down in the treaty we should call an
other conference and make another
agreement. Limitation by example is
a paciiist faulty that has never re-
ceived the support of a single respon-
sible statesman"
"TIow does the present naval
strength of the United States compare
with that of Great Britain and
Japan?' the writer asked.
Capt McNamee agreed to answer
that question i'm detail. The follow
ing statement represents the official
view Of the Navy Department on this
vital subject. It was prepared after
careful consideration and consultation
with other high officials of the de-
partment.
There 1rc," said Capt. McNamee,
-four principal factors to be con-
sidered in estimating the power OF a
navy, namely;

listed men in the regular navy.

men and engineers who habitually
follow the sea as a profession and who
therefore are available and suitable 20

II will compare the United States
with Great Britain and Japan In each
OF these four principal factors NAMED.
1t should be borne In mind that the
true ratio Is 5--5--3 and that tho
United States Is in each case the stan
dard.
I'D The ratio OF the regular naval
personnel at present maintained by
the United States and Great Britain
is 5--6.
THE ratio OF the regular naval
personnels at present maintained by
the United States and Japan is 5--4.3,
which means the United States re-
quires about 10000 more men TO make
the ratio SIS.
"(2) The ratio of trained searnen
and marine engineers who habitually
follow the sea is for the United States
and Great Britain about 5--16.5.
''The ratio for the United States
and Japan Is about 5--3.

Moderates in Bavaria Fear
Trouble VIII Come in Winter

Moderates in Bavaria fear that these
Nationalist bands viii make trouble
this winter. They already work at
elections. and in Cabinet crises. AZ
separatists they combat Prussian
democracy with the same energy as
foreign influence. Should there be
bread riots in Prussia Moderate Ba-
varians fear that the ultra National
lists, with the help of these secret mil
itary organizations, may declare a cor
don sanitaire between Prussia and
Bavaria and attempt to set up a mon.
archy or dictatorship of their own.
II is not so much that such schemes
have a chance of success as that
they would provoke civil war and more
misery. Moderate Germans therefore
regard the activities OF organizations
like that OF the Nationalist Bolshevlki
with open anxiety. These organiza-
tons have no very precise program
They were monarchists until their for.
mer kings sank into inslgniflcance
or ridicule. Most are still OF monarch
list leanings. However. the National
list Socialists assert that they are for
the republic but against democracy
They would have dictator who would
rule with an iron hand and who would
work to bring Germany back as a
world Power and would introduce a
peoples army.

conform to the limitations OF the Five
Power Naval Treaty signed at the
Washington Conference last winter.
It is due to the failure OF our own
Congress to maintain our navy UP to
thte treaty limit, said Capt. McNamee.
Congress will be called upon in a
few weeks to consider our naval pro-
gram for the next fiscal year. Secrc-
tary of the Navy DENLY is preparing

them to a point which will be accept

THE New YORK HERALD asked Capt.
McNamee to discuss this subject from
the viewpoint of tho men In the navy,
who are commanded TO know the an
swers TO all questions of relative naval
strength and keep our Government
and our people informed regarding
what is going on in the navies of the
world as well as our own.
Capt. McNainee is an officer of long
and varied experience and splendid
record in our navy. He was born in
1871 and was graduated from the
Naval Academy at twenty-one. He
served in the war with Spain and
promotion has come steadily. During
The world war he served for several
months as Chief OF Staff Of the Pa
riic feet. Then he was called to
Washington for important duty on the
staff of the Chief of Naval Operation,
Admiral w. S. Benson. Later he was
sent TO London on the staff OF Ad-
miral Sims, commander OF the United
States naval forces in European
waters. His services were considered
80 valuable that he was appointed a
member of the naval advisory staff
90 the American commission to ne
gotiate peace in Paris. Returning
home he was made member of the
staff OF the Naval War College NJ
Newport. Just prior 70 becoming d.
rector of Naval Intelligence he served
as the commanding officer Of the bat
tlcship Nevada.
our naval officers do not think they
should be asked to say what the rela-
be. They say that was fixed with
rcIation 10 the other navies of the
world in the naval treaty. Great
Britain and Japan are conforming to
tho treaty provisions and keeping
their navies up to the treaty limits.
