WOULD TAKE FIVE YEARS
 TO MAKE NAVY EFFICIENT
Enough to Cope with a Hostile Fleet,
 Asserts Admiral FisI<es

Washington, Dec. 17.-F7ve years will be required to put the United States navy in the highest state of efficiency to meet a hostile foreign fleet, according to a statement made today by Rear Admiral Fiske before the house naval coEDmtEtee Tazc a1- miral, who is chief of the bureau Of board and a former president of the naval institute said that the navy now was deficient in aircraft. mines. scout cruisers, torpedo boat destroy CTS, submarines and in number of trained officers and men and had no mine sweepers.
 Members of the committee were par ticularly interested in Admiral Fiske's views as to the possibility of foreign aircraft dropping bombs upon Amer ican cities. Responding to questions he expressed the opinion that an at- tackins; fleet might begin sending its airships on bomb dropping flights over New York from a range of 50C or 500 miles off the coast.
 One foreign navy, which was mol named, the admiral said was more efficient than the American fleet ir gunnery. This he declared, however was so only because the Amerfcar Inarksmen had not been given ade- quate opportunity for practice. In speaking of the highest state of efficiency" the officer explained thai he had in mind the state of ascertair unnamed power whose officers ana men have inbred the spirit of mil itary nation.

LATEST REPORTS FROM
 RRIGADIER GENERAL BLISS Declare Mexican Generals Have Not
 Moved Their Forces.

Washington. Dec. 17-Secretary Gar rison conferred with President Wilson tonight, giving him the latest reports from Brigadier General Bliss on the situation at Naco. Ariz. where the po- posing Mexican generals have not yet moved their forces so as to avoid firing into American territory.
 The reports showed that the condi- tions had undergone no apparent change, although there was little firing in evidence.
 While the United States government is determined. if necessary, to open fire on the Mexican forces to compel them to stop shooting into the state of Arizona, it was learned tonight that no decisive action was planned, pend ing the efforts of Brjgadier General Hugh Scott, chief of staff of the United States, now en route to Naco, to influence the two factions to adjust the situation.
 Believe Hostilities Win Be Avoided.
 The general belief in official quarters tonight was that some satisfactory un- derstanding would be reached which would make unnecessary any hoStilities by the six batteries of artillery, three regiments of infantry and eleven troops of cavalry which have been stationed there by the Washington government to take defensive steps against the Mexican factions. The agents here of the Gutierrez government, to which CiHrNeAFa1 Afaytorena is loyal claim that he is preparing to move his force down the railroad south of Na.co, so that tlle can continue to besiege the CarranZa force under General Hill, with the l American border out of the range of the fire.
 Hill Warned by Bliss.
 White the reports from General Bliss to the war department were not made public, it is. believed they indicated that he thought he had persuaded General Mayterena to stop firing into 1 the United States. Until there is a definite understanding of the whole situation, it is thought General Bliss I has warned General Hill not to take the offensive which would draw the l fire of the Maytorena troops.
