1t Is understood that the President

The President has tentatively decided to

Oiiicals have gained the impression

Capital ships.

Mr. Danicls's authorized statement to-
day led many to the conclusion that he
coutemplates asking for two battleships
again this wear and one, or possibly two,
battle cruisers. 1t is considered GER
tain that the Administration will not
ask Congress at this time for more than
four capital ships.
In regard to the battle cruiser pro-
posal Secretary Daniels is inclined to
think highly of suggestions for a new
type of ship worked out by chief CON
strtIctor Taylor and other officers at the
Navy Department. This vessel as now
contaminated. is to be n cross between
a battle cruiser aud a scout cruiser.
1t Is proposed that the ship shall have
a speed of 80 knots. or more than that
of the fastest destroyer in the United
states navy. and carry two, or possibly
four. II inch guns. Thus the vessel
would nave the speed Of fast scout and
at the same time be- able to fir" Il large
shell at long range. ON the other hand
the ship would have to b. very lightly
armored and could not carry many
heavy guns.
No decision has been made with re-
gard to this proposed new type as COM
pared to the battle cruisers developed IN
