NAVY NOT READY
DECLARES EISKE

washington. D. C.. March 51--The
navy was unprepared for war In 1917
because OF the mental and tempera-
mental characteristics Of the man at
as the result Of those characteris-
tics" rear admiral Bradley a Fisle.
retired, declared today before the
senate committee Investigating the
navy's conduct OF the war.
TO prevent unpreparedness In the
future" admiral Fiske said, the
most important step is for the public
10 insist that the man at the head
Of the navy shall be imbued with
the spirit OF the navy, highly edu-
Gated. open minded and acquainted
with the principles on which naval
preparedness is based and by follow
Ing which preparedness can be Sc
cured"
Admiral Fislze was aide for opera
lions and senior adviser 70 the sec
rotary of the navy Tor several years
befces the United States entered the
war, but resigned as aide after d1t-
ferences with the secretary regard
ing the abolition OF wine on warships
and over preparedness
Lacked Prepared Plans
The admiral told the committee the
navy was not only unpreparcd Ior
war from 1915 TO 1917 from stand
point OF material and personnel, hut
lacked any well prepared war plar&
1t was not until August J. 1913 that
the navy department established an
organization for the exclusive d1ty
o. making plans for war, he said
although he and other officers had
urged such an organization for sew
eral years
Naval war plans in 1919 and 1911,
when he was a member OF the gen.
eral board, did not contain one per-
cent Of what they should have em-
bodied. admiral Ftske testlfied. and
IN 1914 the navy was wholly unpre-
pared for war
The navy today could not carry
out maneuvers such as the German
fleet executed in 1913" he said
principally because OF lack OF bat
tie cruisers and aerial FORCES
Differences With Daniels.
Much Of admiral Fiske's statement
was devoted TO a review OF his diff
ferences with secretary Daniels
Mental characteristics and previous
training OF Mr. Daniels were such
as To prevent a broad and profound
view" OF the needs OF the navy as a
whole, he said.
TO approve plans for the extension o.
the navy's aerial forces. the cotain-
ing OF sufficient personnel and
proper formulation OF war plans prior
10 1917.
Rear admiral Mayo vas cross ex-
amined briefly on his direct state
meut Of yesterday. Chairman Hale
requested him 10 prepare a further
statement on his remarks with re.
gard to the need Of well defined
foreign policy for proper prepared
ness OF the navy for war Re was
also asked TO prepare suggestions
whereby mistakes of the recent var
might be avoided in the future.
