B BATTLESH HIPS OF NO USE ASSERT
 AIR COMMANDERS
British Admiral Advocates Saving of Huge Naval
 Appropriations.

LONDON, April 14-Admiral Sir Percy Scott, commander of the aerial defense of London in the world war has no use for battleships. He be- lieves the British navy would be better off if it spent the 40,000,000 pounds intended for battleship con struction in research and providing newer weapons of warfare.
 The late war Sir Percy said showed that the only safe policy as regards battleships was to stow them away as far as possible from the enemy. If we go to war now with France I do not think our bat tlehips will be safe unless we con struct a harbor to contain them in Iceland.
 Personally" continued Sir Percy, in a newspaper interview. q am fully in accord with Rear Admiral Adair when he said that we ought not to spend one penny on battle ships, but whatever money we may have to spare should be laid out on research work RearAdmiral Adair told the House of Commons that if we built new battleships we should also have to provide new bases at great cost at Halifax, Bermuda and Jamaica, on the west coast of Can ada, in New Guinea, and at Singa- pore. I say this nation, with the income tax at six shllings in the nffDrJ thic penditure, when nobody can tell me what we are going to do with the battleships when we get them.
 'In the first few hours of the next war, Plymouth. Dover and even London, may be reduced to ashes unless we are prepared with an ad- equate counter to the fleets of air planes that would attack us. It seems to me therefore, nothing but plain. common sense that we should spend, what only we can spare, not on battleships that are mo d-d'd good as the midshipman said. but in providing the very best we can buy of the newer weapons that will count in the war of the fulure."
 
 Speaking of the latest develop ments in death dealing instruments, Sir Percy explained the principles of the new Davis gun, which fires from both ends and with which, he said, all American airplanes were to be armed If would be possible for an airplane to carry a 12-inch gun and fire at battleships from 10000 feet up. Battleshipa could have no protection against such weapons.
 Speaking of the progress that has been made in planning aerial attacks on warships Sir Percy Scott said. in an interview in the Evening Stan lard: 'It is no secret now-eyery man in the service knows it-that had the war lasted another fort nights, we would probably, by means of an aerial attacks, have sunk all the German ships in the Kiel Canal.

Neither Secretary Of the Navy
Daniels nor any other official Of the
Navy Department would comment to-
night on the story Of the fist fight
between Farrell and Hinton. Secre-
tary Daniels is sticking to his original
statement that lie will have no COM
ment to make on the matter until the
Official report of everything connected
with the flight, from the officers them
selves, is before him.
The press reports of the fight nat
urally aroused the keenest interest In
naval circles here. 1t Is recognized
by everybody that it adds zest TO the
whole adventure and is likely to in
crease the seriousness of the naval
and Senatorial inquiries
Congressional investigation Of the
flight Of the baIloonists seemed to-day
absolutely certain. Senator King OF
Utah. who addressed letter yester-
day to Secretary Daniels for informal
tion concerning the flight which might
prove the basis of a Senatorial in
vestigation, expects reply by to-mor-
row and will Immediately ask for a
Senatorial investigation.
Meantime preparations are being
made by the Navy Department for a
special court Of inquiry. which is ex-
pected to forestall the Senatorial in
quiry. Whether 1t will do this or not
is something that will have to be de-
termined by the Senate itself.
There is a constantly growing GU
riosity concerning all free balloon
flights. The explanation generally Of
fered for sending up men under orders
Of the Navy Department in free bal
looms IS that they go to obtain scien-
tific information concerning air cur
rents and atmospheric conditions. No
explanation by the Navy Department
indicates that even the most mcagre
preliminary precautions were taken to
determine air conditions before the
fight which landed Lieuts Kloor, Hin
ton and Farrell in the Canadian wilds.
Regardless Of any Navy Department
inquiry, the Senate members are anxious
to discover what provisions are made
in the United states to determine con-
ditlons under which free balloon flights
may be ordered.
The Senatorial investigation has in
mind the military air service. 1t has
been called TO the attention of Senators
that the smallest European States have
better facilities for investigating air
conditions than In the United States.
These Senators purpose to make use Of
the interest awakened by the flight to
determine what course the Government
should take In investigating air cur
rents and atmospheric conditions as
they relate TO flights.

Extreme simplicity will mark the
inaugural ceremonies Of President
Harding, it was decided to-day by the
Joint Congressional Committee on In
auguration. He will take the oath of
office and deliver his address in the
Senate chamber, and probably not
more than one thousand spectators
outside of officials of the House, Sen
ate. Supreme Court and members of
the diplomatic corps will witness the
event.
Instead of using the $4,000 Con-
gress already has appropriated for
governmental expenses. such as the
erection OF platform and amphithe-
atre at the east front Of the Capitol.
the preparing of engraved invitations,
the enlisting of additional police and
similar incidentals, the total govern
mental expense is, expected to be not
more than $4,000.
There will be an additional cost Of
about SIS 5,O00 which the Inaugural Com
mittee will have 10 pay TO contractors
with whom arrangements already had
been completed for the erection of the
inaugural stand and who had ordered
all the lumber, part OF which was at
the Capitol to-day with large force OF
workmen ready TO begin work.
The decision TO abandon all but the
necessary details for administration OF
the oath was made at the committee
meeting this afternoon. There had been
great deal Of favorable comment prior
to that among members of both House
and Senate of Mr.. Harding's announce
ment that he wanted no display and as
little expense as possible.
Senator Knox (Pa.). chairman Of the
committee, early In the day arranged
meeting to consider the change In the
programme. It was unanimously agreed
that the request of the President-elect
should be complied with. This telegram
was sent to him at Marion:
"The Joint Committee on Inaugural
tion have received your telegram trans
mitted through me as chairman. dated
January 10, indicating your desire for ex-
treme simplicity in the inaugural cere-
monies on the fourth of next March.
and that the same shall be conducted
practically without expense. The COM
mittee has considered your suggestion in
the spirit in which 1t was made and
has decided, subject to your approval
that the inaugural ceremonies shall take
place in the Senate chamber. which in
wolves no disturbance Of the arrange
ment incident to the Inauguration of the
president and involves no expense
except such incidental expense for po-
lice as the circumstances will require"
Members Of the Joint Committee are

publicans, and Overnan IN. Co.. Demo-
crat: Representatives Reavis (Neb.l and
