Rear Admiral Robley d. Evans in the
January Hampton's Magazine. comes
out with q strong reply 10 Henry Reu-
terdahI and all other ''un-American"
critics Of the Navy
ReuterdahFs constant and repeated
comparisons with things foreign and al
ways 10 our disadvantage leads me 10
consider his criticisms un-American and
Il is in these comparisons and com
mendatfons Of others to our disadvan-
tage that / differ most widely from
him, and also from those who have been
in positions Of responsibility in the Ma
w Department and have been inhU-
enced by such comparisons" says the
admiral
1t IS almost beyond belief that a
man Of Mr.. ReuterdahTs intelligence,
and who knows the United States Navy
as he undoubtedly does. would deliber-
ately declare that the battle fleet Of
the United states IS in exactly the same
condition as the Russian ships when
they went into the battle IL the SEA
OF Japan during the RussO-Japanese
war
I DO not claim he says IN closing,
that the Indiana and her sister ships
are equal 70 the DreadnOught OF the
English navy. but ] do claim that our
latest ships are vastly superior, and 4
believe that every fair minded man who
has given the subject Intelligent con-
sideraJiOn will agree with me-
