on them. He said, however, that no

General Funston OF the critical aspect
of affairs in the Huerta regime, that
a collapse might be expected momen-

might ensue.

WARSHIPS ARE NOT USELESS
High ofieer Of Ffeneh Navy Doesa't
Agree That Submarines Have
Rendered Vessels Useless.

Paris.-The Petit Parisien has asked
q high officer of the French navy his
opinion of the statements of Admiral
Sir Percy Scott to the effect that sub
marines have rendered useless ships
that float on the surface and have not
the faculty Of submersion.
After paying a high tribute to the
British admiral and saying that Sir
Percy's opinion had to be taken into
consideration, the officer declared that
for the moment and for the immediate
future he could not share Sir Percy's
views. The submarines at present in
use had, he said, insufficient speed as
compared with that Of battleships. 1t
would be impossible for submersibles
to join big ships in the open sea. He
admitted that the task of submarines
would be easier in confined waters like
the English channel, but their role
would be an Improbable one in the
ocean or the Mediterranean.
Moreover. there was as yet no
means of communicating with the sub
marines when they were under water.
nor could messages be received from
them. The officer said: I'VE must try
to increase the speed of submersibles.
