Washington, Feb, 26.—Japan by 1916 will have wrested the position of third naval power from the United States, and this country will have difficulty im maintaining itself in fourth place un= less it builds two battleships a year, Secretary Meyer said this was a faok during his testimony today before the house naval affairs committee. The secretary urged greater liberality by congress in dealing with the naval es« tablishment. Mr, Meyer asked also for an appros priation of $1,000,000 to establieh an around-the-globe wireless system, by which American warships could keep in constant touch with Washington, wWith their bases and with each other, The committee is pledged to econ= omy, and although appropriations foe battieships: have not been acted up= on, many members are said to be in< ned not to support the caucus which lded against a two battleship pro= Tramme. The suggestion as to wire: | less it is not believed will be agreed to for reasons of economy, The secretary told the committee that even with the construction of two battleships a year the United States in four years would be forced to drop behind Japan in the naval scale. If only one ship a year be built, he suid, the country would find itself outstripped by Great Brite ain, Germany, France and Japan. As part of the general naval organ~ ization scheme, the secretary suggest- ed the abandonment of the nayy yards at New York, Boston and Portsmouth, N. H., provided $24,000,000 could be Tealized from their sale. In place of abandoned vards, the new plan con~ templates one great yard in Narra« ganeett, bay, aonther at Norfolk, & torpedo station at Charleston, and & smal] vard at Key West. The latter would be in the natuye of an auxil jary to the naval base at Guantanas mo. The secretary strongly advocated the creation of the grade of admiral on the active list, Wwith the creation of two vice admirals, TO SAVE DEPARTMENT FROM BEING DISGRACED Why Engineer's Report on Fleride Everglades Land Was Suppressed. ‘Washington, Feb, 26—Fears that W would “diggrace and dlscredit” the government's drainage engineers prompted the holding up of the report on the Florida Everglades lands, acs cording to Arthur E.
