REPLIES TO CRITICISM
ADMIRAL cAPPS DECLARES v.
S FLEET is EQUAL TO
ANY IN THE WORLD.

Washington, Nov. 27.-From time
to time during the last few months
there have appeared In various pub
lications comments concerning al.
legged defects In the construction Il
the navy and particularly in bat.
tleships and armored cruisers. To
answer these, Rear Admiral Capps,
chief of the bureau of construction,
and repairs has devoted much the
larger part of his annual report to
the secretary OF the navy just made
public.
Admiral Capps counts RESPONSE
bility for the designs, such as they
are, and pays the highest tribute
to his predecessors in Office, declaring
clares in office. He declares that
that our battleshp fleet $ fully equal
n all respects to that OF any equal
number OF ships in any other navy
designed during the same period He
further quotes one of the dis.
tinguished foreign authoritiesp on
that point as follows:
The extraordinary high figures
for United States ships affords food
for thought, for both in ships with
high powered guns OF impervious to
vital injury at long range the
United States fleet. is superior to
any other in the world"
Recurring to the criticisms of the
battleships, Admiral Capps says:
THE chief construction hopes
that he has demonstrated fully and
clearly that such serious faults as
may exist in battleships and ar.
mored cruisers were not due 10
the arbitrary methods of the board
OF construction and repairs, but
were almost wholly due to develop
ment in material and the insistence
of officers Of certain military fea-
lures should be embodied in the
original design or, subsequently,
that changes covering the same
should be made and under these
last conditions the changes obvi.

why do republican leaders favor

THE POINT OF VIEW
Gives Humorous Description OF Party
Emblems, Then Launches Out
on Roosevelt and Demo
cratic Policies.

At the great Bryan dinner given
In Washington Tuesday night. Mr..
Dryan's subject was. "1he Point of
View" and his speech consisted OF
Illustrations of the difference in the
point of view from which questions
are examined. Before taking up the
serious presentation OF his subject
he referred TO some of the remarks
made by preceding speakers. and
apropos of Mr. llagan's suggestion
that Tammany tigers would make
better playthings for children than
teddy bears, he said that party
emblems, as well as political toys,
had their places. and hn spoke a
donkey.
The donkey" he said. is really
a better emblem than the elephant
for a party. This was impressed up
on my mind when / visited other
countries found that the donkey
is resident of every country and
that everywhere he is serving the
people, and that, too. the common
people. He is not an aristocrat, he
is patient, persistent and always
at work. The elephant ON the con.
trary, is only to be found in GER
tain latitudes and is seldom seen
except on dress parade
After dealing humorously with the
charge that the republicans were
stealing democratic thunder. he pro.
ceeded 10 point out the things which
the president had borrowed the
democratic doctrines which he has
advanced. saying: The president
has advocated railroad regulation,
which is a democratic doctrine, but
he has not gone as far as demo-
Gratis would have gone. for repub-
lican leaders are not willing to go
as far as the president does. He has
taken some steps toward the enforce
ment of the law against trusts; in
this respect he has been following
democratic doctrine, although he has
not prosecuted all the trusts and has
not recently made any effort to Sc
cure additional antitrust legislation.
Here, too, the republican leaders do
not support the presidents position
The president has advocated an In.
come tax; this is democratic, but
none OF the leaders of his party
have get attempted TO carry out
his recommendation ON this sub.
ject, and Secretary Taft, who has
been designated by Mr.. Roosevelt |
as his heir apparent. is not in favor
Of an income tax at this time. The |
president has also recommended ar.
as a means of settling the |
labor disputes; this recommendation |
was taken bodily from the democratic |
platform, but it seems to be as un. |
popular with the republican leaders |
is other democratic doctrines.
