BRITISH FLEET WON
Admiral Tirpitz Of Germany Gives
Britain Credit.
Says the Submarine Was Given Great.
err Importance Than Was War
ranted by the Facts.

st. Blasien, Baden, Feb. l9.-Battle-
ships won the world war, and will win
future wars, in the opinion of Admiral
Tirpitz, at one time head of the Ger
man fleet and minister of the navy
during the critical period Of the his
toric struggle.
He reanirmed his faith in above
water craft during an interview here
and declared that strangely enough
owing to the pecularities OF the war,
the submarine had been given greater
importance than was warranted by the
facts.
England Japan and the United
States recognized the fact, he said,
that in the world struggle for SUI
premacy outside Of Europe land forces
would be secondary, He asserted such
a struggle must necessarily be one Of
sea supremacy, but added that the sort
of maritime forces to be constructed,
in the light of the experiences Of the
latest war was a great open question.
"There was no decisive action be
tween opposing fleets during the
World war" he said, because In mis-
concelving the political situation and
poorly assessing the inherent power
of the German fleet the British gov
eminent did not risk it during the de-
cisive first years of The conflict When
the favorable time for naval action
was past England had to suffer di-
rectlv only from German submarines.
Against them she had no preparation,
an reality the war, so far as the
sea was concerned was won by the
British high seas fleet, and the verdict
could have been reversed only through
battleships"

Senate PASSES
TARIFF MEASURE
Fordney Emergency Bill With
Temporary Duties on Farm
Products 0. KID.
TO TAX SUGAR Cent A POUND
Senator Williams of Mississippi
Charges Tariff Provisions on Sugar
Are Such as to Make Any In
dustry Profitable.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-After weeks
Of tedious debate the senate passed
the Fordney emergency tariff bill inn
posing temporary duties on farm and
live stock products. The vote on the
passage was 43 to 30. The bill now
goes back to the house for concur
renee in the many amendments added
by the senate. From there it will go
to the President for his approval or
disapproyal.
Belief was expressed that President
Wilson will veto the tariff BILL In
fact during the earlier discussions Of
the bin Senator Underwood Of Ala
hama expressed the opinion that the
President would follow such a course.
Closing hours of the debate were
marked by spirited exchanges. Sena-
| tor Moses of New Hampshire was one
who was particularly violent in his
criticism of the measure. Declaring
that it was "a misshapcn thing and
absolutely indefensible. he offered an
amendment to substitute the old
Payne-Aldrich tariffs for the entire
bin. The amendment, however, was
lost.
Senator Edge Of New Jersey, anoth-
err Republican, said the bill would
never accomplish the purpose for
which it was intended and that It
would only result in increased living
costs to the public without any sub
stantial benefits to the farmer.
Besides other heated attacks on the
tariff measure, the debate was marked
by a lengthy arraignment of the bin
by Senator Williams, Democrat, of
Mississippi, in which he INDUCED in
a mixture of wit, sarcasm and sin
cere protest that for more than an
hour held the individual attention
of the 40 senators on the floor.
The Mississippi senator charged
proponents Of the emergency tariff
with seeking to legtsIate money out of
the pockets Of the public into the peck
cts of those benefited by the bill. He
declared that the tariff provisions on
sugar were such as to make any in
dustry profitable and added:
81 can raise bananas in New Jer-
sey, if you will give a tariff on them.
I'd sell them for a dollar a banana"
The Smoot amendment would place
the tariff at one cent a pound in
addition to the present duty of the
same amount.
The amendments adopted would
provide rates rs follows. Butter
and butter substitutes, cents per
pound; cheese and cheese substitutes,
% per cent ad valorem; fresh milk >
cents per gallon, and cream cents per
gallon.
