rr WORK ON WAR SHIPS SHOULD BE RUSHED ? New Construction Should Be; Limited Only by Facilities to Build I ! NEED FLEET NOW FOR NATION'S SAFE i V Views of Admiral Knight Be fore House Naval Committt c c?Conrpli m e n t s Daniels. Washington.?New construction for tr Navy should be limited this year i- y by the country's facilities to i i d. Rear Admiral Austin M. K yht, president of the Navy War College. told the House Naval Committee. If an adequate fleet is to bel iv.ade ready by 1925, lie declared, an immediate inquiry should bo made to lern.ine the extent of these facili-j t'(s and to plan for even greater' building programs each year until tho! U iteil States Navy is the strongest' ,'i vo a float. "11 is a big program, of course," sa 1 Admiral Knight, '"hut we nave a V _ country to defend." Only the limits of construction fa? itics, the admiral explaine<l, had ^ used the general board to fix 1925 Ute date the American fleet should (v.aul any afloat. "If we could get it," he added, "I v ould say we need it now, today, toil a rrow." In reaching its decision, the witness said, tlie board had before it the spectre of a double assault against th.~ United States, with enemies in the Atlantic and Pacific to meet at the s.mo time. He said the fleet pro] -sod would meet any such combination that did not include England, and ho thought it unlikely that a combiration against the United States inc uding that country ever would be foimed. Asked if he had any reaosn t-v believe that thorn was <lnnf*nr fr?l Brother coiviibnation, the admiral said I "yes," hut he was not pressed to amplify his statement. Rcprcstnattive Butler asked whether the sudden entrance of the United States into the race for naval supremacy would cause other Nations to increase their program. The admiral thought not, for several years at least, or until the American fleet began to approach the British, for instance, in size. Asked by Representative Kelly what the present fleet could do in, case o4' an attack. Admiral Knight! K!' ill * "If \vc wore attacked by the Eng-( ]i>h fleet, I think the Navy ought to shi;*, itself up in some harbor, but against any other Navy, wo ought to go out and do the best we can." He i was not without hopes, he said, that victory might lodge with the smaller iVi oe. It was suggested that war with Kiglan-d was extremely unlikely. Ad-1 r.iiral Knight raid this was open to -question, although the general boards J plans bad not contomplted any pos- j viblo enemy combination including [ England. The strange diplomatic de-j volopments of the present war, he, thought, made almost anything possible, and added: r?7n I LU HARDW We Carry a full SHELF HARDWARE, CARPENTER'S TOOL! ( GLASS AND CROCKE | t. ENAMEL WARE IN S I KETTLES AND DISH ! WE CARRY IN STOCK I AVERY'S, BLUNTS'ANI "Certain features, which 'we have) heretofore regarded as features of! safety, have now become points of ('.anger. I am not so sure we will never have a war with England." Admiral Knight said the battle cruisers and scouting craft were Die1 things needed vitally to make the' present fleet of dreadnoughts offer-j tive. The facilities of the country! should be strained immediately, he. said, to provide at least six battle! ruisora and eight scouts. Nine battle cruisers wouM be better, he | thought, but wi'h . ix an.d :t.~>,000 ad-j litione1 mi the Navy would be hi j ficient she;),' within two or thrc< | years, within iho limits of its num-i hers. The worid produced, he added, no better ships officers or men than those in the American fleet. He said Secretary Daniels had done much for, the War College, more than any of h'..-. predecessors, and that the institu-j ! tioa was boir.tr brought to a hi?rh! j st:it-> of usefulness, ?iot in preparing] ' v\ir plans, but in training tho men I who did prepare tho plans and those< who exercised high commands. ! As a part of the 11)17 program the Admiral urged that Culebra Island, ofi the eastern end of Porto Rico and! the farthest outpost on the road from Kuropc to the Caribbean, should be made an impregnable fortress where the fleet might be based. Guam, in < the Pacific, he thought, should be similarly equipped, and each base should have a huge floating drydock. Admiral Knight disagreed with l*ie suggestion that the coasts of the United States could be rendered se-! cure from attack by establishing a chain of submarines along tho shores. "No submarine defense of our coasts," he said, "would prevent a powerful and determined enemy from pushing home liis attack." "Do you see any reason," Repre-; sentative Butler demanded, "why we should hasten construction of the! fleet which you did not see two years ago?" "Yes," answered the admiral. "Do you know of anything you cannot tell us which causes you to take that view?" "Nothing definite." "Isn't this true, Admiral ?" continued Representative Butler, "that if we are going to have a naval defense that is a sure defense, we must have' the biggest Navy afloat?" "It is." Representative Hensley asked if the witness did not believe that great ' opportunity for international disarmament for limitation of armaments would not come at the close of the European war. Admiral Knight suid( he did not, although he hoped for such a movement and would gladly go as an American delegate to a disarmament Congress.

This is because the na-; ture of modern warfare has almost done away with the necessity for shooting horizontally, it being possible to reach horizontal trench lines only by shots from cannon shooting vertically.' The cannon of the future, he be-. lieves, will be able to penetrate the strongest fortified shellers and nullify "England's shimmering ocean armament, the old proud wall which for centuries has protected it from the continent." ) The forts of the future, he belives, will differ vastly from those of the present. The inventor pays his compliments to American amunition, which he says is infinitely better torluy than at the beginning of the war.
