Point Duly Considered.

TT appears that your naval experts
have duly considered this point in max
ing provision for 15z additional ships.
including sixteen capital ships, in a pro-
gram TO be completed within the next
three years. With your present strength,
such an addition will indeed place your
power on the sea next to that of Britain.
''I think it was in about 1906 or 1907
that your country attained to second
neck and neck with Germany and France,
respectively, for number of years.
Then the United States seemed TO lose
interest and fail behind Germany. 1t
must, therefore, be a wise precaution for
you to plan now on such wholesale
scale.
Notwithstanding some divergence of
opinion on the subject think that it is
quite safe to say that the lessons of
naval engage ements in the war have jus
titled the generally accepted division into
classes of fighting craft-battleships
heavy and light cruisers, destroyers and,
perhaps, submarines.
Il use the qualifying word with refer
ence to submarines because, in my opin-
ion. the submarine has not proved a very
important fighting factor during the pres
ent war. Perhaps contrary to popular I'M
preston the submarine has affected only
10 very slight degree the tonnage avail
able for the maritime purposes of the en-
tente allies. Indeed. the shortage OF
tonnage which has been causing SO much
inconvenience is [ Te in an overwhelming
proportion to the absorption of ships for
naval and military purposes. Notwith-
standing this fact the possibility of the
development of the submarine must not
be left out of account.

Construction of Special Craft.

In addition To the classes of ships
mentioned. ] take it that your appro-
priation VIII cover the construction of
special craft. such as mother aeropIane
ships. mine layers and hospital ships.
and possibly even naval colliers. Con-
sidering the large number of ship
building yards at your disposal, it
would seem plausible that you could.
without inconvenience. turn out the
sixteen capital ships referred 10 in
your program in the specified three
years. And II the sixteen could be
finished as stated, there seems little
ground TO fear but what in the three
years the other vessels called for could
he completed.
Is to the guns. IL would appear that
they would be the least pressing por-
tion OF your problem, though they will
have to proceed in taking form even
more rapidly

Possibility of Fire Control.

The possibility of the fire control of
ships in groups does away with the
supposed necessity OF putting very
heavy guns in large numbers in par
ticular ships. thus enormously increas-
ing displacements and Offering. conse-
quently. an easier target for the tor
peGo- Ny point is the well recognized
one that wnat is to be effected in n
Nrht - the concentrated volume of
fire which IL said to be possible now
without the close concentration Of guns
themselves.
Coming 10 the lesson of the battle
OF Jutlaud, the most striking result to
my mind MAS that the guns, and not
the torpedoes- were. generally speak
ing, the weapons that told. II is also
OF remarkable interest to note the
considerable period during which our
ships We're in action without being
very seriously damaged by the Ger
man IRE, hIch seems to confirm Ad-
falral F@rraS CUTS dlctum that the best
s-rrnpr is the return fire. OF our ships
The Marlborough was the only one that
suffered from torpedo attack and she
kept nghtins, and made out so well
'hat she was able 70 return to her
base at tw"nty-one knots
What the actual German losses were
by torpedoes We do not know, def
httc!y. though our destroyers were
dssn ning forward to the foe constantly
curing the engagement, and they must
Rave been effective in several instances
The point Is that IL was a gun battle

Wise to Consider Dimensions.

at would accordingly seem wise to
consider very carefully whether the
huge dimensions of the latest capital
ships are compatible with the possible
employment in the near future of high
ly developed submarines.
Il understand it is now possible TO
control the fire of ships in groups,
fact not considered possible a few years
ago. The belief in its impossi ibility was
the reason for the concentration of SO
many guns of huge caliber in a single
ship. thus necessitating mammoth dis
placements. If the fire of groups Of
ships can be satisfactorily controlled
that reason consequently no longer ex-
lists
The size and power of individual
guns. therefore, need not be reduced
and II the same calibers are retained
somewhat smaller ships might each carry
a reduced number of guns. The number
of guns Of any desired caliber in a
deet might remain the same as the
number of ships could be increased

Fears for Destroyer
Terry's Safety.

Charleston, s. c., July 14.-The big
naval collier Hector, carrying sixty
marines, in addition to her crew OF
seventy men and twelve officers, sank
off Charleston late to-day, according TO
a report tonight from Captain Hunt OF
the tug Vigilant, which tried to go TO
the Hector's assistance. lie was un-
able to say whether those aboard es-
capped
The steamer Alamo had been stand
ing by the collier to-day, having re-
sponded to her calls when she was dis
abled some sixty miles off here in last
nights hurricane. Static conditions
were such that no wireless report could
be obtained tonight from the Alamo.
The sea still was running high.
The Hector left Port Royal for Santo
Domingo yesterday. She attempted to
nut into port here when the storm dis
abled her, but, according to Captain
Hunt. went down about nine and half
miles from the Charleston Lightship.
CAPTAIN Hunt said part Of the collier's
supCrstructure remained above water
The Hector displaced ll.20O tons, was
384 feet long, and was built at Spar
rows Point. Maryland, In 1908.
Some concern was expressed by navy
officials tonight for the safety of the
destroyer Terry, which was off Charles
ton when the storm broke, in tow OF
the tug Relief, which was bringing her
north for repairs. She recently
grounded in Haytian waters.

Count julius Andrassy formerly was

in Austria as an advanced liberal and

Deserted in Fight.

Living in Bellevue Hospital a few
hour. before he died, after being shot
twice while attempting TO arrest two
runmen in an East Side tenement eel
lar on May 20, Patrolman Henry H.
Schwarz. of the Fifth Street station,
told his young wife that his partner,
Patrolman John F. j. Healey, had de-
serted him at the first shot.
Acting Police Commissioner Cooley
Yesterday announced the dismissal OF
Patrolman Healey from the department.
The policeman was found guilty of con.
duct unhecoming an officer, violation OF
the rules and neglect of duty in de-
parting from the scene OF the shooting

When the news of the dismissal OF
Healey was carried to the home OF
Mrs. Agnes Schwarz. the wido~. AZ

Department would tolerate coward In

AT the time OF the shooting, Schwarz
went into the cellar, and, according
TO the story told then by Healey, he
followed a few seconds later. Healey
further reported that when the hrst
shot was fired Schwarz shouted that
he was wounded and called to Heaiey
to get the reserves.
Captain Sweeney, of the Fifth Street
station, made an investigation. lie then
filed a complaint against Healey, IN
which he charged that when calieo
upon for assistance by Patroiman
Schwarz, Patrolman Healey faled ana
neglected to take proper police action
and did, without good and sufflcient
cause, depart from the scene OF the
shooting
In the captains complaint was in

Wireless Calls End
with Urgent Appeal

Washington, July l4.-Up to late to-
night all efforts of the navy wireless
to ascertain whether there had been
loss of life in the sinking of the naval
collier Hector off Charleston had been
unavalng. A series of calls from the
collier. stopping abruptly at p. M.
gave rise to grave fears for the safety
of those aboard, but officials believed
there still was a possibility that they
had escaped.
Five brief messages, all indicating
that the collier was in serious plight,
reached the Navy Department during
the afternoon. After the last of them
came at o'clock, saying that the vessel
mad settled to the bottom and was
breaking up. and making an urgent ap-
real for help the department was un-
able to re-esta5lish communication with
Lt.rleston.
The first word came from the Hector
at 2:O5 D. m. II gave her position as
fourteen miles south of Charleston. and
said she had starboard list of 10 de-
erees. Twenty minutes later she sent
out an as o S" call and added to the
distress cipher believe we are sink
ing"
At 2:25 p. m. the >. y. >. call again
was picked Up and the Hector's master
said his ship was in a sinking condi-
ton. Grew TO leave. Send help the
message said. No further word came
until 1855. when the following was
received: Hector aground ten miles
southeast Charleston Lightship. Break
ing in two. Rush help
The last message, ten minutes later
said: "Send help at once" Ii was ad
dressed to the steamer Alamo. which
was standing by.
As soon as the first call for help. re.
layed by the Charleston Navy Yard
wireless. reached the Navy Department
the big station at Arlington sent broad
cast an appeal asking any vessel in the
vicinity TO go to the Hector's assist
ance. Tonight, after the last wireless
message had been received, Secretary
Daniels went to the department and
sunplemented the efforts of the radio
officials by trying to reach the Charles
ton ward by telephone. No sort OF
communication, however, was estab'
lished.
Whether the wind conditions of
Charleston were such as would permit
tho collier's boats TO live was unknown
bere tonight. Hope was expressed,
however, that il those aboard were not
ahlo 10 get to the Alamo they might
have succeeded in keeping aAoat, to be
picked up later or TO make their way
ashore unaided.

found at daylight yesterday morning
on the surface Of Matawan Creek
Floating upstream on an almost high
tide. the boys form was first seen by
Will Clayton. one of those who had
kept the all-night vigil for the man
eating shark which had killed the
youth.
Clayton called to Ed Craven, an old
fisherman. who had been hunting for
the fish night and day ever since its
appearance in Matawan Creek, and the
two put out in a rowboat. The body
was within 100 yards of the rickety
little pier from which the boys had
been swimming. Drawing it back TO

line and moored the body from the

which the lad had made his last dive
