u. S. CAN WITHSTAND
ALL WORLDS NAVIES

Even with our navy and our fleets
denied access to the seas by any con-
ceivable combination of the other
great navies Of the world. America
could not be defeated and forced to
capitulate by naval operations alone.
This is one of the great outstanding
lessons of the world war as pointed
out by Gen. Peyton c. March, Chief
Of Staff. in his annual report to Sec
retary of War Baker, made public
yesterday.
The war proved. according to Gen.
March, that America can be self-sus-
tanning in every respect for an indeh-
mite period-a condition true OF prob
ably no other great power-and that
consequently she could not be brought
to her knees by naval operations of
her enemies. no matter how many or
