board, charged with j deciding upon
the military characteristics of new
ships, disagrees with the opinion of
the high officers who have had. ex
perience overseas in te present war.
On the board are two former com
manders of the. Atlantic fleet. Rear
Admlrals'Badger and Fletcher. They
believe that the construction of both
dreadnaughts1 and battle cruisers
should conMnue.
. The difference of opinion began
.last rear when the British admiralty
proposed to alter the plans for the
battleship HoeeLto make her a com
posite battleship and battle cruiser.
Id effect, the decision was to mould
very high speed battleship, sacri
ficing gun power to some extent for
peed, but retain the defensive ar
mor of a ship of the line. The Hood
will carry eight 15-Inch rifles, full
battleship armour and have a speed
of. a little more than 30 knots an
hour. Her displacement is la excess
of 40,000 tons.
Examining the Hood design, some
officers said that the gun power of
this huge vessel was of little more
than half of the broadside weight of
the new American dreadnaughts car
rylnT twelve 16-Inch guns. Some
officers have estimated that to get
men gun power in a shin that would
aproach a 30 knot speed and at the
same time carry full battleship pro
tection would require a 53.000 ton
hip of about 900 foot length, the
cost of which would be not less than
140.000.000.
One effect, it was said, of the
adoption of the cruiser battleship
program would be to render- obso
lete all German battleships. The
speed of these new type vessels
( would be useless In individual ships,
officers said, and to construct an
entire fleet of them would present
a stupendous cost.

cials. Secretary Daniels and his aides

Contracts for battle cruisers were
awarded-In March 1917. but in the
case of most plants it was necessary
to boild new ships for their construe
tlon,. Before these were .completed
available shipbuilding facilities were

The information furnibhed by Mr.
Lamar coincides to an extent with
the statements reiterated today by
Raymond Robins, former head of
the American Red Cross mission in
Russia, when he again appeared be
fore the committee, primarily to an
swer statements concerning him
made Saturday by David R. Francis.
American ambassador to Russia.
Mr. Robins insisted that it was
the desire of the Bolshevik! to over
throw all the governments of the
world and in 'their place set up ter
roristic governments similar to those
in Russia. He said he did not know
of his own knowledge that - Bolshe
vists from Russia actually were en
gaged in trying to accomplish this
purpose in the United States, but
that he was convinced certain people
here were engaged In propagating
Bolshevist ideas.
The I. W. W., he added, "has been
doing it for twenty years.
Turning to Ambassador Francis's
testimony last Saturday, Mr. Robins
denied that he had gone to the head
quarters of the Bolshevists in Pe-
trograd; asked about their princi
ples and indicated his approval of
them. He also denied that Re had
ever pretended to represent the
Russia. Am
ine committee
he bad heard Mr. Robins spoken of
in Moscow as the mouthpiece of the
American government and as a con
sequence the ambassador thought it
wise to make a public announcement
that statements coming from sources
other than the American embassy
were not authorized.
Mr. Robins submitted to the com
mittee copies of cablegrams which he
said passed between Ambassador
Francis and the state department
and telegrams and letters which he
asserted were sent by the ambassa
dor. The witness explained that his
purpose In offering these documents
was to show that at all times his re
lations with the ambassador were
valued and cordial, and that he was
authorized by Ambassador Francis to
maintain contact . with the Bolshevists.
