Bn SEA Service urrjJASHINGTON, May 31. If a |\X/| flat, unqualified comparison A * " I of war lieets must be made, naval officers agree that about the only possible thing is a comparison by tons. It’s misleading because the “ifs” and “ands” and “buts” count more than the total tonnage figures do. For instance, except by some extraordinary stroke of luck, 200,0d0 tons in destroyers wouldn't stand a chance against half or a third that tonnage in first-class battleships. On the other hand, a 35,000-ton battleship, alone, far from home and out of fuel and ammunition, might be sent to the bottom by a 1,000-ton submarine. Still a comparison by tons does give some basis to draw certain conclusions. Counting capital ships, high speed light cruisers under ten years old, destroyers and flotilla leaders, airplane carriers and fleet and coast defense submarines, built or build-
MARBLE CHAMP OFF TO COMPETE INBMRNEY Kennard Ong En Route to Atlantic City—To Visit Historical Points. He’s off: Smiling, happy and resolved to bring further honors to Indianapolis, Kennard Ong, 13, of 2361 Park Ave., city marble champion of Indianapolis. left at 7:45 a. m. today for Atlantic City. With the champion went the hopes and good wishes of hundreds of his Shortridge schoolmates and a host of friends. Kennard will arrive in Philadelphia, Pa., at 4:54 a. m., Sunday. At 9 a. m. he will join fifty-three marble champs from other cities and participate in a tour of Valley Forge. The tour will be made on foot, so every champ will have an opportunity to see and ask questions about everything of interest. , On Special Train Late Sunday a special train will carry th** champions to Atlantic City, where they will play the national games. Final games will be held June 7. An elaborate program has been arranged for the boys upon their return to Philadelphia. Headed by Harlin McOiy, 1923 titleholder, and his successor, the champs will be met at the station by Brig. Gen. Smedley D. Butler, director of public safety, and the police band. They will be escorted to city hall, where they will be offclally welcomed by Mayor W. Freeland Kendrick and a number of municipal officers and distinguished citizens. Aato Tour of City An auto tour of the city will be made with the new world’s champion riding at the head of the procession in a flower bedecked machine with Mayor Kendrick at his side.

The “Catch” To be sure, non-combatant ships are essential, too. Once out of sight of some friendly port, a war fleet is absolutely dependent on such auxiliarits for munitions, fuel, supplies, repairs and much other help. This is a big “if.” Britain isn’t bothered by it, because of her great merchant marine. America has a merchant marine “of sorts.” Mostly it's too slow to keep up with a busy fleet. Just after the maneuvers of 1924 an official report said: “In one of the problems * * * the fleet speed contemplated was ten ! knots, which had to be reduced bej cause of slowness of auxiliary ships.”

For war purposes ten knots is mighty slow. Besides, at the present rate, it won’t be long before America hasn't any merchant auxiliaries at j all. The matter of auxiliaries would bulk enormously if America should become involved in war on the Pacific. Theoretically the United States outclasses Japan navally in the rai tio of 5 to 3. The tonnage figures show that, really, Japan is well on toward four-fifths of America's strength. This is quite legitimate, so far as Japan is concerned. She is perfectly entitled to keep up to the limits of the "5-5-3-1.75-1.75” agreement: it's not her fault if other parties to the armament limitation treaty choose to fall below it. Assume, however, that "5-3" actually is the ratio. Its a ratio which holds good only supposing America and Japan meet on even terms. They wouldn't do so. Japan, it’s fair to assume,

would seize the Philippines and maybe Guam and put an embargo on American trade in the Far East, all in her immediate vicinity. It’s most unlikely she would send ships east of Hawaii. Handicapped The American fleet would have to cross the Pacific to carry the fighting to Japan. She .couldn’t leave her own coasts wholly unprotected. She would have a 6,000 or 7,000-mile communication line to safeguard. All this would take many ships, which therefore wouldn't be available to put into a fight. Thus for military purposes. America’s fleet wouldn’t be twofifths stronger than Japan's. It would be lucky to break even. It’s more likely it would be ”3-5”; it might not be as well off as that. To obtain the best results, even under such adverse conditions, the American fleet, as far as it went, would have to be perfectly balanced, and each ship, in its class, would have toi be perfect/of its kind. This isn’t the case.
