ADMIRAL FISKE
SEES CHANCE OF
,TEUTON VICTORY

New York, March 29-Rear Admir-
al Bradley M. Fiske, retired, made a
remarkable speech at a large Navy
League gathering in the grand ball
room of the Waldorf-Astoria Tuesday
night.
With astonishing frankness he said
it was an "even chance" that Ger
many would not be beaten in the war.
and discussed the danger that would
confront this country if the Kaiser's
forces were victorious on land and
sea,
Not the least surprising part of the
veteran Rear AdmiraPs utterances was
the fact that a draft of his speech
had been submitted to Secretary of
the Navy Daniels and approved by
him. Rear Admiral Fiske said:
THE present war was seen COM
ing plainly by army and navy peo-
pie for many years, though we could
not estimate it's speed in coming, and
therefore could not tell exactly when
it would arrive.
1.-THE war itself has been going on
for nearly two years and eight months,
and the hard military fact is that the
Teutons seem to be ahead so far
May Be Able to Send Fleet
Perhaps few people will dispute
the statement that the chances are
at least even that, when the treaty
Of peace is signed, Germany will be
better situated relatively to the rest
of Europe than she was before the
war, and that she may bring about a
condition such that she will be al
lowed to send her fleet to this side.
eff Germany is beaten, our whole
danger will pass away for the pres
ent. But as the chances seem even
that she will not be beaten, we must
visualize the fact that her fleet is
twice as powerful as ours.
1.-THE superiority in ships was not
quite SO great as two to one when
the war started, but 1t was greater
than two to one in the number of
trained officers and men and organi-
cation and strategicaI skill The Ger
man maneuvers were not secret, of
course, maneuvers of such magnitude
must be performed in the sight of all
men. In fact the German prepare
tons have been carried on for more
than half a century with perfect op-
penness.
What are our facilities for meet
ing successfully the danger? The only
facilities are contained in our fleet.
which has not more than half the
power Of the German fleet
Must Enlarge Fleet Quickly
What is our decision? 1t seems
only common sense to. say that we
should build up fleet! as rapidly as
we can, especially those parts in
which it is weak, and more especially
those weak parts that can be strength
ened the most quickly"
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-03-29

1--WE are more behind in aeronau-
tics than in any other thing. But II
we will take up the aerOnautical mat
ter with energy and promptness, and
on a sufficiently large scale, we can
get ready by the middle of summer
to prevent invasion absolutely, and we
can get ready to prevent blockade by
the early Fall.
1.-THE battleplane is the most mod
ern instrument of war. More modern
than the submarine. 1t combines the
prime military elements Of power and
mobility in a higher degree than does
any other weapon used on land, and
if used in sufficient numbers, it can
direct an attack on fleet, especially
on light vessels Of a fleet, which they
have not yet learned so answer"
Where Our Navy Is Weak
These are the main disabilities Of
the navy, according to Admiral Fiske:
Lack Of battle cruisers.
2-Lack of a trained General Staff,
such as Germany has.
Slack Of trained officers and
men.
4-Lack Of aeronautics.
The distinguished veteran Of the
Navy Department continued:
1--WE are doing the best we can to
get battle cruisers. Congress has es-
tablished an office of naval affairs,
which is now being developed. In one
way and another we are 'rking hard
to overcome the first and second
weakennesses I have mentioned, but
it will take some years to overcome
them adequately.
I'VE are also trying to overcome
the lack of trained officers and men.
Something has got to be done to
persuade men to enlist, and induce
men who have been in the navy to
come back to it. To do this, tre-
mendous inducements must be offer
ed, or they will not come in time of
peace, as our experience for thirty
years unfortunately proved"
The meeting was on behalf of ma
tional service, under the auspices of
the Navy League Of the United States.
All the talk was Of what the every
day citizen and his wife could do for
the nation in time of emergency.
Practical suggestions were made by
Sir Herbert B. Ames, M. p, honorary
secretary of the Canadian Patriotic
Fund; Commodore A. Jarvis, or the
Canadian naval recruiting committee,
and Mrs. James Carroll Frazer, chair
man of the women's comfort commit
tee of the Navy League.
Proclaiming that warm sailor was
more efficient than a cold one, Mrs.
Frazer told Of plans for the knitting
Of sweaters, wristlets, mufflers and so
on, by women of all conditions. The
response from her hearers was such
as to indicate that knitting will soon
be fashionable pastime.

GEAR WANTS SON
SENT TO NORWAY

London, March 29-The former
Russian emperor has asked the pro.

Of his health, according to Petrograd
dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph
Co. The dispatch says that permission
has not yet been granted.
The former monarch and his fam
lily are said to appear cheerful under
their imprisonment. The man who a
few weeks ago was autocrat of all the
Russias spends most of his time work
ing in the little garden outside his
room. At the services last Sunday
in the church at Tsarskoe- Selo the
former emperor was the first to knee
when the prayer for the provisional
government was read.
