NO BArrLEsHrps NEEDED
SAYS LITTLE NAVY CHEF

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 10
mot single battleship should be
built by this country this year." de-
ciared Senator Jones, of Washington,
il discussing the naval appropriation
bill. ~ will not make any fight to
prevent one or two battleships being
built for several reasons. The most
important is that the naval board
seems to wish to keep up certain
program and l have no wish to in
terfere with that. But as to the act
ual value of battleships, do not be-
lieve that the construction of one,
two, three or four battleships this
year would add materially to the
strength of the power of resistance
Of the United States.
"This great war now raging in Eu-
rope, and for that matter, all over
tie world, has demonstrated one thing
very clearly, and that is that lit
lie submarine, costing perhaps two
or three hundred thousand dollars and
carrying less than one hundred men,
can with comparative immunity, sink
big dreadnaught of the enemy that
cost $15,000,000 and carries crew
of about 1000 men. When struck
by the torpedo from the submarine,
incidentally. the big boat becomes a
mere deathtrap for her large crew,
including the scores of officers which
the government owning the dread
naught has spent so much money to
educate and train.
"The greatest lesson which we have
learned in naval warfare so far in this
conflict, therefore, is the power and
effectiveness of the submarine. Yet
that is where the United States is
weaker than in almost any other
branch, always excepting aeroplanest
where it is weaker than anywhere
else. This country should profit by
the lesson which the countries of Eu-
rope have spent so much money to
demonstrate-the enormous value of
the submarine to harrass and pick
off the big fighting ships of the en-
emy. We should proceed to equip our
navy with a large fleet of subma-
rines and train a large number of
men in the handling of these boats,
the accurate shooting of torpedoe es
from them.
There is another item which should
be included in the naval appropria-
tion bill. This is a liberal allowance
for the building of more Golfers and
supply ships for the navy. regard
| ed it as disgrace that this country
had to charter ships flying foreign
flag to accompany our fleet on its
trip around the world because we did
not have enough supply ships and col
liers in the navy, or for that matter,
in the American registry"

He figured it this way: We shall see

of them going to California and COM
ing back through Colorado. Each one
will spend 81 day for thirty days.
Total twelve millions of coin left here.
Well, now, Thos. j. is not entirely
talking through his hat. We have not
seen exact figures for several years,
but about 1910, the money left by
tourists in Switzerland was estimated
at s34 100000 annually. And Switz-

Gunnison county and has not nearly
such good fishing. In the meantime
let us get busy on the Rainbow route.
