NEW YORK, Jan. 14.—On the |last day of May, {

1916, the greatest naval battle

Naval Critic |

of modern times was fought—

the Battle of Jutland. It was the result of an accidental

encounter of the concentrated British and German fleets in|!

the North Sea.

The British lost 6097 men; the Gervais, 2545.

British lost three battle cruisers, threp armored cruisers,

and eight destroyers. The Ger-| mans lost one pre-dreadnaught battleship, one battlecruiser, four light cruisers and five

destroyers.

The larger losses of the British caused the Germans to claim a victory, but the British Grand Fleet maintained the upper hand in the North Sea until the end of the war, never being challenged afterwards by the Germans. Had the German fleet delivered a k n o ckout blow, Germany would shave won the “war. nn Is another Battle of Jutland #8 possibility today? Can Germany send to sea a striking force capable of overwhelming a part of the British navy, and =o deplete Britain’s naval fighting power that the control of the seas might pass to the Axis powers? ‘The German fleet today consists of two 35,000-ton battleships, two 26,500-ton battlecruisers, two pocket _battleships, two 8-inch gun cruisers, five 6-inch gun cruisers, with proonate destroyers to guard such L a fleet. Besides Germany has prob- \ ably 100 or more submarines.

a British Concerned

" The British fleet is greatly con- - eerned over the possibility of the invasion of the British Isles, and has, in all probability, disposed its naval forcés to the best advantage for that contingency. Yet, it is more than likely that Great Britain is holding a concentrated force‘of warships in the vicinity of the North Sea capable of successfully fighting thé combined German warship strength, that is now inactive in German naval bases. German success in an action be- ~ tween the German fleet and a British naval force would be so advantageous to Germany at this criti cal stage of the war that Hitler ~ might take the risk of such a move as would be entailed in a sortie with this German force, hoping to catch the British unprepared to meet such an emergency. The Italian navy in the Mediterranean appears to be held in check by British warships in that sea. Little help can be expected by Hitler from this source at present. The French fleet not in the hands of the British is formidable, and might by acquired by Hitler. If Hitler carn obtain these ships, together wtih some of the Italian warships, he might, with the help of German personnel, organize a force that could co-operate with the German fleet in an action to the south- , ward 6f the English Channel off the coast of France. Here, this combined fleet. could be assisted by thousands of airplanes from airfields in France. There may be a second Jutland, provided Hitler is willing to run the risk of an entire annihilation of this fleet. If a victory could be achieved by Germany, she would wipe out the onus of Jutland and be on the fair road to the command of the North Atlantic Ocean.

Dearborn Urges Education

In State's

By EARL HOFF Bolstered by leading state edu- . gators, a move has been launched to obtain free educational facilities for nine Hoosier tuberculosis sanatoriums. The campaign, headed by R. J. Dearborn, principal of the Rehabilitation Department of the Marion County Sunnyside Sanatorium, seeks to amend the State Constitution, which, by a recent Attorney General’s ruling, now bars sanatoriums from receiving state educational aid. Mr. Dearborn points out in a letter mailed to all State legislators that the ban is an unfair penalty on children who are hospitalized in a sanatorium. The Indianapolis Public Schools provide teachers for children in Riley and City Hospitals. Restrictions to safeguard public school funds specify the number of subjects taught, a minimum of pupils and a minimum of average hours of attendance each day. . “Sanatoriums cannot always meet these conditions, because the first requirement with us in the safegusIling, of the pupils’ physical and the limiting of his eine to what he is able to stand without too great hazard to his health,” Mr. Dearborn said. In addition, he declared, it is necessary for the Sunnyside pupils to spend most of their time in bed. ~ “gchool corporations cannot send * teachers outside their boundaries and children cannot gain a residence ‘o:her than that of their parents. Thus there is no one mandated to _ gee that they get their constitutional _ right to an education,” Mr. Dear-

Mr. Lake, mow 74 and still en-||

laboratory here, wrote the President: “It is generally recognized, I believe, that I built the first practical submarine. I would now like the opportunity to provide an antidote for the deadly thing which I let loose on the world, by building cargo-carrying submarines. “They are just as practical as those for military , and will immediately end the effectiveness of the military-type submarine as an enemy of peaceful commerce.

Fears German Victory

“I hope I am wrong, but it is my opinion that unless some means are found to break the submarine blockade of Great Britain the war will be won by Germany. We will be unable to do anything about it because it will be impossible to get supplies and munitions to the English to enable them to continue the war. “I sometimes wonder that those in charge of our national defense cannot see this, for it is written plainly in the records of sea losses since the present war started. In building ships to break the submarine blockade, why not build ships which cannot be sunk by submarines? The only vessels in that classification are other submarines.”

Cost of $2,000,000 Each

Some maritime” commission officials, Mr. Lake said, were agreed on the engineering feasibility ‘ot cargo-carrying submarines but have questioned their value on economic grounds—although conceding that an emergency might overrule such

doubts. He said his stydies have

shown that submarines can be built as cheaply as surface vessels, capacity considered. He said he could build submarines of ahout 400 to 450 feet in length, carrying 7500 tons of cargo, at not more than $2,000,000 each. But, he added, even if submarines should cost slightly more {han suriace vessels, their greater value could hardly be questioned if they proved superior in getting through blockades. Mr. Lake pointed to the heavy toll of British shipping as an argument for immediate action. Mr. Lake's plans are expected to be given a hearing soon by the Maritime Commission and the naval committees of Congress. Reading Jules Verne inspired Mr. Lake to experiment with submarines more than 50 years ago, and he launched his first, the Argonaut, in 18917.
