Dreadnaughts and Two
More Golfers.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4-Secretary
of the Navy, George Won l.. Meyer, in
his annual report, submitted to the
president today, recommended that
Congress provide for building two
new battleships and two GOLFERS at its
coming session He explained the pol
icy of building two new hattleships
each year, not to increase the navy,
but to keep it of an even strength Of
about forty battleships. those over
worthless because of progress in meth
DDS of naval warfare.
The recommendation for a contin-
uing policy" he said, which will give
us the feet desired is made with a
due regard for the almost worldwide
movement for the settlement of inter
national disputes by arbitration, in
which movement our country has TAX
en- a foremost part. The economical
system of a great commercial nation
is SO delicately balanced that even a
threat of war is very disturbing and
harmful, while a war with any other
great power would cause, incalculable
damage, and it is more necessary now
than ever before that We should be
fully prepared, and that every other
power should understand that, while
seeking peace, we are prepared for
war;
What the Navy Needs.
Secretary Meyer declared that the
navy is in need of certain special
types of vessels. particularly battle
supervisors, scouts, destroyers, tend
ers to destroyers, repair ships, hospi
tai ships, tenders to submarines and
| gunboats. He said that appropria
! tons should be voted for their con
struction.
| Satisfaction was expressed with the
progress made in aviation by the Ma
Wy aviators. The Secretary declared he
expects this branch of the service tc
become an important one, eventually
each battleship being equipped with
aeroplanes for scouting purposes.
The report spoke of Secretary Mey
er's visit to England and contained
several recommendations as the result
of his official study of conditions il

The plan Of abolishing some of the
