Washington. Feb. 14-AdmiraI Dew
ey believes in the Holland submarine
boat. In reply to a letter of inquiry
addressed to him by Senator Stewart
of Nevada, the admiral expressed
great confidence in the value of this
type of war craft for harbor and coast
defense. The senate has had printed
in convenient form the testimony of
Admiral Dewey before the house com
mittee on naval affairs.
The admiral testified as follows:
Gentlemen. saw the operation Of
the boat down off Mount Vernon the
other day. Several of the members of
this committee were there. 1 think we
were all very much impressed with its
performance. Ny aid, Lieutenant
Caldwell, was on board. He, could tell,
if necessary, what was done from the
inside The boat did everything that
the owners proposed to do. And l said
then, and / have said II since, that II

to my mind il is infinitely superior TO

kind With those craft moving under
water il would wear people out. With

that place. I agree with the resOlu-
ton of Mr.. Cummings. l think it
would be money well spent. I think it
would tend to keep peace. That is
what we want navy for. We want
peace"
Questions Put to Dewey.
Mr.. Cummings then said: admiral,
drew up some questions which
would like to ask you in connection
with this matter What is your opin-
ion as to the performance of the Hol-
land in the various evoiutiOns in the
trial exhibitions made off Mount Yer
non on the 14th Of March, at which you
were present.
Il think they were wonderfully Sue
cessfuI,' answered the admiral.
What do you think would be the
value of similar submarine boats as
harbor and coast protectors against
hostile fleets in time of war when
manned by crews skilled in their man
I egement and use?"
.They would be most valuable"
