DANIELS DEFENDS NAVY
STATISTICS ON SHIPS
Secretary Answers the Charge That
the Figures Have Been Juggled.
APPARENT MISREPRESENTATION.
Made As Result Of Statement Of Age
Of German and American War
ships.

In the course OF his appearance be-
fore the House Committee on Naval
Affairs Secretary Daniels was able TO
show yesterday that there was no
cause for confusion as to the relative
rank Of the United States Navy and
other navies because of statistics
compiled and published by the Navy
Department.
The charge was made yesterday by
small navy" men, particularly Rep
resentatiyes Witherspo IN and Hens
ley, that the statistics had been jug
gied" by the department to make the
United States Navy appear less pow
erful than IL really is in comparison
with other navies.
The statistics published by the de
psrtment contains q statement that
battleships twenty or more years old,
are not included in the compilation
of naval strength of any Power. yes
sells of that age being considered OBJ
solete. The Navy Department counts
the age of a warship as beginning
with the date Of its launching.
Confusion and apparent misrepre-
sentation have resulted from state
ments made as to the ages of certaih
American and German warshsip by
rating their age from the time of COM
missioning in the one case an authori-
cation in the other.
The battleships Oregon, Massachu-
sets and Indiana under the Navy De-
partment's method are ruled out Of
the tables of American naval strength.
while under the same method certain
German ships which the "small navy"
men thought were older than the
three American ships named remsin-
ing't the list.
In explaining that the battleship
South Carolina and Michigan have
bee removed from the dreadnsught
class, the Secretary said that the
General Beard of the navy did this
because those two ships are not up TO
the present standard in the matter
of speed. All of the latest battleships
can make 81 knots, whereas the
South Carolina and Michigan can
make only Is knots. The practice is
to designate the best and most mod
ern fighting ships as DIRE adnaughts.
1t was further pointed out that
even if the contentious of Represen-
tatives Hensley and Witherspoon
were accepted in regard TO battle
chip sire myth. they make no allowance
for the factethAt Germany has four
battleships and is building three
more, while the United States has
