WASHINGTON, May 29.-Representa-
tive Gardner Of Massachusetts. who Ia
largely responsible for the present agita-
ton over national defences. IL trying to
find out how It came about that a letter
addressed by him to Secretary Daniels.
which was delivered to Mr.. Daniels to-
day. was answered by the head of the
Navy Department on Thursday.
Early In the week Mr.. Gardner wrote
"A letter TO Secretary Daniels asserting
that the submarines OF the Atlantic
fiotilla were a sorry lot of ships and
that In case Of emergency they would
he utterly useless against an enemy.
lie sent copies OF this letter to the
newspapers several days g with the
stipulation that It should not be pub
lished until Sunday morning. Forty
eight hours before the receipt OF Mr..
G%ardner's letter Secretary Daniels
issued a statement In which he answered
in n general way the charges embodied
IN the Gardner letter.
MIR. Gardner does not lay the blame
IN the malls, because the letter was not
despatched until this morning. There
Ii "A mystery here that Mr.. Gardner is
trying to solve.
Mr.. G%ardner's Assertions.
Mr.. Gardner charged In his letter
that tho submarines in the Atlantic were
IN bad shape and that at least six of
the twelve had to drop out of the war
games recently conducted BY Admiral
Fletcher and Real Admiral Beatty.
This II conceded In the statement
ISSUED by Secretary Daniels on Thurs
day. Mr.. Gardner directed attention to
"A statement made on May Z. Just before
the New York review. In which Mr..
Daniels commented on h passage OF
the second and fourth divisions Of the
Atlantic fotilla from Pensacola to New
York. adding that this was o n Of the
longest steady runs ever accomplished
by American submarines"
The Inference drawn from this com
ment of Secretary Daniels was that the
trip from Pensacola to New York dem
ons;ra,ed that the submarines were sea
worthy ard In other respects In mrs,
class condition. Mr.. Gardner charac-
terized this as "a totally misleading
announcement.
You ought TO have told the coun.
try" wrote Mr.. Gardner. that the sub
marine fleet in its long run was con.
voyed by vessels carrying gasolene and
other supplies and a repair ship"
Mr.. Gardner accuses Secretary
Daniels OF issuing "uncandid" and mis-
leading statements" In regard &c this
condition o the submarines of the navy

closed much interesting information thai
was obviously taken from the records
! Of the Navy Department. He Shove

vice.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1915-05-30

Mr.. Gardner then outlined the report
OF ADMIRAL Fletcher. which may be
briefly summarized az follows:
with regard to the four boats Of the
Third Division:
"G-i. Ca and Ga never have been
satisfactory in design and have been
at the navy yard, New York, since
last spring undergoing alterations.
c. 80. this vessel Is yet I'M
satisfactory In its material makeup and
its personnel are not adequately trained
for participation In manGuvres."
with regard to the four boats OF the
Fourth Division. Admiral Fletcher said /:
"The XII and the k-2 have been at
Groton. Conn. undergoing machinery
alterations by the contractors since
October Is.
The KS and KS, fitting out at the
Boston Navy Yard, were not ready to
leave that yard owing to material de-
~iciencies until after the mobilization
at Hampton Roads. nor were their crews
in any respect trained"
Mr.. Gardner charged that when the
Atlantic fotilla modified November !
last there was Just one vessel 1T to take
part in the manpuvres about to begin.
An overhaul was ordered on Novem-
Der 2.
At that time. according TO Mr.. Gard
