II SUBMARINES ASKED.
House Committees Naval Report Is
Filed.

WAsHINGToN. Jan l6.--High praise
for the submarine as a weapon of warfare
Is made In the report on the naval ap-
preparation bill filed with the House to-
day In behalf OF the Committee on Naval
Affairs.
Whereas Secretary Daniels gave the
submarine faint praise ia his testimony
before the committee. that boLy says this
type of craft has demonstrated its ef-
fectlveness In the European war and that
Congress would be warranted in author
izing the addition of seventeen vessels
to the submarine fiotilla as proposed by
the bill.
The committee also speaks highly o;
air craft. The chapter OF the report deal
ing with submarines and aircraft is as
follows
I'm the building programme the COM
mittee recommended seventeen submarines
and last years naval act carried eight.
The effectiveness of the submarine in the
European war demonstrates IL to be a
naval weapon OF great value and the
committee believes Congress is warranted
| in authorizing the additional appropria-
ton tor this type OF naval war craft
| likewise demonstrated It's effectiveness
and the committee has recommended an
appropriation OF sl,000,000.
