Experimenting With Deyices, That navy department éxperts are now experimenting with devices by which it is hoped to protect'future American dreadnoughts against sub- marine torpedo attacks was revealed here today by Secretary Daniels:'in a speech .at a banquet Tollowing = the leunching of the battleship Arizona at the Brooklyn navy yara., After describing the work done on three of the five dreadnoughts au- thorized 'for the navy by the last congress, the secretary said: Protection Against Submarines, “The experts are at present con- sidering the best general typs for'the two rernaining ‘authorized’ dread- noughts, while experiménts aré being made with a view to their protéction vnder the water against the subma- rine torpedo, which has proven so deadly in the present Huropean war.” ‘The launching of this big dread- nought,” Mr. Daniels added, 'is an event which tells better than can be spoken by any words the steady and crderly growth of the navy.:. Within the past year I have had the pleas- ure ' of witnessing at Quincy - the Jaunching of the Nevada, at-Camden of the Oklahoma, and at Newport News of the Pennsylvania, and now today of the Arizona. This follows close upon the completion or our two latest dreadnoughts, the New York and the Texas. - To Construct California. ‘“As soon as the Arizona leaves the ways we will here begin actual con~ struetion on the California, much of ihe material for which has already Leen contracted for, ana which will be equipped with electr:c propulsion, being the first of the modern dread- noughts of any countrv to utilize this 1¢cent tested and successful new mo- live power which promises to be a revoutionary invention, It is esti- mated that by its use the oil-burning California, steaming at twelve knots, will be able to steam for eleven days ionger than a coal burning dread- nought, and that during that time she could go more than -3,000 miles further. This contemplates her using ¢nly her normal bunker supply; but ' n.iles further. In other words, the California will be able to ebout twice as far as the Wyoming.” Powerful Dreadnought First. The secretary said that the “back- | hone of the navy” is still the power- ful dreadnought, but declared the navy was. keeping abreast of prog- 1ess in, the building of submarines and destroyers. He also referred to the laying of the keel at the League Islandg navy yard today of the largest transport yet authorizea by congress land of the development ‘of the navy oyiation school at Pensacola.
