Admiral Knight Says Great
Britain Is a Possible
Enemy.
OUR NAVY ENTIRELY
TOO WEAK, HE SAYS
eff Attacked by British We
Should Bottle up Our
Fleet

NIASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-New
w construction for the navy should
be limited this year only by the coun-
trys facilities to build, Rear Admiral
Austen NJ. Knight, president of the
navy war college, told the house naval
committee today. If an adequate fleet
is to be made ready by 1925, he de-
clared, an immediate inquiry should
be made to determine the extent of the
facilities and to plan for even greater
building programs each year until
the United States navy is the strong
est force afloat.
''It is "A big program, of course
said Admiral Knight. but we have
a big country to defend
Only the limit of construction fa-
cilities, the admiral explained, had
caused the general board to fix 1928
as the date the American fleet should
equal any afloat.
"If we could get it," he said. II
would say we need it now-today, to-
morrow
In reaching its decision, the witness
said, the board had before 1t the
specter of a double assault against
the United States with enemies in
the Atlantic and Pacific to meet at
the same time. Questioned by Repre-
sentative Galloway, he said the fleet
proposed would meet any such com
bination that did not include Eng
land, and he thought it unlikely that
a combination against the United
States, including that country. ever
would be formed. Ask if he had any
reason to believe there was danger of
another combination, The admiral said
yes. and he was not pressed to
amplify his statement.
No Match for England.
Representative Butler asked whether
the sudden entrance of the United
States into the race for naval suprem-
acy would not cause other nations to
increase their programs. The admiral
thought not. for several years at least,
or until the American fleet began to
approach the British, for instance, in
size,
Asked by Representative Kelley
what the present fleet could do in
case of an attack, Admiral Knight
said:
"lf we were attacked by the Eng
lisli fleet | think the navy ought to
shut itself up in some harbor but
against any other navy we ought TO
go ou. and do the best we can He
WIS not WITHOUT nOpeS, ne SAID, tnat
victory might lodge with the smaller
force. 1t was suggested that war
with England was extremely unlikely.
Admiral Knight SAID this was open
to question, although the general
boarfs plan had not contemplated any
possible enemy combination includ-
ing England. The strange diplomatic
developments of the present war, he
thought, made almost anything pos
sih!e and he added:
Certain features which we have
heretofore REGARDED as features of
safety have now become points OF
danger. am not sure we will never
have war with England"

II Henry James, the novelist, died

Henry James was born an Ameri-

July, 1915, he took the oath of alleg-

such an attachment for the country
and sympathy with its people that he
desired to throw his moral weight
and personal allegiance into the Brit
ish cause in the European war.
The distinguished novelist, critic
and playwright was born in New

Henry James. sr. was noted as a
writer on ethics and religion; and his
Younger brother, william, was later

ample fortune, the foundation oi
which was laid by the novelist $

is GONE TO HAVANA
En- Route to State of

WAsHINGToN, Feb. 2S.-telix
w DiaZ who has been watched for
several months by department OF
justice agents because of suspected
activities in violation of American
neutrality, apparently has left the
United States for Mexico with the in
tention of launching n new revolution
against the CarranZa de facto govern
ment. Information reaching officials
here indicates that he hopes - organ
iZe and lead the troops of his native
state, OaXaca, and such other forces
in southern Mexico as he can gather
about him.
General Dlaz left New orleans Fri
day for Havana, where several MeXi-
cans whose names have been asso-
ciated with his in reports of "A revo-
lutionary movement, were under
stood to be awaiting him. Toodoro
Dercsa, former governor general of
Vera Cruz, and Gen. Aureliano Blan-
quet, war minister under Huerta, were
reported to be among them.
Although DiaZ eluded the federal
agents detailed to watch him. depart
ment of justice officials asid tonight
that since no evidence warranting
his arrest had been found and as
he had left the country, according
to reports, as Il private citizen of
Mexico and not as leader of any or
ganized revolutionary movement,
nothing probably could have been
done to detain him.
No Evidence Against Him.
General Diaz. a nephew Of the for
mer Mexican president of that name,
has been abst \, from Mexico since
Huerta, whor he helped establish in
power, sent mm abroad on diplo-
matte mission. Most of this time
he has spent in the United States and
although ne was suspected of being
connected with the revolutionary plot
for which Huerta and others were
indicted. no direct evidence against
him ever developed
OaXaca, where DiaZ is expected
to launch his movement, is the only
state that has held aloof during the
fighting of the past two years Led
