Submarine Strength,

0uUAdI1u6 0JTCuECQ,
Discussing the strength of the Ameri-
can navy in submarines, the Secretary
said:
when the relative sizes of the fleets
of the great nations are considered, it
will be seen that the United States
possesses a submarine f1otilla relative
ly and actually very powerful. Eng
lands fleet is more than twice as great
as that of this country, yet she has
but little more than half as many more
submarines. France has a consider
ably larger submarine fleet than ours,
with smaller navy, but she has in
the past taken the lead in submarine
building, and this lead England has
overcome, and we are on that road;
Germany, with a more powerful fleet
than ours, has many less submarines,
and Japan, with a fleet approaching
ours in strength, has only half as many
submarines. 1t is true the conditions
are not all equal, and requirements for
submarine strength cannot be based
entirely on fleet strength. Harbors and
coasts, to be defended. must be con-
sidered, and the United States, with
long coastlines and many harbors, may
need rather more than proportional
number of submarines.
LAS far as the submarines are con-
cerned, it is believed that ours are on
a par with any in the world The de-
velopment of our types has been log
ical, and in each new type the ideas
and comments of the officers and men
who operate the submarines in service
have been considered. In the appro-
priation made by the last Congress two
types for the first time were included
one of high surface speed, to accom-
pany the fleet, and one for coast and
harbor defense. In the building of two
such distinct types We are in accord
with what foreign countries are doing.
and submarine flotillas in the future
will probably be composed of vessels of
these two types.
Equal to Any.
In general, then. it may be said that
our submarines themselves are the
equal of any; and in point of numbers
we compare most favorably with for
eign navies. However, the Importance
of submarines in undoubtedly being
shown at the present time, and rapidly
as the submarine f1otillas of some coun-
tries, notably England, have been built,
this pace will probably be increased.
For many reasons We should undoubt-
edly, then, keep up and increase our sub
marine strength, building submarines
not only to defend our long coasts. but
to accompany the fleet. Congress, in ap-
propriating for twelve in the last two
years, Is following out this idea and
with the Navy Department and Con-
gress both working toward an adequate
submarine fleet. 1t is believed that our
concurrent progress with foreign coun-
tries is fairly assured

DEFENDED BY DANIELS
Secretary Declares Battleships Are
Paramount Need to Settle Ma
tional Strength Afloat.
U. S. Submarines Are Equal to ANY
But Plungers Never Will Decide
War, He Says.

An official statement was issued last
night by Secretary Daniels of the Navy
Department. in which he discussed the
United States naval strength in sub
marines. He said:
while the submarine is a most effec-
tive defensive weapon and has great
possibilities of marked development in
the future as an offensive weapon, it
is not believed that submarines in their
present state of development will de-
eide any naval war, but that the para
mount need of the present-day navy is
for battleships, by which the ultimate
test of strength will be decided"
The statement followed the publica-
ton OF an article by an anonymous
naval expert, who criticised the Amer
1can navy as woefu1ly unprepared for
war. The Secretary defended the or
ganization of the navy, and in particu-
lar the general board, which, he said,
constitutes in effect general staff"
