While the American fleet as a whole
is stronger than the fleet of Japan,
the defense of the Philippine Islands
by the feet alone would be a very
doubtful proposition, according to
statement made before the house COM
mittee on naval affairs yesterday by
Rear Admiral Fletcher, commander
in-ehief OF the Atlantic feet, In re-
spcnse to the direct question BY Rep
fesentative Williams of Illinois,
Mr.. Williams, IN the course Of a
number of questions put to the naval
chief, asked him il he thought the
United States could resist an attack
on the part of Japan If the defense Of
Hawaii and the Philippines were to
be lift to the feet, operating in Ha-
Waiian and Philippine waters.
Navy is unprepared.
Admiral Fletcher replied that while
the American feet is stronger in ships
and guns than the fleet of Japan and
could maintain the control of the seas.
the ability of the feet alone to defend
the Philippines from invasion was, in
his opinion, to be doubted.
The hearings on the army appropri-
alton bill before the house committee

Amsterdam, Oct. 17.-HoogstrateL
was occupied by the Germans on Thurs
day. Strong German divisions marched
towards the Dutch frontier between
Cham and Meerle. where they encoun-
tered a body OF Belgian troops under a
captain and two lieutensnts which had
come from Antwerp. A fight took place
near the Dutch frontier. After a violent
skirmish one hundred Belgians crossed
the frontier, where they laid down their
arms. They had suffered much in the
last few days, and they were of the
opinion that Belgisns in isolated bodies
were wandering near the frontier.
At Breda hundreds Of fugitives have
arrived from places recently occupied
by the Germans. whose object is to
force the Belgian troops beyond the
frontier. The export of potatoes has
been prohibited, and the same order
will be issued in regard to butter,
cheese and pork.
The total number of interned foreign
soldiers is about 10000. Separate camps
are being erected for hte British sol
diers at Leeuwsrden and Groningen.
A large meeting Of Belgian fugitives
was held yesterday at Rosendasl. Mr..
Leclerq. of the Town Council of Ant
werp, insisted on the advisability of
going back to Antwerp. He gave a
guarantee that nobody would be hurt.
If the situation remained as now every
one would be safe. His speech was
met with shouts Of I'VE never trust

London. Oct. IS.-The naval eorre-
spondent of "The Times" says:
comparisons will naturally be made
between the loss sustained by Great
Britain through the sinking of the
Hawke on Thursday and that of the
Germans by destruction at the hands
Of our sailors of four of their destroy
ers. So far as loss in ships goes, the
balance is heavily in our favor.
Naval operations in the North Sea
lust now give destroyers more than
their normal value. Germany is espe-
cially in need of them, since her policy
is to do as much damage by raids OF
smaller craft as she possibly can do. so
as TO reduce our advantage in the great
sbips when the day Of their meeting
comes. Germany can very Ill afford to
lose destroyers just now. From this
noint of view her loss this week is far
heavier than ours. for the Hawke was
an old ship and not of great value to
ms In men the losses of the Germans
in these four destroyers will about
equal the number of our men who met
their death in the Hawke on Thursday"

ABLE TO STRUGGLE ON
TO HOOK OF HOLLAND
Wireless Tells of Disaster as
Vessel Neared Home Port
of Rotterdam.

London, Oct. 1.-THE Holland Amer
lea liner Noordam struck a mine be-
tween Dover and the Dutch coast this
afternoon. She was seriously damaged.
but was able to make for the Hook of
Holland under her own steam
Seven persons were injured. All Of
them are reported as members of the
crew.
The latest wireless dispatch from the
Noordam said she was steaming slowly
to Nieuwe Wsterweg. Hook of Holland.
The NoOrdam was on her way from
New York to Rotterdam, but had been
held up by British warships and taken
into Falmouth for the examination of
her cargo for possible contraband OF
war. Her cargo having been passed
the liner was steaming for her home
port when she hit the mine.
The first intimation of the Noordam
being in trouble came in a wireless
message from the Royal Holland Lloyd
liner Tubantia. which was steaming up
the North Sea to Amsterdam from
Buenos Ayres. The Tubantia reported
having picked uD a wireless message
from the Noordam.
The Tubantis herself had difficulty
in passing the Straits of Dover. She
grounded on the Goodwin Sands, but
struck lightly, and was able to get off.
She was uninjured and maze her port
in safety.
The mine is stated to have been a
German one. The Germans have mined
the Scheldt, between Antwerp Buth, in
Holland, and notice mas been issued that
all incoming steamers must stop at
Hansweert and receive instructions as
to the navigable lanes between the
mines.
The steam trawler Ajax. out of
Grlmsby. has been blown up in the
North Sea by German mine. Nine
members of the crew lost their lives.
A. c. II. Nyland, local representa-
tive Of the Holland-America Line, said
last night at his home in Glen Ridge,
\. J.. that he doubted the reports that
the Noordam had been hit BY a mine.
81 hardly think she can have struck
a mine" he said. "lf she has met with
a mishap, it is not serious, or | would
have had a cable message about 1t. |
have received no information from our
head Office in Rotterdam. The COM
pany surely would have informed me If
anything serious had happened TO the
Noordam."
The Noordam. which is commanded
by Lieutenant krol, of the Netherlands
Royal Naval Reserve. LETT New YORK

with a number of first and second cabin
and steerage passengers.
The Noordam is OF 1851 tons gross,

indicated horsepower being 1900. She
was built az Belfast in 1902. On her
previous eastward trip the liner was
! diverted from her course by British
warsnip and taken TO Queenstown,

servists were taken Oft.
