THE GREAT QUESTION
BEFORE THE COUNTRY

A short time ago the Daily News
published an interesting article by the
editor of the Manufacturers Record
on the subject of preparedness and
the great need of the United States
for an efficient army and navy. Be
low is a letter addressed to the edi-
tor in which Daytona's esteemed cit
izen, DR.. P. R. Bennett, speaks
strongly against the policy.
Editor Daily News,
Dear Sir:-I feel that it is incum-
bent on every voter to in some way
make his wishes known on the ques-
ton of 'preparedness'-war, that is
about what it has amounted to in Eu-
rope.

preparedness. There is a propaganda
in full swing to commit this govern
ment to providing the means to keep

out squarely and advocated the plan
of the government sustaining these
plants as an encouragement to bust.

EXPERT SAYS NAVY
MUST Be "SHIP FOR
SHIP" EQUAL TO ANY
(By Victor Elliott.)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Unless
congress and the nation generally can
be brought to realize that the Ameri-
can navy will have to be ship for ship
equal to any navy that might oppose
it, it cannot hope to be in position
to defend itself. In case of war with
Great Britain, it would be in a far
worse position than the German fleet
of dreadnaughts is at present, bot
tied up in the Kiel canal and utterly
useless.
One of the foremost gunnery ex
perts of the navy is responsible fol
the foregoing statement He pointed
out that the German navy at presen
has % capital ships which, with th'
addition of the four in the Austrian
navy, would bring the total available

against that with which the smaller
fleet started.
The officer said that on account of
ships the American navy appeared to
have a strength much greater than
was actually the case. The eight
ships of the navy having so-called
big guns with an effective range of
little more than 10000 yards are ut
terly useless as fighting units, he said,
as a ship like the Wyoming, with guns
having an effective range of $4,000
yards, and greater speed, could
choose its own range, and sink all
eight of them without any danger to
itself
However, there is strong reason to
think that the guns on the next Amer
lean dreadnaught to be completed will
have the surprising range of nearly
% miles, and an effective fighting
, range little less than this distance.
This gun is now a secret in the hands
of a few naval officers, so far as its
details are concerned. Beyond the
fact that it viii be a 16-inch gun, OF
I-about so calibre. nothing official can
| be learned.
/ One ship armed with a battery OF
these guns, however, could not prevail
against a much superior number OF
dreadnaughts, and the only hope OF
the American navy, he officer reaf
| firmed, is to make it ship for ship as
great as the the greatest afloat.
