DANIELS TESTlFiES BEFORE
 HOUSE NAVAL COMMITTEE

Washington, May 2s-Although the
 navy department has opposed to
 launching new building programmes
 which would give the United States
 navy second to none in the world,V
 it is in favor of rushing to completion
 all capital ships already authorized
 and of maintaining temporarily at
 least a force of men capable of handling "any emergency which might arise.'
 Secretary Daniels. continuing his testimony today before the house na- val affairs committee, read a commu- nication from the general board which 1 recommended that the ten battieships and six battle cruisers authorized in | 1916 programme should be completed as soon as- possible. and that no radi- | cal changes should be made in con- struction of the vessels.
 Recommendations was made by the secretary that provision be made in the 1920 appropriation bill for a navy I of 250,0 ,000 men, only 23,OO0 less than are now in the service sde asserted 1 that unless this number was author ized, the navy would be unable to aid materially in bringing American 1 troops home from Europe and in ad- dition would be dangerously weak | ened"
 l MT. Daniels emphasized that the
 navy department did not intend tc 1 ask congress at this time for per 1 manent navy of 250,000 men but only for a temporary force.
 | The recommendation from the gen. eral board regarding the early com pletion of the 1916 programme dis closed that the naval experts had de cided against the composite shiI i which had been planned to take the
 place of the battleship and battle crui- ser.
 Rear Admiral McKean, acting chic of the office of operations told th'
 committee that sixteen first class ant
 thirteen second class battleships. witl a total complement of 36,000 men would be kept in commission as peace time force. When questioned b.
 committee members regarding the ad visibility of reducing this number O men, Admiral McKean said it coult ! not be done without so deer .ssing tn efficiency of the navy as to make
 possible for anyone to come aloni | and bump us off"
 5 The department has planned, h 7 said. to keep in commission TIC ship of all types, put 193 out of commits l sion and place 409 in reserve.

FULL COMPREHENSION OF
 COMMANDER READS FLIGHT

New York. May 28.-Full' comprehen- sion of the far-reaching effect of Lieu tenant Commander Reads achievement in flying across the Atlantic in the naval seaplane N.C-4 can be attained only by comparing It with the first flight over the English channel by Louis Bleriot in 1909, Henry Wood house, a member of the board of gov ernors of the Aero club of America, declared tonight.
 Tt will be recalled said MT. Wood house, that a flight across the chan nel was considered beyond the pOssi- bilities of the airplane of Bleriot's day. yet the French flyer made the voyage in a 50 Horsepower monoplane. Who will say that Lieutenant Commander Reads exploit will not become as common, at least five years hence, as crossing the channel is today?
 The N.C-4's flight will go down in history as the beginning; of a new inn portant era in the history of aeronau- ties"
