A plan for fleet 'and coast defense submarine op erations In the Atlantic and the Pacific (Calling for ISi submerslbles of all 1 types, was outlined to the House Naval 'committee today by Rear-Admiral Grant, the Navy's chief of submarines. : Such a force is necessary to insure ade . quate protection, -the Admiral said, and approximately the number of boats , needed isprovided for In the Admin - istration's five-year building pro gramme. At present, the committee was told 'the United States has just 27 subma ' '. rines ready for war service: Ten other boats are laid up for repairs or over hauling: and could not be made ready for duty in less than six months, flow ; under construction or authorized are 3i submarines; including three big craft ' of the f leet-cruisina type. " '- . Thirty Dlvlaiona Contemplated. Admiral Grant's. plan contemplates .SO divisions of six submersibles each three divisions to cruise with the At Jantic fleet and two with the Pacific fleet and the remainder to work out of shore bases distributed " along the coasts. For the Atlantic Coast he pro posed the establishment of bases at .New London, Philadelphia and Norfolk, 'while for the Pacific he thought sta tions at San Diego, San Francisco and ithe Columbia River would not be too far apart. " The Admiral reiterated his belief that no boats of less than 750 to 800 tons surface displacement should be built in the future. The most efficient Ger man U-boats, he said, were of that . tiize. He urged also that no additional fleet pubmarines of the 1200-ton type be built . ountit the Schley, the first of these, had ueen tried out. Representative Roberts, of Massachu setts, carried the' Admiral through long line of questions to establish his opinion of the American-built boats ap- Jrroximating the Navy H class, now In I me ormsn service. Larger Boats Still Advocated. Admiral Grant said the fact that these boats had been able to cross the At lantic under their own power did not 'influence him to change his mind as ' to the size future American subma '. ; rines should be. The task of submerg ing a longer boat, such as the 800-ton craft, was a delicate one, he admitted, tsnd more complicated than handling the H boats, but the advantages of the , larger craft more than outweighed this tin his mind. - Representative Stephens, of California.- asked If Admiral Grant thought , the Pacific Coast to be adequately defended. i' "Isn't it true that there are only three -submarines to defend the whole Pa ' fcific Coast?" he asked. . "That is true." Admiral Grant said. "How many do you think that there ! Should be in order to defend it fully?" "Forty-eight." - ; "Do you think it would beadequately .defended if the proposed submarine 'bases were established as far -apart . as San Diego and San Francisco and San Francisco and the Columbia ;iver7' , "I do." y, HyrO Coasts Far Different Then why Is It necessary. In your , opinion, to nave more bases propor- i tionateiy on the Atlantic Coast?" "Because I think our strategic enemy . , -would be met In the Atlantic. J Is a material difference between the i two coasts. Admiral Grant pointed out that with three effective mobile submarines on the Pacific Coast and four more at Honolulu, there would be more of the -. .avanaDie iorce engaged in the Pa- iciflo than in protecting the Atlantic. : where, he said, only five of these mo- Bile boats were stationed. Representative Stephens said he had ' reference to the whole question of na val protection, battleships, cruisers, 'destroyers -And other craft, as well as I submarines. The Admiral replied that jie would not ducusa questions of ; naval policy in that regard, as other . officers in the department bad charge , or sucn matters. To illustrate the differences of sub merging quickly a boat 315 feet lone. such as the proposed 25-knot steam . submarines. Admiral Grant said that 4f It was attempted to aend them down at an angle of 30 degrees the boats would be 150 feet below the surface w ith the stern still on top. Of course, he added, they never would be sent tiown except at an angle of a few de 'grees and would submerge virtually on an even keel. An error in case of pressing emergency. however. he pointed out. might send one down so the bow would be crushed by the pres .sure ot the water before the Ktern would be out of sight.

DAY Early Search for Bodies Expected Following Installation of Huge Fan to Blow Out Gas Three Other Works -Suspend. BUTTE. Mont.. Feb. 15. The known ead in the Anaconda Copper Mining Company's Pennsylvania mine remained at nine tonight. Twelve miners still are missing and practically all hope for their safety has been abandoned because of the dense smoke and gas that permeated the upper mine levels within a few hours after the fire was discovered. Late today the fire was reported still burning. A hure ventilating: fan. with a ca- Dacitv of 55.000 cubic feet a minute installed at the air shaft has been driven since noon at top epeed. By nightfall a strong, dowy current of air was flowing- through the main shaft. indicatine that the mine was being emptied of smoke and gas. General Manager Gillie expressed his belief that at the present rate of progress it would be possible to search carefully most of the1 workings late tonight ThereH for the missing miners. Work was suspended today at the Anaconda. St. Lawrence and Mountain View mines, as well as at the Pennsyl vania. Not all work stopped at these properties, however, as crews of men were employed in strengthening the bulkheads at the opening between the mines. Men were stationed at these opnings immediately after the fire started to heln any strugglers who sought safety through those passages.

Federal Care Championed Because of local Officials' Inhumanity. Only Hope of Eradication JLies in Segregation. ' WASHINGTON. Feb. 15. More than 600 lepers at large In the United States constitute a menace of serious possi bilities unless proper steps for "segre gation are taken, in the opinion of phy sicians, nurses and others who-testified before the Senate health committee to day in support of a bill to establish a National leprosarium. The' witnesses, all of whom had made extensive personal researches on the subject, agreed that the 300 persons under treatment in the country's three state or municipal leper asylums in cluded less than one-third of the total of those afflicted. They declared that the disease was spreading rapidly, that the danger of-a serious epidemic was real and that segregation was the. first demand in the campaign against it. ' Local Inhumanities ' Charsed. It was the consensus of opinion among those who testified that about 50 lepers were at large in New Yok City, 80 in Chicago and. at least one or two in each of the larger cities throughout the country. They declared in arguing for a National asylum, that individual victims were treated in many instances with great inhumanity by lo cal Authorities interested chiefly ifi shfting the burden 'of care to some other community. -,-' . Dr. J. W. McKean, American . super intendent in charge of the leper asy lum at Chengmai, Slam, said the history o the disease showed that only by forcible segregation could it be eradi cated, and the lives of its Victims made tolerable. Epidemic Is Constant Menace. An epidemic in Europe wjiich killed thousands was ended finally, he said, by legislation forcing the victims into refuge. He added that segregation had been equally successful in Hawaii and the Philippines. The witness agreed that while a new treatment in which chp ulmoogra oil is used had proved suc cessful an eliminating the symptoms In nearly all cases, so that the victims appeared practically cured, there al ways was a danger of recrudescence. "The disease has a terrible recrudes cence." said Dr. McKean, "and we never Know what day an epiaemio win De gin." W. M.
