The American toll rates run from

NAVAL DISASTER SUPPORTS
BRITISH ADMIRAL'S APPEAL
Sir Percy Scott contended That Eng
land Needed More Submarines.

The recent North Sea disaster Is re-
garded as supporting the claims made
b. Admiral Sir Percy Scott in his
reply to Lord Sydenham few days
prior to the opening of the European
war.
At the time Sir Percy, while not un-
derrating the value of the battleship or
cruiser. urged an immediate increase in
the number of submarines. The latter,
he contended, were of greater efficiency in
maneuvers requiring speed and secrecy.
He said also that they would prove in
valuable in attacks on commerce.
The truth of his contention he sup
ported by citing the success of the Jap
anese in their late war, when, equipped
with torpedocs inferior TO those now in
use. they forced the Russian fleet TO re-
tire 70 Port Arthur.
At the time Of his speech Sir Percys
attitude was severely criticised by en-
nent naval experts of England.
