No More small Boats.

The admiral reiterated his belief
that no bo9ts % less than T50 e. SOC
tons surface displacement should be
built in future. The most efficient
German u-boats, he said were of that
size.
He urged also that no additional
fleet submarines of the l,200-ton type
be built until the Schley the first Of
these, had been tried out.
Representative Roberts, Of Massa-
chusetts. carried the admiral through
long line of questions to establish
his opinion of the American built
boats, approXimating the navy II class,
now in the British service. Admiral
Grant said the fact that these boats
had been able to cross the Atlantic
under their own power did not influ-
enco him to change his mind as to
the size Of future submarines. The
task Of submerging a longer boat,
such as the S00-ton craft, was deli
cate one, he admitted, and more com
plicated than handling the H-boats.

more than outweighed this in his
