A LARGER NAVY
STEPHENS SAYS WATERWAY
WILL NOT BE THE MEANS OF
DOUBLING EFFICIENCY.
American Battle Ships May Not Go
Through the Canal to Exposition
Earth Slides Interfere with Plans.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Neutrality-suspicious. to obtain ap
preparations for a large navy will be
made during the next session of Con
gress on the score that the Panama
Canal is a failure as a great navy ad-
junct. When the building of the canal
was proposed it was asserted that it
would multiply the efficiency of the
United States navy by two, as it would
permit the quick transfer Of the Ell.
tire fleet from one coast to the other
Now number of Congressman, in
cluding Representative Stephens, OF
California, are coming forward with
the assertion that this multiplication
is rather a sentimental consideration
and that the only way to protect both
coasts is to have two large and etIi-
cIeut fleets. The theory that the
building Of the canal would make it SC
easily possible for the battleships to
go from one ocean to the other and
that a single fleet would do the service
OF TWO, in the opinion Of Stephens,
will not be borne out.
One evidence of this is the fact that
the slides in Culebra cut are interfer.
ing SO seriously with the traffic
through the canal that the plan to
send a great armada of battle ships
through the canal TO the Pacific to at.
tend the San Francisco Exposition t.
not likely to be carried out.
1t is clear that in the present I'M
certainty OF canal traffic no reliance
can be placed on the free or safe
movement Of the dreadnaughts of the
Atlantic fleet from one ocean to the
other, but further excavation in Guile
bra cut may remedy this situation
Stephens, at the hearing before the
House Naval Committee, compelled
the Navy Department officials to ad
nit in effect that in a time Of pubic
danger it would not satisfy the public
t. have the big battle ships assembled
in one ocean, leaving ore side of the
country unprotected Secretary Dan
