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:

"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.

Prof. Ilauscnbergcr declares that
tlu? day of flating of trayectory pieces
i.; past and that mortars and vertical
shooting artillery will be in increasing
demand. 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.
