ERRORS IN PLENTY

There were plenty of errors-navy and army-on both sides Of the Allan tic--errors made by able and patriotic men. as there always are.
 Some will ask, Why should errors be discussed now that the war Is over. and all the allied and associated powers did so well? Admiral Beatty furnishes the answer in these words:
 "We make many mistakes, and it is our business today to see that the les sons have been taken to heart and that we shall not again be found in such 8 state that we have to face the great est crisis in history with improvised me thods. working from hand to mouth. It may be said that the result was good enough with such methods; but was it? We have surely no right to continue to rely on improvisations. We in the navy know well our defects and it is our business to face them, to leave no stone unturned to avoid a repetition of the mistakes from which we have suf- fered in the past"

Senator Heflin Says He May Introduce Resolution Deny ing NeWberry a Seat In

Washington, May Special While democratic senator's, as a rule reserved judgment regarding the decision of the supreme court in the case of Senator Newberry of Michigan today, it was strongly indicated that at the proper time they would unite in support of a resolution denying him the privilege of sitting in the Senate of the United States.

naval offensive in that area, the French and British had made the channel from Dover to Calais impossible of passage by an enemy submarine that would have been supreme and effective strat- egy.
 If barrages such as We afterward laid across the North sea- had been erected there and across the Straits of Otranto, the U-boats would have been so hemmed in that Germany would have realized early in the struggle that she could not hope to win the war by their use Millions of toms of shipping would have been saved, and 1t would have changed the whole trend of the war at soo

After every war one can look back and see that somewhere there was lack of foresight somewhere there was wanting vision translated into action, somewhere there was failure to grasp 6 new and daring plan which might have turned defeat into victory or have hastened the day of peace.
 When one reflects upon the zeal courage and success of the British navy in freeing the seven seas from Ger man traffic. one is filled with admira- tion for it's spirit and achievements. But it made mistakes, as we, and all the other navies did
 Over on this side of the ocean what was our chief error?
 It was that We lacked the foresight in 1915-16, largely because we did not Have the information which was, kept From tneutrals, to concentrate upon the building of destroyers to the exclusion of larger ships. To be sure we were utilizing before the United States en- tered the war every available facility for the building of destroyers
 MORE DESTROYERS NEEDED
 The great threeyear programme pro- posed by me in 1915 and voted by Con gress in 1916 embraced 50 destroyers to be constructed in three years, along with 16 capital ships and 10 scout cruis- ers
 Looking back upon that programme, 1t Is clear now. taking advantage Of what We learned during the war, that IT. would have been wiser to have de- layed contracting for so many capital ships, and built hundreds of destroy CTS, the craft most effective against submarines. Our ship construction programme during the war included approximately 1000 vessels. This :n addition to the 1,547 ships converted for naval purposes.
 There was no delay in pressing worl. &n destroyers. Immediately after CUn-

gress authorized the three-year pro gramme, contracts were made for the 20 authorized the first year, as well as for 27 submarines, four battle ships, four battle cruisers, and other vessels. In alarch, 1917, before we en- tered the war. as soon as funds were available, A more were ordered: al. ditional orders were given as rapidly as the contracts could be placed and by the middle of october we were building or had contracted for 270.
 ALL RECORDS BROKEN
 Millions had to be spent for new ia c1lities to build them-enlargemen os old shipyards, building Of giant new plants It was a great job, but we broke all records in rapid construction q when we struck our gait. The House naval committee, after thorough in Vesttgation, said in it's report ma 1c March 4, 1918:
 When it came to building additional destroyers, especially those of the large programme, it was found that the ship building facilities of the country were fully absorbed with tho vessels then under construction and 1t would be necessary to create new facilities. The plans adopted required more than dou- bling the capacity available last sunl< mer for building destroyers, and that capacity was materially greater than before the war. In spite of speed in construction, these vessels are not be- ing sighted in workmanship or appli-

ON SHORE TOO LONG

remember some years ago that a certain naval officer, whfo stood high in the service, went in command of a battleship after three years of shore duty.
 How is Captain Y- getting on?" I asked Admiral Fletcher, then command erin chief of the fleet.
 He has been on shore too long," re- piled Admiral Fletcher. There is but one way to be a successful, ready and quick captain of a ship, and that is to practice all the duties afloat.'
 Afterward that officer, highly es- l teemed, was plucked.
 When the time came for the United States navy to enter active war service. even before the declaration of war, l gave the positions of greatest impor- tance afloat to men of the longest and latest experience at sea-Mayo in com mand of all our forces at home and abroad; Rodman in command Of our dreadnaughts in the North sea; Wilson first in charge of the patron squadron and later in command off the French coast, protecting our transports; Gleaves in command of the cruiser and transport force, safeguarding and car rying our soldiers overseas; Rogers in command of dreadnaughts watching for German raiders off the British and French coasts. and others of long sea r1sx

GREATEST ERROR OF ALLIES

What was the biggest naval error of tsie war committed by the allies?
 I think the answer is plain and easily understood now by both expert and lay man: It was the failure to erect, at the beginning of submarine warfare, back in 1914-15, effectual barrages across the North sea and the English channel. in the Mediterranean and at the entrance to the Adriatic sea. If efforts had been directed to this end sinkings by sub marines would have been greatly les sened and ended long before the com bined naval forces were equal to the big job of making U-boat warfare un- safe
 The deeds of the destroyers and other naval craft glorify the World war. But If the day war was declared, as the first
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-05-03
EXPERTS DIDN'T SEE IT

Looking back, I wished every day during the war that when we began the big naval expansion in 1915 we had asked Congress for the money to build 300 destroyers at that time. By con- centration in 1915-16 we would have had most of them ready in the frs. months of the war It is a fact, how ever, that no naval expert and nobody in Congress suggested emitting the capital ships and pushing the big de- stroyer programme we began in the stress of war.
 Across the seas what was the great 1 naval error of our allies? Some of the ablest writers declare that 1t was the tactics of Admira. Jellicoe at the battle of Jutland. The admiral has written most in teresting book undertaking to show ! that his method of fighting the battle wac right, when all the conditions are considered. The admiral is a brave and ! learned officer, and gentleman of charm and real stuff, but he made the mistake of his life when he wrote h:s story of the grand fleet.
 CONVERSION AND AvOIDANCE'
 read 1t on my way to Europe in March, 1919. and began 1t with feel ing that Admiral Jellicoe had been harshly and unjustly treated by the critics. But, when l had read the last chapter. by feeling was the same as that of distinguished Britisher whom met few weeks later and who said to me:
 For his own reputation Jellic3e ought not to have written that book. At the best 1t is plea of confession and avoidance"
 The basis for this opinion lies in the fact that the admiral charges his fail ure to win a decisive victory to the superiority of the Germans in certain material (and to the low visibility that prevailed); whereas the admiralty had told the world that in this Very material Great Brftain excelled all ot.,-

POINT TO CONTROVERSY

The crux of the batte Is. Should Jel- licoe have turned the whole fleet away at 7:10 because a flotilla of enemy de- stroyers supported by a cruiser was observed on bearing :. 50 degrees W. from Iron Dukc?" Bellairs says: Tt was to avoid this attack of II destroy- CTS that 2I battleships turned away Tt is impossible" Bellairs continues. ''to imagine more definite break from the whole spirit of naval tradition, or from it's practice united to modern in- ventions. of the golden rule that once an enemy is sighted he must be cut off. closely engaged and annihilated Our cruisers and destroyeIs who could have pressed home their own attack on the enemy line, were by this time in the van" Finally. after an elaborate dis cussions, Bellairs says: 'It suffices here to remark that Io turn ought to have presented itself to a British ad miral but the turn toward the enemy ''
 Admiral Jellicoe went in command of the British grand fleet after long and honorable service in the admiralty Is that the reason why he placed prudence above daring? The doctrine of "a fleet in being" had long ago been upheld by the admiralty. Admiral Jellicoe felt that the safety of the world depended upon the ability of the British navy to prevent the escape of the German fleet to the high seas. If he failed in dash ing after the enemy fleet under con- ditions he deemed adverse, was 1t not due to his long shore experience and his intense conviction that he must, at all hazards, preserve British sal periority In ships or tho sea?
