WASHINGTON, Dec 9. The ability
f the American Navy to meet success
fully the war fleets of any nation in
the world except Great Britain was as
serted today by Rear-Admiral Fletcher,
commander-in-chief of the Atlantic
fleet, before the House naval affairs
committee.
Frankly admitting: the overwhelming
superiority, of Britain's sea force, the
Admiral said the possibility of conflict
between the United States and Great
Britain was so remote that he did not
believe in a naval policy for this coun
try designed to control the ocean a
against England
German Superiority In Sijcht.
Admiral Fletcher was under exami
nation all day by the committee at the
first public hearing on a naval appro
priation bill held in many years. He
was plied with questions about the
conditton of the Navy, judged by les
sons of the European war, and in the
course of the day made many refer
ences to Great Britain, Germany, Rus
sia. Japan and the Philippines.
Although confidently, declaring that
the American Navy was overmatched
only by that of England, he added that
if this countrty continued to build only
two battleships a year, Germany on the
basis of her present construction pro
gramme soon would be far in the lead.
Japan Wot Keared on Sea.
Asked specifically about the Philip
Vines, the Admiral would not say that
the American fleet alone could success
fully defend Hawaii and the Philip
pines in a conflict with Japan, though
there was no doubt in hia mind of the
ability of this Nation to control the
seas in a naval conflict with Japan.
Ultimate naval success. Admiral
Fletcher contended, still rested with
dreadnoughts, and he asserted that
submarines would not seriously affect
the "vital principles'" of naval warfare.
He admitted, however, that from a for
eign navy standpoint it was possible to
send submarines across the Atlantic to
attack warships on the American coast.
In the event of war. he said, all Amer
ican battleships available could be
made ready for action within a week.
Sntmarlna Will Be Equipped.
Admiral Fletcher said the latest
American submarines were not
equipped with the most modern torpe
does, but they would be. In answering
Representative Kelly, of Michigan, he
said it would be a remarkable thing
if the eight or ten submarines author
ised 14 years ago were as efficient now
a they were then.
"What is the purpose of having this
armament, these 49 or 45 big warships
that we have?" demanded Represen
tative Butler, of Pennsylvania.
"To protect your interests, and par
ticularly your commercial Interests on
the sea," replied Admiral Fletcher.
"What nation is there that we are
not prepared to resist successfully?"
asked Representative Wltherspoon.
"Not one on earth, is there?"
"I think there is." said Admiral
Fletcher.
"Which one?" demanded Witherspoon.
Knglnnd Can Easily Control.
I should say that England has a
navy so much more powerful than any
nation that she could easily keep con
trol of the seas."
"Well, are there any other nations
that we could not successfully resist?"
"X do not think that we need fear any
other nation."
"Assuming." Representative Wither
spoon continued after a series of ques
tions tending to show that the five
latest warships built or building were
larger than England's latest five ships,
"that England should send against us
more ships than we have; assuming
that our ships were superior, that the
marksmanship of our men was supe
rior, would your assumption that Eng
land could whip us then be true?"
"Well," Admiral Fletcher replied,
"considering all the circumstances and
conditions of the two fleets, their rela
tive strength aud the number of 'ships
brought against us. I should say yes."
Tea," interjected Mr. Wltherspoon.
"but. I didn't ask you to consider all
tho3 things."
Everything to Be Considered,
"In my answer concerning the com
parative power of the navies," Ad
miral Fletcher resumed, "I consider all
those things necessary to be consid
ered, the number of ships, the number
of guns. armor. marksmanship and
everything practical to consider."
"Then I understand from your state
ment." said Mr. Wltherspoon, "that
you want us to understand that Eng
land is the only nation on earth that
has a navy that we could not success
fully resist?"
"I think that Is a fair conclusion,"
aid the Admiral.
. Knr,H,ntntlr Willi. mm Af Tl 1 1 .wit
asked the Admiral if he thought the
United States could resist Japan if the
" fleet had to defend Hawaii and the
Philippines in their waters.
"That is a question, of course, that
is exceedingly difficult to answer,
replied the Admiral. "I think that our
more powerful fleet could keep control
of the seas as against Japan. But as
to the ability of the fleet alone to de
fend the Philippines would depend
great deal on conditions. I wouldn't
nay that the fleet alone could do it."
Philippine Isaiue Avoided.
"Well, if our 40 battleships cannot
defend the Philippines," Representa
tive Wltherspoon interrupted, "don't
you think it would be a good thing for
us to get rid of the Philippines?"
"That is a question of policy which
I cannot answer." replied the Admiral
smilingly.
"Suppose we are called upon to de
fend the Monroe Doctrine," suggested
Chairman Padgett, "the conditions
would bo different than in defending
our own shores, would they not?"
"Yes. we would be operating entire
ly under different conditions," replied
the Admiral. "Conditions would be
more difficult because of conditions
far distant in the seas.
"Do you believe." asked Representa
tive Gray, "that we at the present time
should increase our Navy so that we
should control the seas?"
"I see no necessity for adopting that
policy at the present time," replied the
. Admiral.
War With England Not Feared.
"If we had a conflict with any na
tion." the Admiral continued, after a
moment's reflection, "wo would nat
urally provide against conditions which
had to be met. You make provision for
defense proportionate to the probability
ot future . condition. . . Otherwise the
til
UK All-ADMIRAL FRANK V. FLETCHER.
only solution is that we must make a
Navy to whip the world. Provieion for
defense must be tempered with some
policy of judgment. I do not think that
anybody ever considers the conflicting
interests between England and the
United States have been at all serious,
or that there is any probability that
they will. Our interests are too much
in common."
"Then we don't have to build against
England, in your opinion?" suggested
Mr. Gray.
"That is right." was the Admiral's
answer.
"What nations then do you think we
do have to build against and T'
The question was unfinished. Chair
man Padgett and several other mem
bers objected. The chairman said he
thought the question Improper.
Germany Woald Soon Lead.
Answering further questions. Admir
al Fletcher said that if the German
regular building programme were car
ried out and the United States contin
ued to build only two battleships a
year, Germany would have more mod
ern battleships than the United States
in 1919.
"It would be difficult for us to have
a building programme that would war
rant us to hope to catch up with Ger
many," he added.
Representative Hobson suggested
that there were more nations to be
considered than - Germany, and added
that the fact that England had no great
standing army behind the fleet put
England out or the category as a mili
tary nation..
Admiral Fletcher said the tendency
among the world powers was to elimi
nate all pre-dreadnoughts as fast' as
possible from the real lists of fight
ing ships of the navies. "The Ameri
can pre-dreadnoughts," he asserted,
"are superior to the German pre-dreadnoughts."
Representative Kelly, of Michigan,
read from a list to show that Germany
has 19 dreadnoughts and seven battle
cruisers, making 26 of this type, while
the United States had 14 dreadnoughts
and two more authorized.
Forts Protect New York.
Replying to a question of Mr. Rob
erts. Admiral Fletcher declared that,
even if a foreign nation should have a
gun with a range one and a half miles
greater than that of any American
gun. New Yorkcity would be pro
tected from bombardment by the forts
outside of SandyjjMook.
Representative Roberts suggested
that a United States Senator whom he
did not name, had been quoted as sav
ing that the American forces had been
given 24 hours to get out of Vera
CruE by the Carranza authorities.' Ad
miral Fletcher said he knew nothing of
any such Incident.
"Would you Include the Massachu
setts. Oregon, Indiana and Iowa for use
in war?" he was asked.
"I would Include everything that I
could bring into action."
He admitted he was in doubt as to
what use might be made of these four
ancient battleships in the event of war,
but said: "You could find some use for
them."
Modern Wars Come Suddenly.
"Modern wars," the Admiral contin
ues, "come on suddenly and there is
little time for preparation -when they
occur.. After the relations between
countries have become strained you can
not move your forces without the
move being regarded as hostile act.
and you would have to go Into action
practically just as you stand. You
would have to be all ready."
The Admiral said the United States
had been behind the times in the de
velopment of aircraft and submarine
mines, though he would not say that
as to submarines. He thought it would
te wise to have a liberal appropriation
this year for submarine mines,' aeria4
craft, "and auxiliary weapons of that
character.
. Representative Roberts plied the wit
ness with questions regarding the
mobilization of the Atlantic fleet after
withdrawal from the Mexican waters.
Admiral Fletcher said the largest num
ber of battleships in Mexican waters at
any time was 18, with b!x or seven
cruisers.
"What was the military necessity of
keeping all those ships there when the
port was occupied by the American
authorities and there was no Mexican
fleet?" asked Mr. Roberts.
' "I'd rather not answer that question.'
replied the Admiral.
"You have today 21 effective battle
ships?" "Yes."
"If you received orders to prepare for
war. how long would It take you?'
asked Mr. Roberts.
"in emergency," replied the Admiral,
some vessels would be made ready to
day. others tomorrow and all within i
week. We have some in the Navy-yards
undergoing repairs, but they could
rendezvous within that time."
Admiral Fletcher denied reports that
the American ships were improperly
handled by being too close together at
era Cruz, and said that if "collision
quarters" were sounded on any ship
he had never heard of it, and it was
improbable. When asked about the ef
feet of reaching out for South American
trade, he replied that if the United
States did that, and had interests that
conflict with other nations, "the United
States must have an adequate fleet."

There will be no eugenics and child
welfare exhibit at the State Fair next
Fall, according to action taken at the
meeting of the State Fair Board. .The
board decided instead to pnt in a day
nursery for taking care of the chil
dren of visitors at the fair, it being
the consensus of opinion that the pub
lic would in that way be served much
better. The eugenics department,
which is thus done .away with, has
been a feature of the fair for the past
three years.
Superintendents were chosen for the
various departments of the fair as fol
lows:
Livestock. R. W. Hogg. Salem: pavil
ion, O. E. Freytag, Oregon City; dairy.

seph M. Rieg, of Portland, was chosen
to have charge of the Oregon Manu
facturers' exhibit.
The financial statement submitted by
tranR Meredith, secretary, showed
net balance to the credit of the fair
fund of $3121.46. as against a balance
of J4286.4S in December, 1913. That is
but a slight loss, which is considered
insignificant considering the weather
conditions during fair week and the
financial depression.
The report shows receipts from all
sources were S41.118.07 and expendi
tures S38.423.3S, leaving on December
1, 1914, a balance of 15982.14 in the
hands of the State Treasurer. There is
a total indebtedness of 42860.68 against
the new pavilion, due contractors for
heating, plumbing and lighting. This
leaves a net balance of 13121 with
which to commence the fiscal year's
worn, witn only a few small bills un
paid.
Of the financial eondition of the fair
Mr. Meredith said: "The state fair did
not succeed as well financially In 1914
as in the preceding year, owing both
to the financial depression and the
rainy weather. However, the result
should be a source of gratification.
when taking into consideration the
fact that nearly every one of the North
pacinc ralrs sustained severe losses.
The new pavilion Is shown to have
cost J63.062.67. The 1913 Legislature
appropriated $60,000 for its erection.
The amount over the appropriation
had to be covered from the general
tuna or the lair.
In addition to the standing appropri
ation of 115,000 for premiums the board
decided to ask the Legislature for the
following appropriations: For the
erection of a livestock coliseum. $123.

WASHINGTON, Dec 9. That ' the
United States Army be Immediately re
cruited to its full war strength, which
would mean the addition ot 25,000 men
and 1000 officers, is urged by Secretary
Garrison, of the War Department, in
his annual report presented today to
President Wilson.
Such an Increase would give the reg
ular Army a total of about 120.000 men,
of whom 50.000 would be available as
a mobile fighting force in the Conti
nental United ' States. The present
mobile strength of 31,000, the Secretary
points out, soon will be cut in half by
additions to the garrisons in the canal
sone, Hawaii and the Philippines.
In addition to strengthening the reg
ular establishment, the . Secretary 1
urges that steps be taken at once to
create a more adequate reserve army.
He dismisses as impracticable talk ot
mmediate disarmament and as ground- i
less fears of militarism in America.
Total Force la 14JWKW.
The present full war strength of the
United States Is summarised by the
report as follows:
"The organized militia of the vari
ous states totals 8323 officers and 119,-
087 men. If all of the National Guard
c.ould be summoned In the event ot
war and should all respond (an Incon
ceivable- result), and if they were all
found fairly efficient in the first line
that is, the troops who would be ex
pected Immediately to take the field
we could summon a force in this coun
try of regulars and National Guard
amounting to 9818 officers and 148.492
men. (This would include only regu
lars of fighting force stationed in the
United 6tates proper.)
And this is absolutely all. The only
other recourse would then be volun
teers, and to equip, organize, train and
make them ready would take, at the
smallest possible estimate, six months."
Of the . efficiency of the present
Army, Mr. Garrison says:
While our existing organization Is
of the exceedingly small numbers al
ready mentioned, it is unquestionably
in as excellent condition as any similar
number of men In any other military
establishment in the world. Were it
not for a desire to avoid invidious
comparisons 1 should say that man for
man. it is better than any similar ex
isting military establishment in the
world." . . .
Mobile Strength to Decrease. .
After enumerating the vast areas of
continental United States and those of
our other territorial responsibilities
which must be considered," the report
says the total strength of the Army
June 30, 1914, was 94,482. Of this num
ber 30,890 were available as a mobile
force in continental United States, the
rest being employed In the Philippines,
Hawaii or the Canal Zone or comprise
ins hospital, quartermasters, or other
auxiliary services. In the near future.
he report states, additional forces will
be - sent to the Canal Zone and else
where, reducing the mobile force on
the continent, exclusive of coast artil
lery. to 24,600 men. Even with thi
increased force there. Secretary Garri
son declares, the Panama garrison will
be inadequate in his opinion.
A table of the 13 leading countries
of the world showing area, population.
peace strength of the Army and the
total trained war strength is included
in the report. It discloses that with
an area and population surpassed only
by Great Britain and her colonies and
by Russia, the United States stands
tenth in the peace footing of her Army
and 12th in trained reserves.
Belgium Oaly Is Ixwer.
Against Russia's 4.500,000 trained
men. the United States has 225.000, in
eluding the Philippine .Scouts; and
Belgium, with 180,000 - is the only na
tion below that figure. Switzerland,
next above, has 275.000, Japan -1,200,000.
The present legislation with respect
to a reserve has proven utterly useless
for the purpose, it having produced in
24 months only 16 men, and there Is
little or no hope that it will ever prop
erly accomplish its purpose. The rea
sons why it will not do so it is not
profitable to discuss.
"I am firmly convinced that If we
can use the standing Army as a school
through which to pass men who come
into it, with the knowledge that if they
are proficient they can be discharged
at any time after a year or IS months,
we will begin at once to build up the
necessary reserve, and will, for the
first time in the military history of this
country, have something approximat
ing a balanced organization.
Militia Reserve Wanted.
"I am therefore flrmly convinced that
we should have Immediate legislation
dealing with the matter of enlistment
and reserve. A practically similar pro
vision should exist in every state
which maintains an organized militia.
"I am convinced with equal firmness
that we should adopt some one or more
of the methods which have been sug
gested for the training of more civil
ians to become officers in case ot ne
cessity. The potentiality of the stu
dent military camps and of the schools
and colleges at which military train
ing is obtainable suggests a way.

the Mexican town without wounding

Mexican faction which insisted on firing
into American territory. This is the
plan of officials should warnings prove
futile.
The action of the Washington Gov
ernment constitutes a precedent for the
future and was taken to mean that
tiring into American territory from any
point along the border would be met
by similar steps. Many telegrams had
come from Governor Hunt, of Arizona,
and residents of Naco telling of the
wounds and deaths resulting from
stray bullets and at yesterday's Cabinet

mination to put an end to such occur
