He gave detailed reasons for his own
objections 20 the supposedly destructive
torpedo.
Finds Flaws In Torpedo.
Mr.. Roosevelt insists that the torpedo
would be OF little value in attacking
an enemy feet unless the enemy wou'd
consent 10 await the attack. Use 81
counter electric waves. he says, would
send IT away from It's mark, while a
dark night or a fogsy day would find
i, OF no value in defending a coast
The three most important objections
to the torpedo, as set forth in the let
ter 10 Mr. Carew, are:
I, is necessary that the shore s'l-
ton. or ship, directing the torpedo snail
at all times keep It In sight; ms
necessitates one or TWO good slZed
masts with flags CO targets on them,
which will naturally become splendid
targets for the enemy's guns.
IN foggy weather Il IS Impossible 20
direct the torpedo. Any torpedo oper-
ated by wireless can be put out OF bust
ness by tanning the air Il IS pos
sible for an enemy ship 70 drown out
or swamp directing signals BY others,
equally powerful, OF the same wave
length as that directing the signal.
Joker in the Bill.
Still another charge contained in the
communication bearing NJ. Roosevelts
name is that the bill now pending be.
fore Congress, in which the Hammond
appropriation is included. contains a
Joker. Il points out that although the
main body Of the bill provides for the
purchase after tests by committee OF
army and navy officers. il also contains
a sentence which explicitly provides FOR
the purchase OF one torpedo unit for
S.l7 200. No stipulation for tests is
made in this connection.
