WILL POLICE THE SEAS
U. 8. AND BRITISH NAviEo HAVE
BIG TASK.
Admiral Badger Urges Appropriations
Be Allowed to Make American
Fleet Big as Any.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Approprla-
tions to provide navy for the United
States by 1925 as large as that of any
country was urged by Admiral Badger
Of the general board of the navy be-
fore the house naval committee. He
declared the United States and Eng
land together could police the seas.
One hundred and fifty German and
seven Austrian submarines were sunk
In the war prior to August. Admiral
Badger told the committee, quoting re-
ports from Admiral Sims. He said
that the Germans had built 331 submn-
rines and that the Austrian underwa-
ter feet comprised only 35 craft, ten
of which were obsolete. On August l
last, Admiral Badger said, the Ger
mans had 119 submarines operating in
the Atlantic and 2S In the Mediter-
ranean. while at the same time Aus
tria had is in the Mediterranean.
Had the United States been fight
Ing alone in the present war. the adj
mirnl said. its lack of ships would
have been serious and perhaps fatal,
because 1t has been learned that the
navy must be strong enough not only
to protect from invasion. cut also TO
drive the enemy's navy from the seas.
He told the committee that the
country never has been and probably
never will be again. as well prepared
to build a powerful fleet us ut present.
Admiral Badger said the general
board had recommended, before the
armistice. instead of the three-year
program. rs recommended by Secre-
tary Daniels. a slx-year. providing for
the construction of II battieships and
IL battle cruisers.
Germany had SO capital ships in her
navy, including 10 dreadnaughts, whcr
the war began, and had seven other
dreadnaughts under construction. Ad-
miral Badger said. He added that he
believed work on the seven was dis
continued and material was used for
submarine construction.
The German gun that shelled Paris
was "15-inch or one reduced to nine,"
Admiral Badger said.

about 130 German civilian employees
at q conference in Berlin that world

tee investigating German and brewers
propaganda. These employees then
were dispatched to all parts CT the
world, 81 coming to the United States
to stimulate pan-German propaganda,
Captain Lester declared. He said his
information came from an unnamed in
formant, now interned in this country.
Between 100000 and 100000 per-
sons of pro-German sympathies, in
cluding many Americans, volunteered
before the United States entered the
war to obtain information of all kinds
for the German espionage system in
this country, reporting to local Ger
man consuls and propaganda agents,
Captain Lester testified.
The German propagandists landed
in the United States in August, 1914,
on the same boat with DR.. T. H. Al
bert, known as the paymaster of the
enemy propaganda system in this
country. and Immediately formed the
nucleus for German propaganda.
]. ]. Dickinson of Washington, for
mer captain in the U. S. A, Captain
Lester told the committee, acted as a
secret agent for George Sylvester
Viereck, DR.. Karl T. Feuhr and DR.. H.
F. Albert and obtained employment by
them in 1915 on his statement that he
had access ''to the back door Of the
White House," The witness said Dick.
inson succeeded a man named F. D.
Schrader as Viereck's agent.
Captain Lester also read a telegram
sent from the German embassy In
Washington to the German foreign Of
fee, September 9. 1914, saying:
Chicago Tribune friendly paper"
Captain Lester told the senate body
that Marshall Kelly, who was an EN-
ployee OF William Randolph Hearst was
sent to Baltimore, Nd. in 1915 as q
representative of Doctor Albert and
Doctor Dernberg to negotiate for the
purchase of the Baltimore Sun, but the
mission was unsuccessful. Later. he
said. Kelly went to Chicago, where he
became identified with the Herald-Ex
aminer, and in 1918 was sent to Mil
waukee, Wis, to take charge of the
Evening Wisconsin, recently pur
chased by Arthur Brisbane.
Captain Lester said that as a result
of request by President Wilson at {
personal interview with William Ran
dolph Hearst, changes were made il
the film play "Patria," produced early
in 1917, picturing japan and Mexico
in an alliance against the United
States. The witness cited this film a.
one bearing earnlarks of German prop
aganda.
President Wilson saw the play II
Washington early In 1917. Captain Les
ter stated, and subsequently asked MFR
Hearst to have it modified. AS a re
suit Japanese names were changed Il
Mexican names, said Captain Lester
and Mexicans were made the villains
although these Mexicans still wor,
japanese uniforms.
The play was suppressed In Canada
he added, where it was considered
piece of pro-German propaganda.
