WOULD IMPROVE
CHARLESTON YARD
Recommends Establishment
of Submarine Bases on
All Coasts.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE special
commission of naval officers APP
pointed by President Wilson, sent
preliminary report to congress today.
1t recommends the establishment Of
submarine bases on the Atlantic,
Gulf and Pacific coast and the reten-
ton of all existing navy yards.
The report considers the develop
ment Of the New Orleans station re-
mote because of its distance from
the mouth of the Mississippi Il an
nounces that immediate steps should
be taken to improve the Charleston
yard.
1t says that it is inadvisable at this
time to consider the possible devel-
opment of the Pensacola station ex-
cept its use as a supply base for sub
marines and destrovers.
It also recommends an aeronautical
survey Of the coast of the United
States and its possessions.

COMMISSION SPENT THREE
DAYS IN PENSACOLA

The commission on navy yards
and naval stations haadkd BY Rear.
Admiral j NJ Helm, spent three DAYS
in Pensacola inspecting the conditions
here, and were favorably impressed
with the facilities of the port for a
large navy yard. While the subma-
rine and destroyer base viii mean
some development for the yard, it is
not considered of such Importance as
the navy yards The establishment
of such a base, it is pointed out, will
tend to rehabilitate the navy yard, as
a navy yard, and will eventually mean
the enlargement Of the facilities here,
and probably the establishment of an
auxiliary base in the gulf.
For the past two years winter man
euvers with submarines have been
held in Pensacola, but only for a few
months. Under the new plan, if it is
adopted, some Of the undersea fleet
will probably be here at all times.
The first step toward such an ar
rangement as is provided for in the
report of the board is believed to
have been taken in the assignment of
Captain ]. l.. Jayne to the command
of the navy yard and aeronautic sta
ton thus placing these two branches
of the service at Pensacola under the
same officer.

house asserted their faith in Chair
man Henry. It is denied that he will
retire from the committee.
Representative Lenroot, of Wis
consin, urged a thorough investiga-
ton with competent counsel. 1t is
said that there is not the slightest
indication from any member that I'm
termeyer might be counsel.

Lawson said told him Secretary Tu-
multy and others" profited by the
leak, was not on hand, but it is said
she agreed to appear when she was
wanted.
Republican Leader Mann said he
personally did not believe that high
men in official places will be founC

that the steamer st. Theodore, re-
