PoMERENE FOR CHAIRMAN.
Senators Likely to Elevate Him 4
Head Of Commerce COMMITTEES.

Washington, Dec. 2s.-The death Of
Senator Newlands may result In the
selection of Senator Pomerene, OF
Ohio, as chairman OF the senate COM
mittee on interstate commerce. He Is
the senior member Of the comlttee, but
because Of steering comittee action fur
years ago, which has never been ex-
planned. he Is not the ranking mem
ber Senator Ellison d. Smith. OF
South Carolina, Is ranking member OF
the committee, and II this position had
been gained by service on the commit
tee he would have very strong claim
upon the chairmanship. Senator Pome-
rene, however, is actually the senior
member Of the committee, having
served six years AS against Senator
Smiths four. and because q his very
active attention to commerce affairs
may be given preferment.
At this moment the Interstate COM
merce committees Of congress are
charged with unusually important du-
ties. senator Newiands' death occurred
in the midst Of an effort to readjust
the entire railroad fabric Of ttase !fns.ed
states to meet the conditions OF war.

in a major attack on Germany's navy
was recommended in letter made

Bradley A. Fiske and Allan r. Hawley,

The idea, the letter says. is not a fool
ish notion of fanatics in aeronautics,
but is a sound idea. based on the prin-
ciples Of strategy.
"AN Germany's naval eggs are IN one
basket" Rear Admiral Ffske declared,
"and those eggs are vitality essential to
her. existence as nation. 1t is my
profound conviction that we can smash
these eggs by torpedoplane and air.
bomb attacks. if we can prepare and
deliver them on a scale sufficiently
Igreat.
"whether or not the submarine has
been beaten" Admiral Fiske added, "let
us realize that the submarine Is only
one Of many naval weapons and that
naval strategy recognizes the fact that
SO long as the enemy's feet exists as q
hehtine force, so long as 1t remains
what we call a feet in being it con-
stitutes continuing menace. from
which an attack OF some kind may be
expected at any time. For this reason
no mere subsistence of submarine ac-
Itiyities should blind us to desirability
lof sinking or disabling the German
fleet.
