MAYO REGRETS TO
SEE WARSHIPS AS
TROOP CARRIERS
Admiral Pays Tribute to Men
Who Trained Fighters
For Duty Overseas

Philadelphia, Jan. 1S.-Admiral
Henry T. Mayo, commander of the
American Atlantic fleet throughout
its active service in war, speaking
last night before the fourteenth an
nual Poor Richard Club Franklin
Day banquet, questioned the wisdom
of converting battleships into trans
ports to bring men back from
France.
"Armistice does not spell peace"
he declared. ''If this great war ends
without difficulties following, it will
be different from any other war
and we may need our battleship at
any time. The idea that the only
thing to do now is to get the boys
back quick is all wrong.
The matter is settled now and
we must leave the direction of these
matters to wiser heads than mine,
but by making of the battleships
over into transports 1 very much
regret.
IF you knew how great a task il
is to get n battleship prepared for
war and to train and equip crew,
you would know how terrible a
blow it is to the navy to have two
thirds of the crews taken off the
ships, have them torn apart and
sent to transporting soldiers"
The admiral paid high tribute to
the men who stayed at home and
trained the men who went over into
service.
When war began, Admiral Mayo
SAID, the navy, as a whole, was not
ready Tor war. We were not ready
because We had not had the money
to be ready" he said. I'VE did not
have enough ships. we did not have
enough men. To get ready for war.
we mad to multiply our personnel
nearly ten fold. from $4,000 to near
ly a half million. I think we all
agree now that had America spent
few millions before the war for
preparedness, she would not have
had to spend many billions in war
ana mad she spent a few hundred
mliilons there would not have been
any war"
