Navy To Develop Guns Of Dreadnoughts
More than Fourteen Million Dollars Will Be Spent
for Airp1anes.

Washington, July 1.-The new
American navy, as provided by the
treaties. will be thoroughly equipped
with modern implements of naval
warfare under the naval bill as pass
ed by Congress.
With eighteen capital ships, includ-
ing the newest dreadnoughts, as the
first line of defense, the navy will be
armed with the greatest air fleet in
its history An appropriation of S13,-
100000 has been set aside for the
purchase of new airplanes and for
the development of the naval air ser
vice
While obtaining new dread
noughts'' of the air the navy will also
experiment in the development of the
latest aerial defensive and attacking
weapons. A large sum has been set
aside for research work to be used
in an effort to perfect new type of
barrel engine which would enable the
heavy aircraft to increase their speed
from 20 to 80 per cent New depth
bombs, to be used against enemy sub
laboratories. while the use of high
explosive bombs on battleships will
be perfected for use against an invad-
ing fleet.
Tests Are Satisfactory.
The recent tests off the Virginia
coast demonstrated the value of de-
fensive air fleets for use a coast
guard, and the navy will not be slow
to perfect this comparatively new
weapon of defense.
Ten of the fastest cruisers in the
world are now in process of construc-
ton Several will be finished this
, coming year, and they will be added
! to eighteen capital ships in the first
line of defense. Five second-line
cruisers are now in use and will be
retained under terms of the Wash
ugton treaties.

Among the latter will be six light
mine-layers-a vessel developed to an
important position in naval warfare
during the world struggle. German
mlne-layers, dotting the North Sea
and the English channel with innu-
Enerable mines, wrought havoc for a
time to English and Allied shipping
Later the tables were turned on the
Germans when mine-layers dotted the
seas and the channels to German ma
val bases with deadly mines to pre-
vent the free passage of submarines.
Their effective work was clearly dem
onstrated, and the six mine-layers
will be retained by the navy to de-
velop an efficient force for use in
this modern branch of naval warfare
in event America is forced into an
other combat.
