More Dreadnoughts Assured

n NE result OF the great naval battle Just
~ fought in the North Sea. with conse-
quences SO disastrous to British prestige Will
make itself apparent in Congress- when the
Senate begins consideration of the navy ap-
preparation bill. 1t will be the addition of
two and perhaps three. Dreadnoughts to the
building program adopted finally by the
House.
Britain lost three battle cruisers in the
titanic struggle of the coast of Jutland. Ii
this proves anything, il proves that these
swift vessels. comparatively lightly armorcd.
cannot survive in combat with batteships of
the Dreadnought class. Even now accounts
OF the combat are too meager and uncertain
to admit unchallenged deductions, but the
strong probability is the Queen Mary. indie
fatigabe and Inyincible were destroyed by
Dreadnoughts, capable of enduring heavy
punishment, as we'll as of inficting it.
The result must be to diminish the vogue
of the battle cruiser and exalt that of the
heavier armored vessels. Swift motion is an
essential in modern naval combat. but, after
all, the object of lighting ship is to keep
atioat herself while sinking her antagonist.
Armor counts, as we'll as guns and speed
Instead of the two Dreadnoughts and two
battle cruisers OF Secretary Danies's recon-
mendation. the House has provided five yes
sells of the latter type. Even before the North
Sea battle it was regarded as likely that the
Senate would restore the provision for
Dreadnought constructions course urged by
