W The man who said it is a naval of- on
ficer. He stood on the bridge deck of j ur
the Henderson and watched Gen. Bill j be
Mitchell's bombers sink the German tr
battleship Ostfriesland. After that
affair was over he expanded his
thought. t ar
"A period has been put to battle- ; ni;
ship buildings." said he. "You can se
not escape that conclusion. Glenn a],
Martin, who built the Martin bomb- m,
ers which carried the ton bombs that 0f
smashed the Ostfrieland, is building ca
a larger 'plane that will carry a four- th
ton bomb. He says that the carry- m.
ing of a ten-ton bomb is only a mat- ca
ter of building larger 'planes. His
new four-ton bomber can go 500 miles ?j|
at sea and return." js
Such a bomber, the officer said, can iri(
? - sink any ship that floats today. Our jn
Pennsylvania, our Tennessee, any of an
our magnificent, new dread-naughts, 1t0
would bo as easv for it as a duckling | n]
is for a chicken hawk. The bombing 3
experiments on the Pacific ccast not
long ago proved that. Captain Mostyn
dropped a smokescreen down over
the Pacific battleship fleet and then
went in safely with his bombers.
Theoretically he got the flagship. His
attack was hidden behind the screen.
"No battleship fleet." said the speaker,
"could approach within 500 miles
of our coasts under such conditions,
even if protected by a fleet of aircraft
carried on ships. Such a fleet might
? might?be able to keep the shore
fl. :t of aircraft away from the invadei
. Not likely, of course, for more
a ; craft can be stabled on a shore than
car. be carried on a fleet. Hut such
a fleet might keep the air clear above
its battleships during the day. It
could not at night. The experience
of the late war is conclusive there.
Aircraft can find towns or ships by
night but can not find other aircraft.
'Planes can be heard at night but not
seen. The 'planes could find and bomb
the fleet while covered by darkness."
If it is impossible for an invading
* fleet to get within 500 miles of our
coasts, reasoned the officer, it is
equally impossible for our fleet to
get within 500 miles of the enemy's
coast. Battleships, then, must either
stay at home to be bombed in their
harbors or venture trembling out to
sea to be exposed to submarines which
will be lying in wait at the harbor "
gates. For submarines now have a
cruising radius of four months. Battleships
may still be built at a cost of
fifty or sixty million dollars each.
"But they do not mean anything
any more," said the officer. "When
they have been protected by 'blisters'
against underwater torpedoes and
mines and serial bombs that fall
alongside, and heavy enough armor
to withstand the 20 inch shells thai
will be hurled at them from the newguns,
and a topside protection against
t*? 41 ---ill -Itvtmm'oKln
aire rait, tncy win uc i iu.iv<uv?v?
There will not be room in such a hulk
for engines if the ship is kept within
the external limits prescribed by the
depth and width of the sea canals."
He believes that the congressmen
who witnessed this last experiment
will so reason. He dees not think
they will appropriate money for more
battleships. He even thinks that the
construction of the battleships now
10 per cent completed may be halted.
It is at least likely that careful consideration
will be given to the newproblem
before congress will grant
money to finish them.
t "If the other fellow's battleships
can not reach us, and we can not reach
the other fellow with battleships, why
build battleships?"
Fast cruisers may be built, of
course, for use as commerce destroyers.
But the speaker thought that
they would be unlikely to come within
500 miles of any enemy shore, for
there they could be destroyed by the
aircraft which w-ould patrol every inch
of the coastline. By withdrawing
commerce from the seas, except along
the coast, a country would only suffer
a loss of business. Such a conaiuon
would be inconvenient, but certainly
not fatal. Especially it would not be
fatal for the United States, which
could live on its own fat indefinitely.
Aircraft, he said, would make the
job of conveying troops overseas
extra hazardous. "We got away with
i?. by a combination of luck and German
stupidity during the war," said
he. But a determined enemy, well
equipped in the air, could make the
transporting of troops impossible. It
is not to be expected that in another
war we would be provided with allies
and port3 and bases and incidental
protection such as we were in the last
war. He agreed with Rear-Admira!
. Fullam, and Fullam has been arguing
for some time that the last overseas
war has been fought. I
"No nation can ever again transport
oops over open water in sufficient
lmbcrs to win a war," Fullam says.
If it is only possible for a war to
waged along the borders of the
i*o enemy coast, then?one enemy
ling up on his coast, and the other
leniy lining up on his coast, and each
aking faces at the other?then overas
war has become obsolete, said the
teaker. It has become a jest, an
lachronism, an impossibility. Use?s
