted Naval to Congress Appropriation and Bill, announced as today, call for $2,441,900,000, but as they were prepared with the view of continuance of the war, material reductions are expected during the framing of the bill, which will be begun next Tuesday by 1 the House Naval Committee. Appropriations for the Navy for the fiscal year, ending next June 30, amounted to about $1.730.000,000, all of which except $125.000,000 provided by a recent deficiency measure, was carried by the regular 1919 Appropriation Bill. Increase in naval strength is provided for by the new estimates. Besides calling for new threebuilding program of 156 vessels, including 10 superdreadnoughts, six battle cruisers and 140 smaller craft as previously announced by Secretary Daniels, the estimates include appropriations of $233,985,000 for completing the first three-year program.

The new building program contemplates expenditure of $600,000,000. one-third of that amount being appropriated each year. An emergency fund of $175.000,000. to be spent at the direction of the President, in expediting delivery of material and munitions and completion of new ships, also is contained in the estimates. The cost of the Marine Corps is estimated at $155,286,900, an increase of about $12,000.000 over the last appropriation.

Other big items of the estimates include: Pay of the Navy, aviation, $225,000.000: ammunition, new ship batteries, fuel, repair of vessels, ordnance and ordnance stores, reserve ordnance supplies, medical department, $15,200.000. Improvements are planned at several navy yards and stations.

Improvements on the waterfront, new shops and other work at Norfolk, would cost $3,300,000, while work at the Hampton Roads operating base would cost $3,000,000. At the Key West Naval Station $2,525,000 would be spent building a waterworks system and submarine base.

Shops at the Mare Island, yard would cost 000. and improvement work at the Puget Sound yard, $775,000. Your Boy's Friend the K. of C. EDWARD H.

BANCROFT DIES Edward Hall Bancroft, who was born in Oswego, N. in 1841, died on Friday at his residence, 164 Sterling after an illness of several weeks from pneumonia. As a young man he went to the Middle West, and was in Kansas during the John Brown anti-slavery excitement. When he saw slaves sold at the block in St. Louis he became an ardent supporter of abolition.

Afterward he went to Winona, where he was one of the first manufacturers of supplies for the great flour mills of that section. There he married Maria whose family was one of the pioneers" from New York State. Some years later Mr. Bancroft returned to this State and became the manager of what was then the Syracuse Northern Railroad, and was also owner of a flour mill at Rochester. With his uncle, William C.

Bancroft, who was afterward Assistant Postmaster under President Cleveland, he helped to build the Grand Trunk Railway. Mr. Bancroft was a resident of Brooklyn for 20 years, and had a summer home at Greensboro, Vt. He is survived by his widow and one daughter, Miss Jessie H. Bancroft, assistant director of physical training in the public schools.

Funeral services will be held today, in private, at his late residence. The Rev. L. Mason Clark of the First Presbyterian Church and the Rev. J.

A. Wood will officiate. Interment at Kensico Cemetery.

00 CAN 0 URGE PROSPECT PARK FOR HEROES' SHAFT Payne Hill, Overlooking Meadow, Favored as ment Site. The movement for a memorial to honor the soldiers of Brooklyn who gave their lives in the service of their country became more definite yesterday when Park Commissioner John N. Harman and Roland E. Blaisdell of 45 Hampton place, came forward with concrete suggestions for the location and form of the monument. "I have always thought of the memorial to those who died for our cause as a simple and aspiring shaft," said Commissioner Harman yesterday.

"I would have its base surmounted by heroic figures of our soldiers and sailors. In a frieze around the cube I would like to see representations in base relief of the cleaving of the Hindenburg line, the storming of Siergy and the battle in the Argonne Woods in which our Brooklyn men splendidly distinguished themselves. Beneath the frieze I would have inscribed the names of the dead. "I had thought of the plaza of the Manhattan Bridge as a site, but there the public passes hurriedly, and in Borough Hall Park the impression would be reduced by the surrounding buildings. Within Prospect Park are two sites, Lookout Mountain, the highest point in that vicinity, but there the stately trees might mar the majesty of the memorial, and Payne Hill, which overlooks the Long Meadow.

On the slope of that hill many of the brave whose heroism this monument would commemorate camped and drilled in' the early days of the war. Across those fields they fought the sham battles that were preparing them for battles of unexampled intensity in grim earnest. The sward rises clear and beautiful to the crest of that hill. It is, I think, the ideal site." Mr. Blaisdell's suggestion also is for the Long Meadow, but his idea is for a shaft less ornate than the picturesque creation of the Park Commissioner.

"I suggest a huge white stone cross," Dr. Blaisdell said yesterday, "placed in the Meadow in Prospect Park, with the American helmet on top and a laurel wreath (for victory). hung on the arms; at the foot of the cross, in stone, a rougn mound--I mean to make a reproduca grave in France. Where the soldier's name would appear, carve the dedicatory inscription. This, to me, would be a memorial to those who had 'gone To the great majority of the borough's citizens, peace means only victory and they naturally desire something to emphasize that spirit.

If the United States had gone to war as Germany did--for conquest -a triumphal arch or something similar would be fitting and proper. But that not being the case, victory was merely the means of retaining liberty and a memorial to those who died achieving victory should primarily illustrate the tremendous sacrifice they made far from home on a foreign soil. I believe those who have lost someone near and dear to them carry that thought uppermost in their hearts. Pride in their success and glory we all feel, but not to the total exclu" sion of sorrow Your Boy's Friend--the J. W.

B. PRAISE WOMEN IN WAR Carnegie Hall was crowded with men and women last night at the thanksgiving rally of the United War Work Campaign. Billy Sunday's Campaign Choir and the Fort Hamilton Coast Artillery Band furnished music and singing. John D. Rockefeller Jr.

The latter praised the work of the Y. W. C. the Salvation Army and the other organizations at work among the men in the service. "An armistice does not end war." he said, "but in this case the terms laid were the same as complete surrender." AID WOUNDED OF OLD 14TH.

HUGE SILK THEFTS REVEALED BY RAID Five Men Seized in Fabrics Worth $25,000 Recovered. Rolls of silk, dress goods of the finest material, and other fabrics used in the manufacture of women's ing, worth at least $25,000, according to the police of the Bedford ave. tion, were found in a garage at 422 Keap st. by Detectives Kelly and Gargan last night. The detectives took into custody five men on the technical charge of vagrancy.

By the finding of the goods the police say they hope to clear up wholesale thefts of merchandise from piers, freight cars and department stores in New York and adjacent cities. The men under arrest are Morris Saderowitz, 31 years old, said to be the owner of the garage, who lives at 180 Grand st. extension; Harry Mitkofsky, 19 years, 45 Marcy Louis Lazar, 28 years, 33 Stanton Manhattan; Abraham Dickman, 38 years, 233 East 22d and Max Sherman, 21 years, 117 Essex st. Kelly and Gargan received word early yesterday that automobiles loaded with merchandise were taken into the garage and that at frequent intervals during the day other machines came and took away the goods. The detertives hid in a house close to the garage last evening while Police Lt.

Brown and Detective Windeburg took up a station in a. doorway opposite. Soon afterward a big automobile with curtains pulled down stopped in front of the garage. The detectives entered the building and arrested the five men, who, they allege, they found loading merchandise into another automobile.
