Navy INFERIOR
SAYS DANIELS
Secretary Answers House
Leader Kitchin.
TWELvE-INCH GUNS BETTER
EspIains In Letter How the United
States Ranked Third Among the
Worlds Naval Powers at Beginning
Of European War.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-How the
United States ranked third among the
worlds naval powers at the beginning
OF the European war when data on
foreign fleets ceased to be available
is explained in letter from Secretary
Daniels made public by Represents
tive Madden Of Illinois.
Mr.. Madden had called attention to
a statement by Representative Kitch-
In. the house majority leader. who. in
opposing the new navy program. de-
clared that the records showed the
American fleet was superior to that
OF any nation except Great Britain.
In reply the secretary said that the
strength Of a modern navy could be
estimated only on the number OF
dreadnoughts, and that according to
the departments information Great
Britain had on Aug IA, 1914, forty-six
dreadnoughts, Germany twenty weight,
the United States fourteen, France
thirteen and Japan eight. The United
States now has nineteen dreadnoughts
In commission, building or authorized,
he added, but nothing is known as to
what other powers have built or or.
dered since the war began.
In a technical explanation Of the
merits OF the thirteen-inch guns on
American predreadnought battle ships
and the twelve-inch modern guns on
ships OF the Wyoming class. he point.
ed out that the thlrteen-inch guns Of
the ships OF the Alabama class had
an extreme range OF 1850, or less
than half the range OF the twelve-inch
rifles with which the Wyoming and
later ships were equipped.
Summing up, Mr.. Daniels said that
while American predreadnoughts car.
ried more powerful guns than the pre-.
dreadnoughts OF other navies. they
would be useless against a feet which
included dreadnoughts. because their
guns lacked range and they are Of
slow speed.

What Were the Resultsl

The results Of Apostolic effort re-
corded in this book are simply OF
colossal importance and touch not
only the world Of that day, but cv-
cry age intervening and reach
around the great circle Of the earth
at the present time.
First in Importance: Jewish ex-
clusiveness was broken down. Moses
and the prophets became the possess
sion Of mankind. Every civilized ma
tion today has incorporated in its
legal system the code Of Moses.
Thou shalt not steal" Thou shalt
not bear false witness" are written
into the very commercial social and
legal fabric Of our time. Cut out the
decalogue from community life and
We find everywhere backward ma
tion, nations that are not in the van
Of progress.
A second result was the establish
ment Of churches in the principal
cities of Asia Minor at Ephesus, An
tioch at philippi in Europe, at Cor
inth, at Thessalonica, at Rome, the
center Of, world government. in
Spain and in Gaul. Each of these
churches was to become center Of
transforming influence and Of revo-
lutionizing thought and conduct
The third effect was the enrich
ment Of the religious literature Of
the world with the Gospels and
Epistles Of the New Testament, the
marvellous power Of which is vital
today and operative for the uplift Of
humanity where ever its precepts
