Secretary of Navy Orders
Inquiry as to Cause of So
Many BreakdOwns
MUCH PERTURBED
BY RECENT SHOWING
Mishaps in Recent War Game Chief
Cause of Investigation Started to
Ascertain Weakness of Undersea
Craft-New Boats Under Way


WASHINGTON, May 2s.-Secretary
Daniels announced Yesterday that there
would be a thorough investigation con-
Quoted by the navy department to de
termine the cause OF the frequent
breakdowns of submarines in the
United States navy, and, if possible
find a remedy for them. The poor
showing made by the submarines at
tached to Admiral Fletcher Atlantic
battleship fleet in the recent naval war
game, Mr.. Daniels said, had strength
cned his determination to begin at
once such an investigation.
"Of the twelve submarines which
game to New York for the manoeu-
vres,' Secretary Daniels said, lone
was unable to proceed, and various
others suffered from breakdowns ne
cessitating repairs of greater or less
Importance, which took them out of
the game for varying lengths of time
The full reports are not in, and it Is
impossible to name which boats were
out of commission from serious causes
and which had merely the usual trivial
defects which must be expected at any
time, and which can be remedicd with
out any serious delay or impairment of
their efficiency. Reports, unofficial,
give q number varying from five to
seven as the total submarines effective
during "A certain period of the manoeu-
yres.
THE machinery of submarine is
very delicate. There is, first of all,
the propelling machinery for surface
work, which is subject to all the faults
Of an automobile engine, and can have
4
I'M addition the storage batteries,
which do not anywhere near approach
perfection as yet, and which are con
tinually giving trouble in their use.
Then there are the motors used to
drive the boat when under water,
which. like all electrical machinery,
are delicate and subject to sudden
hrcakdowns
Secretary Daniels notes that the fail
rre of any one of the elements dis
ables the boat Continuing he says:
WHIST . i ,ain most interested in is
i'm finding out whether these break
downs were such as must be expected
i'm more or less experimental boats Oh
whether they were due to faults OF
construction that should have been
remedied or to defects in our system
of reporting and making repairs. It Is
my intention TO Immediately investl
cate this matter and to spare no effort
to remedy anything which is possible
of being remedied
1.-THE plans for the 26 new subma
rines authorized by the SiXty-thir,
Congress are being pushed with al
possible speed, and ! am great,
pleased with the rapid and efiicien
work of the bureaus of construction
and repair and steam engineering il
this matter. Bids will be invited fo
their actual construction next week
These boats include two more of tn
new seagoing submarines, which We ar
going to try and make the last wor
in such craft. 1t must not be forgot
ten that all of the submarines whic
have been in trouble recently We're de
signed before 1912.

TO VIEW G. A. R. PARADE
ON HIS 74TH BIRTHDAY
Col Andrew Cowan, President Of
the Society Of the Army Of the
Potomac, Coming to Reunion.

Col. Andrew Cowan, president of the
Society Of the Army Of the Potomac,
who was a member Of the 9Th Corps.
which defeated Gen. Early at Fort
Stevens, having arrived from City
Point in the nick of time to save WASH
ington from capture, expects to OBJ
serve his seventy-fourth birthday by
witnessing the Grand Army parade
from the observation stand opposite
the President in the court of honor.
Col. Cowan, whose home Is in Louis
Vile. KY, has feared he would be un-
able to attend the national encamp-
ment because of Ill health, but he
writes Col McElroy that he resolved In
March to attend every reunion of this
semi year that he was in
vited to. If he had to be carried. He
hopes that with the attention of his
man-servant he will be able to go
through with the arduous pleasures of
the week. He will be accompanied by
his wife.
Survivors of the 9Th Corps present
September 2S will feel especially inter-
ested in the meetings as arranged for.
Il am particularly anxious to be on
the reviewing stand in front of the
White House September 20, which will
be my seventy-fourth birthday" writes
Col. Cowan. The 9Th Corps marched
up Pennsylvania avenue and passed
that same place in June, 1865. before
President Andrew Johnson.
He was under tWenty-four years old,
but he rode at the head of the artillery
brigade in command, and after saluting
the President he dismounted and sat in
the chair reserved for brigadier COM
manders at the Presidents left. and
while the veteran batteries marched
mast battery front. each one filing the
Avenue from curb to curb. 1t was a
great sight and a notable occurrence
for him. He wants to feel the thrill of
