stated at hearings before Congress
that the elevation Of the turret guns
on the British capital ships had been
and was being increased. This
statement" the acting secretary said
yesterday, was based on information
believed to be thoroughly reliable by
the department"
Mr. Roosevelt. in reply to questions
as to the source of the departments
Information, would only say that no
officer could be held culpable be-
cause of an erroneous report in this
connection. A canvass of naval of

that high British officers were them
selves authority for the statement
that the elevation of their ~>Spital
ship turret guns had been increased
from $4,000 to 10000 yards. Furthes
evidence, they said, was given by an
annual British naval publication
which has enjoyed practically official
status for decades. In the last three
issues it has listed the British main
fleet as having a uniform turret ele
walton OF 10000 yards as contrasted
w ith the 24,000-yard range for which
they were originally constructed.
When consideration of the proposed
appropriation of S6,500.000 to mod

being given by the Senate and House
naval committees, Acting Secretary
Roosevelt made before these bodies
the statements which he corrected
yesterday
At the time the appropriation was
asked it was argued that the work
was necessary to bring the American
Navy up to a parity with that Of the
British, which, 1t was said, had been
strengthened by post-treaty work.
Now that the appropriation has been
obtained. there was no indication of
the NssY Departments plans with
regard to expenditure of the $6,500.-
600 for thirteen American battleships,
beyond the statement that details of
the modernization program had not
been determined.
The program of the Navy Depart
ment, which ultimately would cost
about $3O,000.000, was attacked in
on the ground that 1T violated the
spirit, if not the letter, of the arms
conference treaty, and strenuous eff
forts were made to amend it so as to
guard against the possibility of any

naval experts still insist that in their
original status the British main tur-
ret guns outranged those Of Ameri-
can ships. They believed that the
British disclaimer of recent improve
ments did not remove necessity for
bringing American vessels to a higher
efficiency.
