ship Fleet.

Washington, March 26 Secretary
Metcalf today made public the views
of Admiral Evans regarding the loca-
ton of the armor belt on battleships,
which he has just received in leng-
thy report from the admiral on this
and other subjects connected with the
voyage of the Atlantic feet to the Pa
cific coast. The admiral says:
Judging from the figures contain
ed in the several replies from COM
handing officers which relate to the
subject. 1t would appear that better
protection might have been afforded
had those belts been originally placed
down six inches and one foot higher;
this is on the theory that the com
handing officer would admit sufficient
water before an action to sink the belt
TO within eighteen inches above the
waterline; but even this is open to
question for it has been noted that
even when heavy laden and in the
smooth and moderate seas which have
thus far characterized this cruise. the
ships frequently expose their entire
belt and the bottom plating beneath.
Ii must be remembered that even a
five or six inch shell tof which there
would be great number) could inilict
severe and dangerous injury II it
struck below the belt. while otherwise
the waterline, even with the belt en-
tirely submerged Is. on account of the
casemate armor and coal. immune to
all except the heaviest projectiles. The
fact Is that under the sea conditions In
which battles may be fought a belt of
eight feet in width. il considered alone
is too narrow to afford the desired pro
lection wherever 1t may be placed;
and the question becomes an academ.
ic discussion with certain arguments
on each side. 1t is understood that
on the latest ships. this question is Of
| little import, as the citadel armor is
but one inch less in thickness than
that on the waterline. and for those
ships already built, 1t is believed that
when the bridges are removed and all
weights which will be landed should
war break out are taken into consider
alton, the ship will rise to the six to
twelve inches which is believed to be
the maximum that 1t could be desired
to raise them"
