ger of Construction Pro-
gramme Being Upset.
rFrom The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, Dec. Navy DEPART
ment officials and members of the
House Committee on Naval Affairs
scent trouble in the course of the com
ing session from large group of leg
islators who have developed the idea
that a recession from the present pro-
gramme of battleship construction
should be made at once and the annual
appropriation for the ensuing year be
devoted to submarine construction only.
1t is thought that the numerous sue
cesses of the German submarine flo
tilla in its raids on the British feet
and auxiliaries will incline little navy
men to the elimination Of battleship
appropriations.
Naval experts still hold that German
successes, while highly spectacular.
have not proved the inutility or inef-
fciency of the Dreadnought. At the
same time they are alarmed over the
public interest which such a campaign
will arouse.
On the other hand, the extraordinary
value of the aeroplane in war which
the European conflict has proved is
welcomed by navy men. They have
felt for several years that the aero
plane was not getting fair show. Now
l. is thought that Congress can be
trusted 10 appropriate generously for
this service.
