Britten Urges the Sale
of Two U. S. Warships
for Economic Reasons

In statement issued by Representative
Britten OF Chicago, a republican member
OF the House naval affairs committee.
business reasons for the sale to Greece
Of the battleships Mississippi and Idaho
are given. Mr.. Britten also states that
there is no question that Greece wants
the ships to prevent Turkey from send
ing troops across the sea from Asiatic
Turkey in case Of war between the two
countries.
IF members Of Congress will treat the
sale of these ships from a purely eco
nomlc standpoint they will Immediately
decide that an increase in our navy Of
more than 100 per cent as far as these
two ships are concerned can be effected
without the expenditure OF one dollar by
our government, and, while the vote on
the question will be close, look to see
the small navy men routed by approxi-
mately the same majority as occurred on
the recent vote for two-battleship pro-
gram" said Mr.. Britten.
Would Get Superior Ship.
1.-THE superiority Of super dreadnoueht
to be constructed out of the funds re-
ceived from the sale Of the Idaho and
Mississippi cannot be questioned from
any angle, while its economy is also be-
yond dispute.
The complement of the Idaho and
Mississippi is about TOO men each, while

would require about 500 men, showing a
saving Of 600 men, including two sets Of
officers.
"Battleship No. 40 recently authorized.
will carry twelve fourteen-inch guns,
while the Idaho and Mississippi each car
~ four twelve-inch guns. or a total of
eight large caliber guns, SO that in heavy
guns and muzzle velocity the dreadnought
represents an overwhelming superiority.
Deadly Craft Possible.
The dreadnought armor being much
heavier than that Of the Idaho and Mis-
issippi and its guns being SO much larger,
its effectiveness. both defensively and Of
fensively, cannot be questioned. and one
dreadnought could sink a half dozen Ida
hos by selecting its battle range and firing
at will as though at target practice.
1.-THE new dreadnought, with twenty-one
knots speed as against seventeen knots
for the smaller ships could choose her
position and make the range whatever
desired on account Of her superior speed
armament and guns, and in time Of battle
would take her place at the head of our
modern ships. which are now too fast for
such comp any as the ships We are at
tempting to dispose of.
Because Of the large size of a dread
nought Its platform is steadier, its fire
more effective. and she is less affected by

Cave Becomes Suspicious.

After becoming suspicious Cave said he
questioned the man who stood guard over
him. and was finally told he was talking
too much and was advised by his guard
to disappear If he valued his life very
much.
Cave says he refused to leave the place
alone and insisted that the man who was
left to guard him accompany him to q
place Of safety. The man refused, he
said. and he compelled him to accompany
him at the point of a pistol.
Complaint of the affair was made to
Sheriff Hardy and early this morning
the sheriff went across the river into
Calvert county, arrested two men and
took them to Jail at Upper Marlboro
where they were locked up.
Later the sheriff and Mr.. Cave called
at police headquarters, where Inspector
Boyle listened to the story and detailed
Detective Bur,ingame to accompany the
sheriff to Takoma Park and assist him
in conducting an investigation there
Discussing the affair with Inspector
Boyle, Cave declared he had not the
slightest idea why he had been selected
as possible victim Of supposed con-
spiracy. He suggested that the taking
of his automobile seemed to be the only
reason for the affair.
Cave turned over to Sheriff Hardy a
piece Of rope he alleges was intended for
use in his execution. He declared one of
the men alleged to have been involved in
the affair had inquired of a countryman
