Assistant Secretary Franklin D.
Roosevelt is quoted as saying: 81 wish
the programme could be made larger,
but there are practical questions as TO
the capacity Of the plants. labor, and
other .hilEs which make It question
able as to whether We could lay down
more ships
Mr. Roosevelt does not give what is
possibly the chief reason. that, owing
- the present condition Of the Treas
ury. the aim of the administration has
been TO propose the mos. moderate pro-
g.amme which would satisfy the popu-
lar demand.
As to expeditions building: In the
first place, England b. working extra
shifts and expending about $2,OOo,OOO
more per ship, has completed in less
than two years dreadnoughts which or
dnarily would nave taken nearly three.
Secretary Daniels has stated that un-
der pressure certainly nine or ten,

For proper concentration OF fire
that is. so that each ship Of a group
shall be able to get in the same number
of effective hits as when firing inde-
pendently - the consensus OF naval
opinion Is that the strength Of d.
vision should be four ships. As these
ships must manPuvre and act together
I they should be sim lar 'throu -hou-
Hence at least four battleShips should
be built simultaneously. This applies
to battle cruisers also.

Our "Forlorn Hope Fleet"
The dreadnought which appeared
less than ten years ago, has wrought q
revolution in all great navies. The
practical effect Of it's construction has
been the retirement 70 the second line

The European war has given no more
striking naval lesson than the value of
speed. For lack of IT the Butcher was
sunk in the North Sea, the Emden in
the lndian Ocean and the squadrons of
Sir Christopher Cradock and Count
Won spec went down in southern
waters. Pre-dreadnoughts and the
slower of the dreadnoughts could have
won victory in none of these actions.
While speed is vital to both sides in
a running fight, it has marked advan-
tages IN any engagement. The faster
fleet can lombard or seize strategic
point with impunity; it can fight or
run, as its commander may will; when
fleets engage in parallel lines il can
steam away from the enemy's slower
SHIPS and concentrate it's fire on the
head of his column, thus destroying it
IN detail.

noughts "The Forlorn Hope Fleet" and
20 save their first line ships set them
at such mortally hazardous work as
forcing the Dardaneles.
Since we may be forced 20 call on our
pre-dreadnougnt ships for first line
work, il may be OF interest 70 consider
briefly their fighting value as compared
with that Of vessels of more recent de-
sign.
Inc essential difference between the
two IS that the dreadnought is an all
big-gun ship-that Is, her main battery
consists OF guns of the largest size and
of one calIDre tdIameter) only-whIle
the pre-dreadnough is a mixed bat
terry" ship, carrying heavy guns OF sew
eral canUre. thus, the dreadnought
fennsyvania has main battery OF
twe!ye Lunch guns and the battelshlp
Kansas carries tour lZ-Incn, eIsnt
S-ineh and twelve finch guns. Both
ships have secondary battery oil
nghter guns for defence against tor
pedO attack.
Again, the dreadnought has a greater
speed than the battleshIp. Our most
recent vessels of the former type have
a speed of twenty-one knots, as against
eighteen and iive-tenths for the latest
battleships. The speed OF the British
queen Elizabeth ciass IS twenty-five
knots, but TINS increase is gained by
sacrinces IN the thickness OF her beiJ
armor and possibly IN the NUMBER OF
guns carried. Inns principle lessen
ing the amor and armament to gain
speed extended in that fast dread
nought, the UaLC4e cruiser. One OF them,
the Gutish Queen Mary, mas d speed OF
Lhlrty- HnOts.
The advantage of large guns is that
they can pierce armor at the great bat
tie range now possible. In the running
fight on the Dogserbank, in the North
Sea, last January the British battle
cruisers began to hit at 1900 yards
$40 miles,. Big projectiles also have a
greater shocking effect than an equal
weight of smaller ones, and the error
in measuring the range decreases with
increased calibre. Inc l5-inch guns
mounted on eight of our oldest battle
ships could not penetrate modern bat
tleships armor at range exceeding
5000 yards.
A further fact worth noting is that
in dreadnought like the Pennsylvania
the main battery is located in but four
turrets, while IN pre-dreadnought like
the Kansas the main and intermediate
batteries are dispersed all over the
ship. TO disable some of the formers
heavy guns one of four places must be
effectively hit, while the batteries of
the Kansas present so large a target
that almost any shot striking her would
be likely not only to injure a gun, but
to Kill and wound men, thus tending 10

crew.

THREE CAUGHT FOR
 THEFT OF BICYCLE
Two Men Sent to Jail For Twenty DayS-B. R. DObbs Fined
 in Court.

Much mystery surrounds the theft of a bicycle from one Walter Wisk, of Broad street. This morning two men, Stanislaw Galanski and William JarVlSkoSk1, were arraigned in court charged with the theft of this bicycle and both were sent to jail for twenty days. An hour later one Krank kosk1, alias Loranski, was arrested by Officers Malone and Richardson, charged With stealing the same bicycle. According to the evidence the wheel was stolen and then passed successively through the hands of each of the accused and each took their share of the money obtained by it's sale to an unsuspecting purchaser.
 Former Judge William F. Mangan made his first appearance in over two years as a lawyer for the defense in court this morning, when he repre- scented B. R. Dobbs, who was arrested by Officer King in Longley's restau- rant last evening. The states evi- dence showed that Dobbs entered the place and asked for the manager. He was told to wait and soon became abusive, swearing and using vile lan- guage and attempting to beat the cashier, Morris Kopolowitz.
 DobbS denied the accusation and said the restaurant people were sore because on several occasions he had taken trade from them. He denied being drunk and said he had two beers and an ice cream soda during the afternoon. Attorney Mangan flayed the states witnesses, Including Officer King and Officer Richardson, severely but the court decided that his client was guilty and imposed fine of $5 and costs.

 BARDO AT HEARING
Local Senator's Locomotive Bill Oc- casiOns Hot Time In Hartford-

Senator George w.

Alcorn grilled General Manager Bardo, of the New Haven road, when he said the company could not afford to make the change and that time would be lost if they did.
 States Attorney Acorn and E. F. Fuller of Suffield, brought, out the fact that between Suffield and Wind sor Locks the engines are run tender first and during the past six months there have been two bad accidents. In opposition to running the locomo lives tender first between New Britain and Hartford Senator Klett and Rep- resentative F. w. Schultz appeared
 General Manager Bardo objected to any change on the ground that It would be too expensive. It was brought out however that only tWen- ty out of 400 locom motives in the state are run backwards. Regarding safety the manager declared that on the main line locomotives can be run backward just as safely as forward and it reduces the running time ten minutes. he said. He was asked then, why 1t was that when this is done the time between here and Hartford is not lessened when the locom otive goes that way.

gether and nobody has stood guard over them.
 "They are perfectly harmless now. All the Indians are satisfied. The whites are over their scare, and there will be no more trouble from this band of Indians. These Indians are just children, easy to alarm and some times hard to appease. They had worked themselves up to pitch where they were getting very danger ous. They were attempting to get large band of Navajos to join them in an outbreak. Where they were camped in the wild, broken country near the Grand Canyon they would have been mighty hard to dislodge. It would have taken large force of cavalry, two regiments, probably, to subdue them, and it would have cost the government $25,000, just to get the soldiers in here.'
 None of the four Indians talks Eng fish. Through an interpreter Tse-Ne- Cat, or Hatch, said he was not guilty if any crime. When asked about the Mevican he is accused of killing, he said: "The Mexican was my friend. We camped together. I did not kill him. Why should I kill my friend ?''
