DEWEY CLAIMS

Admiral Resents Reflections Upon
Sea Forces.

DEFENDS AMERICAN FLEET

Washington. Oct. 7.--Defending with
Characteristic vigor the American navy.
Admiral George Dewey today asserted
that not only is our navy not n ~bluff.'s
but that he Is confident 1t would give
a good account Of itself should war
ever come.
The Admiral's remarks were called
forth by a statement attributed 10
former Representative Lands, OF In-l
diana, who. In a recent speech at Gin
ctnnatt, o., In advocating ship subsidy
Is reported to have said that those
Americans who are Informed consider
our navy a blur.%
The expression was characterized by
Admiral Dewey as an unfortunate" 0c-
currence. Declaring that he saw no
war clouds gathering on the horizon,
Admiral Dewey discussed several fea-
lures of the naval establishment.
He expressed himself as heartily Ii
favor of ship subsidy legislation and
made a strong plea for the continued
upbuilding of the navy.
Referring to the remark attributed to
Mr.. lands, Admiral Dewey, said that
of course. what the former meant was
that the navy would be comparatively
useless In time OF war without neces-s
sary auxilaries drawn from the mer-
chant marine.
He" continued Admiral Dewey.
Wants subsidy TOT our bnlpS Oh COM
merce. and so do l."
The Admiral expressed the belief that
ship subsidy Legislation could be Sc.
cured were IL not for the use OF the
word subsidy" which he said many
people do not like because they think
1t means to give something for moth
ing.
But the American navy is not quite
SO helpless as one might imagine from
Mr.. Landis's remarks" said the Adj
miral. We have fifteen GOLFERS and
several transports already In the SER
vice. OF course these would not be
enough In time of war and hope that
we will continue to add to that num-
:. II We were TO have a war, we.
uld purchase as many ships as wa
light need. We did so in the Spanish
ssar. II would. of course. be q great
deal better II we had them Already
The Admiral declared that this uuN
ted States needed q marine not only
for the value IL would possess Ia fdr-
nishing auxfliaries to the navy bat Ia
carrying the American flag in all parts
OF the world.
But" said Admiral Dewey. there
VIII be no war. and so long as we so
ahead steadily and moderately in add
Ing TO our navy, replacing the older
ships with the most modern type, thus
keeping our navy abreast Of the world.
no one will ever be able to say. like
Mr. Landis that other nations do NOT
regard the American navy seriously"
