day in both the naval and military
committees OF the house, With Roar
AlmiralS Badger and Fletcher OF the
navy,s general board before the for

again before the latter.
The two admir.ls told of the
boards recommendation for an cnor-
nous Increase in size and power and
a smaller increase in speed for the
battlcshipS to be provided for at this
session of congress. Because Of the
tendency of European navics to build
even larger ships and guns, and be-
cause there is reason to believe that
Japan already has under construction
a more powerful ship than has yet
been planned for the United States,
Admirai Badger said the board felt
it necessary that the American navy
follow a similar policy. lie said the
board had recommended main bat
tories Of - l6-inch guns an increase
OF % per cent in gun power over !9l1
ships and 4 speed Of 23 knots an hour

secretary's statement said, after en-
general characteristics of armament
planning that only the question of
limited facilities led the secretary to
alter the boards recommendations as
to the number of ships to be laid down
in 1917.
The board recommended the con-
struction Of four battleships and two
battlccruscrs, while the secretary
held that three battlcships and one
battlccruiscr were all that could be
undertaken in view OF the tremendous
prosrNln:Nn contr> cd ~ this year.
Gen. Sharpe brought out boiorc the
military committee the fact that the
army still is far behind in recruiting
for the 1917 increment OF the increase
OF strength already authorized His
statement was in line with that cf
Mai. Gen. Hugh l.. Scott, chief of staff,
| in his annual report made public to-
day. Gen Scott declared that univcr-
sal military training and service would
be the only solution to the recruiting
problem.

universal service question has not
been disclosed. 1t was stated authori-
tativcly today that the secretary had
read Gen. SCOTS report before it was
