FLEETS BACKBONE
Sec'y Daniels Refuses to Alter
Conviction Regarding
Nays Mainstay.


WASHINGTON, d. G.. Feb. 19.-
The controversy which has ragged
both in the United States and
abroad as to the comparative value
Ct capital ships aircraft and sub
marines in naval warfare has not
shaken the conviction OF Sec'y Of the
Navy Josephus Daniels that the bat
tleship is the backbone Of the
fighting fleet. and must nos be
abandoned by the American navy
Zone hears considerable talk
nowadays" said the secretary. Ito
the effect that we should scrap all
our battleships and devote our en-
tire attention 10 building aircraft or
submarines. Some OF this talk IL Is
true. has come from naval officers.
I have noticed however. that he
uaval officers born here and In Great
Britain who hoI this view are f1r
the most part en- the retired list.
The officers who might be c1'Icl
upon 10 do actual fighting are al
most without exception in favor OF
tn capital shiT.
Though the secretary is firm in
his conviction that the big ship is
the mainstay Of the fleet, he is by
no means opposed TO the use Of
aerial and undersea craft as an aux
Hilary fighting force. In fact, he has
repeatedly called the attention of
congress to the necessity Of such
craft in "rounding out" the fleet.
and he has given every encourage
ment TO scientific development along
those lines.
The y ca seaplanes and the
"Giant-Boat" type. which is more
than one-third larger than the y c
boats, are examples Of the navy's
pioneer work in navigation of the
air, and the new fleet submarines
show its policy of keeping up with
the times in the submarine field.
The secretary cited experiments
conducted with the obsolete battle
ship Indiana az a proof that the
navy has been thoroughly alive to
the need of taking cOgnizance OF
aerial bombing as q factor in naval
warfare and contended that the re-
suits of those experiments proved

from aircraft for the present. AZ
least. He considers these expert
ments a complete reply 20 the
charges Of Brig. Cen. Mitchell of
the L. s. army air service
The capital ship. Daniels freely
admits, is being modified continual
~ as the science Of naval warfare
progresses. The original capital ship
was the "ship of the line" Of a cen
fury ago. New types have arisen as
when the irOnclad came into exist
eence. but the battleship or its
equivalent has always survived.
The search for a simpler and
cheaper substitute has been con-
slant, and with the development of
every new weapon enthusiasts have
asserted that the battleship has
been sent to the junk-pile. In the
opinion of the secretary, however,
history has shown that for even

PROBES GALORE IN
MONTANA ASSEMBLY
Fiscal Affairs of Important De-
partments Are Under
Investigation.

HELENA, Mont, Feb. 1s.-"Have
you been investigated YETI"
This once ominous query. which
in times past meant sweeping re-
ports on many departments and in
stitutions of the state of Montana,
is now a josh in the capitol build
ing in Montana. The 18th legisla-
tive assembly is in session and the
house appropriations committee has
been divided into four sections to
probe the fiscal affairs OF all OF the
more burdensome departments and
institutions.
In addition. members with various
ideas as TO the way the government
Of the state should be conducted in
the interim between the biennial ses-
sions are determining for them
selves just how the thing ticks and
what makes il run.
With enthusiasm and a vOracious
appetite for minute details they are
going into the highways and the by
ways for information. Subcommit-
tees are climbing 20 the topmost
notch of the political tree and others
are trying TO give new life TO the
top roots by exposing them to the
air and the light Of day.
The committees are already work
ing on the wealth of data furnished
by the state highway commission,
the state insane and tuberculosis
asylums. the school for the deaf
dumb and the blind and the state in
dustrial school.
The result of one quiet investiga-
ton which was never made public
was brought to light when the house
committee on taxation and revenue
cast a bombshell into the assembly
by introducing a bill requiring every
department which receives any funds
from the state to settle with the
treasurer every five days. Hereto
fore, the heads of departments have
maintained their own accounts and
settled either monthly. semi-annual-
II or annually. One member of the
house declared these private &C
counts total $4,000 of state funds.

AWAITS. WORD ON ANTI BEER
 LEGISLATION

Washington, July a1.-Revenue Commissioner Blair again today had the beer regulations at the top of his desk calendar for decision. He await ed word from Senate leaders as to whether immediate and final action upon anti-baer legislation may be eX- pected. If promise of immediate ac- ton is not given at once, the beer regulations are to be signed and pro- mulgated
 Senate leaders were unable to as- sure Commissioner Blair, without further consultation, of the probable date of final action. A factor against early action on the Willis-Campbell Dill also is the farmer relief 1egisla- tion. which has the right of way over peer legislation, unless by unanimous consent it is s;detracked.
 Physicians probably will be aI- lowed to prescribe not in excess of E gallons upon a single prescrip- Hon, an equivalent of about three cases of beer, ofte4 as they see fit.
