LESSONS OF The LATE WAR
Experts in Washington Drawing Con-
illusions for the Navy.
SmOkeleSS Powder and Less Woodwork In Ships
Absolutely Necessary Monitors Useless
In Rough Water More Ships,

While important conclusions
have been deducted from the ex.
perience OF the navy in the exist
ing war which will be of benefit
to the construction of future war
ships, these conclusions tend rath.
er to emphasize facts already
known than to establish any new
truths, says the New York Her
aids.
This was developed during con-
versations have had with promi-
nent naval experts on duty in
Washington. These experts have
been impelled as much because of
a love of their profession as on &C.
count of the nature of their duties
to closely follow the war, and be-
ing DESTROYS of advancing the navy
in every way possible they have
written for and received reports
showing the performance of ships
and ordnance and of the different
features of vessels, from which they
have drawn their conclusions.
l have talked with Captain A. s.
Crowninshield, chief of the Bureau
of Navigation; Captain F.W.Dick
ms principal assistant to the chief
of the Bureau of Navigation; Cap
tain Charles O'Neil, Chief of the
Bureau of Ordnance; Chief Naval
Constructor Philip Hichborp; En-.
gineer in Chief G. w. Melville and
Civil Engineer M. L. Endicott, the
last named chief of the Bureau of
Yards and Docks. My talks with
these experts develop that the war
has thus far shown:
First-That the gun is still the
dominating factor in war.
Second-Tbat rapid fire guns
are especially valuable, but that it
is advisable to retain guns of
large calibres.
Third-That smokeless powder
is absolutely essential for modern
warfare.
Fourth-That there should be a
great reduction in the amount of
woodwork on board ship and that
that left on board should be fire.
proof, some going so far as to say
that woodwork should be eliminat.
ed entirely, its place to be taken
by some other substance.
Fifth-That armor should be
distributed over the entire ship
rather than be limited to the sec
ton where it's vitals are located.
Sixth-That monitors are use.
less for cruising purposes or for
fighting in rough waters.
Seventh-That the UnitedStates
should have a larger navy, with
speedier battle ships and fast
armored cruisers, and with coal
ing stations in different sections
of the globe, where men. of. war
can procure supplies and make
repairs if necessary.
For the purpose of acquiring
all information possible regard
ing the performance of ordnance
outfits on American men-of-war
Captain Charles O'Neil, chief of
the Bureau of Ordnance, has in
vited comments and criticisms
