GROWING SENTIMENT
FOR SUBMARINES

Washington, Dec. 4.-While the
submarines have been operating sue
cessfully in ideal fields during the
European war. the American navy
should accord important functions to
both battleships and submarines and
not sacrifice the hattleshlps for the
submarines is the opinion of Rear
Admiral Watt, chief constructor OF
the navy, who outlined his views to-
day before the house naval affairs
committee.
Questioning by members during the
admirafs statement developed a
strong sentiment in the committee for
increasing the submarine strength of
the navy:
Admiral Watt explained that the
navy department purposed TO let a
contract on December 10 for sub
marine Weighing i,000 tons with II
speed of twenty miles an hour, de-
signed ia stand under the water long
er and Ia have a greater radius OF
action than any other submarine
afloat
Rear Admiral Griffin. chief engi-
ncer of the navy, told the committee
of progress being made in building the
Notwithstanding system of wireless tele-
graph towers. of which the Arlington
and Honolulu stations are to be a part.

There Is still lacking reliable news Of

itogrnd says the battle Of lodz has
ended In success for the Russians. but
this statement is opposed 10 that OF
the berlin official report which says
The German offensive In Poland IL
taking It's normal course.
The fact Is that the fighting In thla
region has developed into such n
tumble that is almost Impossible to
FOLLOW II. The most important factor
from the allies point OF view Ii that
the German advance on Warsaw SEEM
ingly has not succeeded in Its object.
nor has it had the effect OF dverting
the ltussians from their forward
movement through the CarpathianA

which they were drawing q closer

Taking into consideration the case
Of Przemysl. which has held out so
long against the Russian attacks. mill
tary men do not look for the early fall
OF Cracow and are rather inclined to
believe that the armies Of Emperor

Battle ut sfandstIIl.
The battle in the west appears to be
at a standatill. The allies and the
Germans have attempted to take the
offensive ut different points along the
front. but as neither claims 10 have
made any advance and as both off
cial reports mention repulses of the
enemy, 1t Is evident that the attacks
which have been made have not met
with much success.
Under the title, -Four Months of
War; the French bulletin Of tho
armies is publishing IL report of tho
entire operations of the war.
In IL the explanation il made that
the French were unable to take the
offensive until the British army was
ready and that the advance into AL
SAGE. which has been criticized as bad
strategy, was designed TO draw the
Germans from the Belgian front.
This plan, did not succeed. IL says. and
the allies were driven back to tho
Seine.
