Submarines Needed. "1 thoroughly believe In developing knd building an adequate number of submarines; I believe in building torpedo boar destroyers; there must be a few that scouts, and, of course, vari- ous auxiliary vessels of., different kinds. But the strength of the navy mats primarily on Its battleship, and In building these battleships It U imperatively necessary, from the stand-poialike of efficiency and economy, that they should he the very beat of their kind. In my judgment we are not excused If we build any battleship Inferior to those now being built by other nation. I should be glad If a 11ml-titk- ra could be agreed upon an (o the lie of battleship hereafter to be built. I have found, however, that It undoubtedly would be impracticable to reach env such agreement In the near future. In the first class navies generally these big battleship! have al- bees built or are uow building. cannot afford to fall behind, and shall fall behind if we fall to build ready we test-clas- s battleships ourselves.

Putting the extreme rase for the sake of illustration, this may hu shown by comparing the fighting value of two squadrons having exactly the aame number of heavy guns mounted In one case or a few large vessels and in the other on many small cues. Thus a squadron of ten uuall vessels, each having a broadside fire of two heavy guns, or u guns in all must Inevitably be defeated by a squadron of two Urge vessels, each having a broadside fire of ten heavy guns, because the squadron of sma! vessels would be about two mllea long and therefore cannot concentrate all of ita fire effectively on two large vessels, whereas the fatter,, by the great concentration of their heavy guns, all within a length of half a mile, can readily destroy the small vessel nearest to them In the line and in the same manner successively destroy the remainder. That is to any, the larger vessels can alwaya attain the object sought In all baitles namely, the concentration of a superior force upon an Inferior one, upon a part of tbe enemys Hue, while the remaining parts are outside of effective range; and no tactical skill by the squadron of small veaacls can counteract thla advau-tngbecause the Inability to concentrate la Inherent in the design oMargn vesself. Can Choose Distance. The squadron of large vessels must of course be able to choose Its own distance and relative position which It can alwaja do, because of the much greater speed than can be given to vessels of large displacement. Tbe same Is true when we compare vessels having a broadside of four guns (the ordinary battleship) with those having a broadside of ten guns (the battleships proposed). If It be decided that our naval force should be Increased by a broad-aid- e fire of forty heavy guns, then efficiency demands that we build four high speed ships, each having a broadside fire of ten guns, rather than a greater number of smaller ships having a broadside fire of four guns each. For these reasons, a squadron of vessels, each having a broadside fire of 12 or more heavy gumt, would be more powerful than a squadron having the same number of guns mounted on vessels having a broadside of ten guns each, and the sole reason for not advocating more than ten guna on a broadside la that such vessels are not at present necesssry, as none of the vessels of our possible enemies have a greater offensive force. Tbe principle, however,, holds good that, given the seme number of guns on each of Its vessels will be the most powerful. While tbe question of economy should not be allowed to diminish tbe naval force required for national do- frnse. It nevertheless may be stated Incidentally that we can Increase our naval force by a broadside fire of, say guns at considerably less forty cost by building ships haring a broadside fire of ten heavy guns each, than by building a greater number of smaller chips. Cost of Large Veseele. For example, four 'large vessels, mounting forty heavy guns, would cost about 140.000,000. whereas ten small ships, mounting the same total number of heavy guns, would - cost about 170,000,000. Moreove.r, the large ship consume more coul, a small ship having a large number of small guns etc.), actually requires more men and officers than a large one, having heavy guns only and, consequently each small ship costs at least as much to maintain and to repair. For example, the complement of the Dreadnaugbt, of 18.000 tons, is G90 officers snd men, while that of the Louisiana of 16,000 tons, is about e, 12-in- 12-ln- 12-ln- h 860. 8mall Ships Expenaive. "Thus, for the sum that it would cost to maintain ten small ships, we could maintain a squadron of four large ones that would be greatly suhrvy armor. in tactical qualities, total effecperior aat Effective Gunn, tive bitting rapacity, ability to fight the effective offensive tbe guna in a heavy sea, speed, proil . may now be tection and the Inherent ability to confire and make a year ,hr nua,bcr of heavy centrate Its gun Wn sb ly saving of mure than four millions Me tv', flje on either broad-io- - In the original cost, and we would ordinary battleship the M T broadside fire con- - require fewer men to handle the more l,.,' nfff runs.
