cussed at some length the claims made
in England for this type oil hshting

Sims Tells of New War riahes.
Bombing airplanes are now being
built" said he, capable or speeding
ninety miles an hour while carrying
eighteen inch torpedoes, which they can
launch from high attitudes against bat
tleships, either singly or steaming In
column. These torpedoes on striking the
water move toward their prey as though
they were shot from destroyer
mot only are planes carrying tor
pedoes, but other planes are carrying
bombs loaded with 1000 pounds OF high
explosives. A single bombing plane can
carry sixty of these bombs. and from
attitudes of from 5000 to 10000 yards
can score a fair percentage OF hits rlght
down through the lightly armored pro-
tective decks OF battleship and into
her vulnerable vitals. We are told that
In England they are now using bombs
of this character containing 1900 pounds
OF explosive"
Admiral Sims described the character
of the modern aircraft carrier. a vessel
as huge as a dreadnought, with the
sped of q destroyer and with deck space
enough to provide for the carrying and
launching of eighty planes, some of them
torpedo planes and others bombers. Such
a formidable craft. he said, is now being
designed for our navy.
"There is no doubt" said the speaker,
that If such vessel. steaming alone.
should meet a hostile battleship, also
alone, the battleship however modern
and powerful, probably would soon be
put out of action. The airplane carrier,
having ten miles an hour greater speed
than the battleship, could remain safely
out of range of the latter's guns and at
the same time could launch her airplane
attack with bombs or torpedoes while
lying $50 miles away from her enemy
"The same. think, would be true of
squadron of battleships in combat with
a squadron of airplane carriers" added
the Admiral. always assuming-and
say assuming with capital letters-that
what We are hearing from overseas
about these devices is all true"
New Defence for New Offence.
The Admiral pointed out, however,
that new methods of offence in sea war
fare always have been met by new de-
vices for defence and for counter attack.
When the torpedo boat was developed
it was said the knell OF the capital ship
had been sounded because the torpedo
boat could sink the capital ship with
a single torpedo. But the destroyer,
with it's greater power and speed, was
developed, and it has driven the torpedo
boat off the seas.
Admiral Sims has not lost faith in the
capital ship. There is foolish talk
said he, "of the inactivity of the British
grand fleet during the war. But let me
tell you this: If by some earthquake
or other convulsion of nature the Brit
ish grand fleet lying at anchor at Scapa
Flow had been obliterated, thus releas-
ing from its Imprisonment the German
high seas fleet, you and your allies could
have done nothing. You would have
been helpless. You could not have sent
your troops to France. Your ports and
those of your allies would have been
ravaged All your destroyers. all your
proud conveys would have been either
destroyed or driven into port"

AdmiraIs Oppose Theories.

Every one OF his theories was con-
tradicted by four high ranking naval
officers who were present-Admiral
Coontz, chief OF operations Rear Ad-
miral Taylor. chief of the Bureau of
Construction and Repair Rear Admiral
McVey. chief Of the Bureau of Ordnance.
and Capt Craven. director of the naval
aircraft. They were called in order by
Senator poindexter (wash.). who con-
Quoted the hearing in the absence OF
Senator Page (Vt). chairman OF the
committee.
Their testimony and the cross-exami-
nation OF Admiral Fuiiam by Senators
Lodge and Poindexter showed that many
OF Admiral F'ullam's allegations as to
the number of submarines and aircraft
either In operation or under construction
were based on misinformation and did
not represent the actual facts.
For instance, Admiral Fullam insisted
there was not n single long range sub
marine available now and none under
construction. Admiral Taylor showed
that three long range submarines are
nearly completed, that three more are
we'll along and that others are being
provided so"
Asked to furnish the name of the naval
officer who had given him the basis for
his statement Admiral Fullam declined
to do so on the ground that II would
betray a confidence. He admitted that
he had little personal knowledge of the
state OF the building programme. He
insisted that the Navy Department is
not proflting by the lessons OF the war:
that II was forced to suspend the 1916
programme when the world war opened
because II found there were not enough
submarines. aircraft or destroyers. and
had to go to building them under emer-
gency conditions; but that now instead
of building the things the navy most
lacks, namely submarines and aircraft.
1t is again building capital ships. which
would not be what they most need in
case of war.

Discuss Naval strategy.

He insisted that with greater SUBJ
marine force Germany would have
starved England and won the war and
that her fleet was useless.
"Then they thought that starving Eng
land was better than stopping the trans
portation OF American troops?" sug-
gested Senator Lodge, who plainly was
out of sympathy with Admiral Fullams
contention.
This led to long discussion Of the
naval strategy employed both by Cor
many and the allied Powers during
tho war, Involving also a debate about
what had been learned from tho battle
OF Jutland. Finally senator Lodge said
"Your whole argument proceeds on the
assumption that we are neglecting tho
submarine and the naval aircraft That
s not the case. however. This commit
tee is doing all II can to build up those
branches. but until they are built nm
we feel that We should not abandon
what we have. in fairness to tho pro-
lection or the country and it's people"
Admiral Fullam said he was glad To
hear that. but insisted that some of the
money now being used for battleship
construction ought to be spent for air.

Special Despatch TO THE NEW YORK HEkALp'
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. G., Feb. 10.
Difference of opinion among naval
officers, active and retired. over the
naval policy to be adopted by Con-
gress were fought out to-day before
the Senate Naval Affairs Committee
in open session.
The hearing was held largely to az
ford an opportunity to Rear Admiral
Fullam, retired. to present his views
as to capital ships. He was called at
the request of Senator King Utah),
the sole member Of the committee to
dissent from the report made by the
committee recently, indorsing in full
the recommendation of the Navy
General Board. Senator King is to
submit within a few days minority
report.
The nature of this report was fore
cast to-day by the allegations of Ad-
miral F'ullam, who attacked practi-
cally the entire policy Of the navy
during the war and at present. His
views hitherto have been fully ex-
plotted in the Senate by Senator
Borah (Idaho) in his repeated appeals
for six months suspension of the
naval building programme.
Opposes Division oS Fleet.
Summarized, Admiral Fullam's opin-
ions are:
That We should suspend immedi-
ately for six months our naval pro-
gramme. to determine whether capi-
tai ships are obsolete or will be-
come so.
That construction OF six capital
ships now more than so per cent.
complete should be rushed to COM
pletion, but that the remaining five
should lapse and the money therefor
be used to build more submarines
and aircraft.
That division of the present fleet
into two sections is unwise and that
the whole fleet should be transferred
to the Pacific. with both coasts to be
protected by more submarines and
aircraft for both offensive and de-
fensive purposes.
That any we'll balanced navy
should have control of the surface of
the ocean by fighting ships. control
of the air by aircraft with airplane
carriers. and control on the under
surface by submarines of both long
and short range capacity.
That the present policy is ''perilous
to our safety" because control of the
air and the subsurface is being sacri-
feed for a doubtful control of the
surface, this contention being that
there is no complete control unless
all three elements are equally pro-
vided for

He urged that these be rushed to COM
pletion and that there be suspension of
the remainder for six months, and then,
with the additional information to be
obtained. that the funds be devoted to
controlling air and sub-surface.
There is no difference oil opinion be-
tween us on the necessity for greater
air and submarine forces In the navy"
said Senator Lodge, but the commit
tee and the General Board cannot agree
to suspension of the building pro-
gramme."'
Chiefs for More Building.
Admiral Coontz and the other naval
experts now in the service each made
to the committee. all urg-
ing completion of the building pro-
gramme and indorsing the views ex-
pressed by the General Board and the
Senate committee In It's report.
Senator King sought to show that the
naval programme had cost more than a
billion dollars for construction and
would cost about half a billion annually
for maintenance, and insisted that II
was an expenditure of which the Ameri-
can people would not approve and ought
Asked by Senator Poindexter what he
thought should be done. Admiral Coontz
outlined these essentials:
Completion of the present building
programme of battleships, battle cruis-
ers and submarines.
Immediate construction of two aero
plane carriers.
Completion of the destroyer pro-
gramme.
Development OF mine laying.
A policy by Congress that will make
effective the recommendations of the
Navy General Board.
Similar Endorsements were given by
Admirals Taylor and McVey and by
Capt. Craven.
Admiral Taylor emphasized the fact
that Great Britain had projected a
superdreadnought of $1,000 tons.
At the close of the hearing the COM
mittee went into executive session TO
consider the naval appropriation DILL
which it is expected will be reported 10
