NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, AUGUST 8, 19 16. «-vriwom, July 28.—The naval pro- gram of the United States is a modest one in the opinion of Admiral Sir Cyprian Bridge, retired, one of En- land’s greatest naval experts and counsellers. Admiral Bridge was formerly commander in chiet of the Australian forces and director of na- val intelligence. Since his retirement he has served on numerous commis- sions inquiring into various branches of naval activity. I cannot,” said Admiral Bridge, “regard the naval appropriation and the program agreed upon by the United States senate as more than modest, considered in connection with your resources and requirements, or when we remember that the strength of the police force should be com- mensurate with the treasures that tempt. “The action of your government seems timely. I have been one of those who consider the Panama Canal as an even greater asset for defen- sive purposes than for commercial advantage, and I believe that a larger naval program for your country c tainly is justified by the inability to place perfect confidence in the canal's availability on account of slides now and then. I refer, of course, to the emergency of transferring your ships quickly from one side of your contin- ent to other in case of attack, bear- ing in mind the wisdom of your be- ing able to concentrate on both sides, until the problem of attack. It ap- pears that your naval experts have duly considered this point in making provision for 157 additional ships, in- cluding sixteen capital ships, in a program to be completed within the next three years. With your present strength such an addition will indeed place your power on the sea next to that of Britain. Time to Increase Force. “I think it was in about 1906 or 1907 that your country attained to second place as a sea power, after proceeding neck and neck with Ger- and France, respectively, for a number of years. Then the United States seemed to lose interest and fell behind Germany. It must, thercfore, be a wise precaution for you to plan now on such a wholesome scale, “Notwithstanding some divergence of opinion on the subject I think that it is quite safe to say that the lessons of naval engagements in the war have justified the generally ac- | cepted division into classes of fight- | ing craft—battleships, heavy and | ight cruisers, destroyers, and per- haps, submarines. I use the qualifying word with reference to submarines, because in | opinion the submarine has not | proved a very important fighting fac- tor during the present war. Perhaps contrary to popular impression, the submarine has affected only to a very slight degree the tonnage available for the maritime purposes of the (n-l tente. Notwithstanding this fact the possibility of the development of the submarine must not be left out of account. “It- would accordingly seem wise to consider very carefully whether the | huge dimensions of the latest capital ships are compatible with the pos- sible employment in the near future of highly developed submarines. “I understand it is now possible to control the fire of ships in groups, a fact not considered possible a few years ago. The beliet in its impossi- bility was the reason for the concen- tration of so many guns of huge cal- ibre in a single ship, thus necessitat- ing mammoth displacements. If the fire of groups of ships can be satis- tactorily controlled, that reason con- sequently no longer exi “The size and power of individual guns, therefore, need not be reduced, and if the same calibers are retained somewhat smaller ships might each carry a reduced number of guns. The number of guns of any desired cal- iber in a fleet might remain the same as the number of ships could be in- creased. of ships in groups does away with the supposed necessity of putting very heavy increasing displacements and offering, consequently, an easier tar- get for the torpedo. My point is the well recognized one that what is to Le effected in a fight is the concen- trated volume of fire, which is said to be po: ble now without the close concentration of the guns themselves. Lessons From Jutland Battle. “Coming to the lesson of the Battle of Jutland, the most striking result, to my mind, was that the guns and not the torpedoes, were, generally speaking, the weapons that told. It Iso of remarkable interest to note he considerable period during which our ships were in action without being damaged by the Ger- ich seems to confirm Ada rragut’s dictum that the best armor is the return fire. Of our ships the Marlborough was the only one that suffered from torpedo attack. and she kept fighting, and made out so well that she was able to retura | to her base at twenty-one Kknots. What the actual German 1 es were Ly torpedoes we do not know defi- itely, though our destroyers were whing forward to the foe constant- during the engagement and they ve been cffective in several instances. The point is that it was gun battle. “In addition to the classes entioned, I take it that your ap- propriation will cover the construc- tion of special craft, such as mother ships, mine ers and hos- and possibly even naval sidering the large num- of shipbuilding yord at vour yosal, it would seem j:lausible that vou could, without inconvenience, l turn out the sixteen capital ships re- of ships “The possibility of the fire control | U.S. NAVAL PROGRAM MODEST, DECLARES ENGLISH EXPERT Admiral Sir Cyprian Bridge, Retired, Believes We Should Spurt Now to Regain Prestige on the Ocean program in And if the s ferred to in your specified three years. seems little ground to fear but what in the three vears the other vess called for could be completed. to the guns, it would appear that they would be the least pressing portion of your problem, though they will have to proceed in taking form even more rapidly.” HUGHES SHAMED BY DEMOCRATS’ RECORD Republican Candidate Launches Opening Attack o Campaign Detroit, Aug. 8—Charles E. Hughes, in the first set speech on his trans- continental trip, at Detroit, Mich., last night assailed the administration vig- orously for its foreign policy, its Mexican policy; for ap- pointing men whom he termed in- experienced to diplomatic posts and for what he characterized as ‘“a raid upon the civil service of the United States.” ‘““He kept us out of war,” Mr. Hughes said, referring to the president and a democratic campaign slogan. “Yet we seized Vera Cru That was war—very ignoble war. And it was called war over the bodies of those dead soldiers; it was called a war of service. “Talk about what is our What is the president's policy—does any one know? Has the executive ever had a policy for more than months on the Mexican question? i repeat, who knows today what the policy of the administration will be three months hence? My friends, the trouble is that this administration has written such a record that no matter what it says vou do not know whether it will stick to it. ‘““We have had an exhibition during the past three years which, I con- fess, fills me with a deep sense of shame.

Foreign Polic; Mr. Hughes assailed the administra- tion’s course toward upholding Amer- ican rights abroad during the Eurc- pean war. “When I say that I am an American citizen,” the nomince said, “I ought to say the proudest thing that any man can say in this world. But you can’t have that pride if American citizenry is a cheap thing; if it is not worthy of protection this wide world over. There is no man who could successfully present to an American community the platform that an American citizen’s rights stop at the coastline and that beyond that American life is to be the prey of any marauder that chooses to take it.” The nominee cited the republican platform’s declaration that 30,000 gov- ernment positions had been taken from the operation of the civil-serv- ice law during the present administra- tion and declared that ‘“sort of thing has got to stop.” He told of an in- stance where, he said, ‘‘an eminent scientist” in the coast and geodetic survey,” a man of ‘very eminent rank” had been ‘“displaced to make l Hughes a: teen could be finished, as stated, there | | a man | ing party of their own he never would room for an excellent stockbrecder | and veterinary surgeomn.” Tt eral trade commission, Mr. Hugh charged “was fairly emasculated with the law by the men, for the most part who were appointed to places upon it.” It was ‘‘inexcusable,” Mr. erted, for the administra- tion to take out “in country after country in Latin America where we have frequently said we desired to cultivate the most friendly relations,” men in the diplomatic service “who had represented the country Wwith credit and had acquired an admirable and important experience,” and ‘‘but in men utterly inexperienced.” “If we are to have a sccretary of state,” Mr. Hughes declared, “we want who will stand before the world as a man of learning, of skill, of experience, of power.” MILITIAMEN THANK JUNIOR MECHANICS Money Sent to Nogales Goes Into General Mess Fund PRIVATE BRAIN PROMOTED Sergeant Griffin Comes Into Nogales Camp With First Rattlesnake Story That Company I Men Have Heard— Other Notes.
