Washington, Dec. 13.—In asking for larger battleships in the 1918 pro- gram, Rear Admiral Badger of the general board of the navy points out that Japan today is building a larger, more powerful and swifter battleship than any now planned by the United States. This information was . laid before the house naval committee. Two Japanese ships, Admiral Badg- er said, will have a main battery of twelve fifteen-inch or sixteen-inch guns, against twelve fourteen-inch on American vessels now building, and eight sixteen-inch guns for our latest ships. Admiral Badger said the board fef it necessary that the American navy should have main batteries of twelve sixteen-inch guns, an increase of 50 per cent in gun power, and a speed of twenty-three knots an hour. Rear Admiral Fletcher of the navy board also emphasized the necessit or such increase. The new dread- naughts will displace probably more than 40,000 tons, while in the mountains yesterday more than 4,000 additional prisoners were taken.” Russian Official Report.
