WILL ASK BUILDING
OF BATTLE CRUISERS
Congressman Stephens Also to
Fight for Four 0readnaught
Program.

The need for the construction by this
country Of battle cruisers of great
speed and fighting power. comparable
with the finest OF such craft in foreign
ravies, will be put up to the House
Naval Committee and the House by
Congressman Stephens of California.
Mr.. Stephens. who Is on the Naval
Committee. is convinced that provision
should be made for a larger building
program than the Secretary of the
Navy has recommended. Mr.. Stephens
wiz offer a motion in the committee au-
thoriZing the construction of two battle
cruisers. II is Acknowledged by experts
that the American navy is behind the
times today in falling to have any of
such vessels in commission. whereas
England. Germany, and japan not only
nave them, but are providing for more
Cavalry of Fleet.
The light cavalry of the feet" is the
way a naval officer today described the
vessels of the swift and powerful
cruiser type. The battle cruisers of
the leading foreign nations are nearly
as heavily armed as dreadnaughts, but
are built with the utmost consideration
for speed. They are not 80 heavily ar
mored. but, having tremendous speed.
of twenty eight knots or thereabouss 8,
they are adversaries to be feared in
that they can choose the fighting range
against q slower vessel, and either &C
cept battle or avoid it.
Mr.. Stephens win move for the con-
struction of four battleships instead OF
two in the committee and for sixteen
submarines instead OF eight, as Secre-
tary Daniels seems to favor. though he
recommended eight or more" in his
Program.
Mr.. Stephens, whose home is Los An
Eeles, and who Is one OF the most pronni-
mont Bull Moose in the House, is strong
in favor of greater nav. gal
Asks Larger Program.
Il believe We should have more YES
sells Of each important type in the
navy" said he. II am not only in
favor OF four new bsttleships and of
battle cruisers. along with an adequate
number of destroyers and submarines,
but I believe we should have liberal pro-
viEion made for auXiliaries."
Mr.. Stephens has a high opinion of
the American navy, but he does not
tSke seriously assertions that our navy
is superior to that Of every other nation
but England. He does not think the
American nPyy is equal TO the German
navy He points out that Germany has
worked night and day in upbuilding her
navy since the present war began five
months ago. and that even IL the two
navfes were on about an even basis
when the war opened, Germany has
forged ahead now
