NAVAL POWER
MUST BE LARGE
Secretary Daniels Tells Congress
Committee That There Must
Be No Abandonment Of
Program.

United Press Leased Wire Service.]
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. - That
Americas naval contribution to the
international peace force organized
at the peace table must be equiva-
lent to that OF any other power. was
the word carried to the house naval
affairs committee by Secretary Dan
iels, according to committee mem
beers today.
Daniels, it was said, declared that
Americas force must be commensu-
rate with her great wealth, size and
prestige.
Signing of the arm1stice will not
cause any diminution of the three
year navy building program calling
for the construction Of ten dread
naughts and six battle cruisers, Dan
els informed the committee.
Daniels urged that the building be
pushed as rapidly as possible, with
shifting of the greatest efforts from
destroyers and other small craft to
the larger ships
The secretary reiterated that mon
who enlisted for the war would be
discharged from the navy on appli-
cation, but said these men would be
still kept in the naval reserve, sub
ject to call at any time another emer-
gency arises.
The original estimates Of two and
a half billion submitted to the COM
mittee were on a war basis and Will
be considerably reduced, Daniels
said but he declared he could not
say for several weeks just what the
revised estimates will total.
The proposal to spend 100000, 600
on new construction which will be
gin late in 1919 or early in 1920 will
be one of the estimates that will
stand, said Daniels.

DER TAG" COMES
FOR GERMANY
Her Navy at Last Meets British Fleet,
but 1t is Day of Destruc-
ton Of All
Hopes.
| [By J. w. T. Mason. United Press
| War EXpert

[By j. w. T. Mason. United Press
War Expert.l
NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-Today's
first act Of the surrender of the prin-
cipal part Of the German battle fleet
to the British navy is the most stu
pendous feat in Germany's capitula-
ton. 1t means that Germany can
never again become first class
naval power as long as surface war
ships of the present time are the con-
trolling instruments of victory at sea.
The ultimate disposition of Germany's
dreadnaughts, battle cruisers, battle
ships, destroyers and submarines will
be made by the peace conference.
They may be taken out to sea and
sunk, or they may be transferred to
the league OF nations, or they may
be divided among the allies.
Public opinion would nowhere JUS
Itify their return to Germany. They
are permanently lost to the great
fleet that Hohen2ollern and Won Tir-
pitt created. 1t is possible for . de-
!feated army to be reorganized- New
manhood comes to its growth regu-
larily in all countries.
But this isn't true of warships.
Once naval power is allowed to re-
Icede, its recovery has almost always
proved practically impossible. Dread.
naughts, which are the ultimate
strength of nation on the seas. re-.
quire about three years to construct.
The number of dreadnaughts any ma
ton can build in year is strictly
limited both by expense and by yard
facilities. When. therefore. the major
part of country's first line feet is
surrendered 1t can seldom overcome
the handicap thus imposed on its
future program of construction. The
only practical hope of recovery Is a
new era in warship designing which
would make obsolete all present types
and would compel every nation to
start afresh from zero on a common
equality No such prospect is now
in sight.
Der Tag" the famous toast of
German naval officers to the day
when they would meet the British
fleet, has come at last. 1t is the day
of ruin for Hohenzollern, 80 fond of
describing HIMSELF as the admiral of
the Atlantic" 1t Is the day OF de-
structon for all pan.German hope Of
overseas domination. 1t is the day
of retribution for German submarine
piracy. 1t Is the day of freedom for
the worlds democracies.

Newspaper War Tax
Is Now in Effect

The war tax on newspaper went
into effect Monday which places
every daily, weekly and monthly
publication IN the United States on
zone basis and which, it is stated,
will mean the suspension Of many
publications and the elimination Of a
large number of subscribers of the
daily newspapers. The publishers viii
also pay war tax on the advertising
carried. It is estimated that the
new law will increase the cost Of
publishing in the United States
$4,000, 100000 per year. The publish
ers have put desperate fight to
have the law repealed, the fight even
bing carried on in Washington this
week. They have also asked an ex-
tension Of one year before the law
becomes operative, but without sue
cess. Publishers contend that they
are already taxed on advertising
by the income tax law.
