SPECIALIZING ON
STRENGTH HIGH
NAVAL FLEETS

WASHINGTON, July 11-Allied
and American naval officials are
unable to form any accurate esti-
mate of the present strength OF
the German battle fleets, it was
said today by Admiral Benson,
chief of naval operations. Not
only are reports of what Germany
has built. or is building. conflict
ing, but every effort to secure
positive information regarding
the whereabouts and conditions
of the Russian fleets in the Black
and Baltic seas have failed. Tt is
estimated, however. that If Ger
many obtained all the Russian
war craft. and had succeeded IN
putting them into fighting condi-
ton, she has been able to increase
the strength of her high fleet
but twenty-five per cent. Admiral
Benson is positive. though, of the
ability OF allied fleets to deal with
the enemy should he venture out.
