that It could not be resisted, or tha club
had decided that a change was necessary,

Admiral Badger advised the naval com
mittee that the United States should fol
low the example of Oermany and Great
Britain In creating a naval reserve of
officers and men who served In the navy.
He Insisted that battleships should not ba
satisfied to increase the number of sub
marines. Plied with. Oaestloa.
The admiral waa piled with questions.
Members of the committee were t artlcu-
larly anxious to know whjr the German
neet waa permitted to remain bottled up
In Its own harbor.. Tha admiral paid that
aa long as the German fleet was bottled
up It was performing no useful purpose
and therefore It was unnecessary for the
enemy to bring about an engagement.
He said probably no commander-in-chief
of a fleet would subject his ships to the
attacks of a great fort or to the danger
of submarine mines as a preliminary to
fighting with another battle fleet, as It
would mean running the risk of going Into
an engagement In a damaged condition.
Accomplishing- Porpose.
The Influence of the British fleet, he
added, was such that without firing a
gun It had accomplished Its purpose of
driving German commerce off the sess,
of Insuring safe transportation of tha En
glish army to the continent and of pro
tecting neutral trafe with England.
Admiral Badger expressed the opinion
that It would be a mistake to station sub
marine craft at any particular ports along
the Atlantic or Pacific or gulf for coast
defense, saying that handling the sub
marines aa flotillas rather than aa sepa
rated coast defenses would make for
greater efficiency. He added that while
opinions differed aa to the number of
submarines necessary for protection of
the Insular possessions and for coast de
fense, he regarded 100 submarines alto
gether as adequate. He' wanted these to
be of different classes, the seagoing as
well as the smaller ones for shore opera
tions. Listens Kaaerly. .
The committee listened eagerly to the
admiral's account of testa made by the
aircraft scouts of the Atlantic fleet It
Was demonstrated, he said. In the Car
rlbean Sea and at Guantanamo that an
airship could locate a submarine mine
submerged to a depth of fifty feet. He
declared that approximately the same re
sults could ba obtained anywhere In tha
ocean, or where there were no rivers to
muddy the water.
The admiral dwelt upon the efficiency
of . the American warships. He said in
tHo Atlantic fleet every gun waa fired
twenty times a. year In target practice.
Rear Admiral Fletcher, who succeeded
Admiral Badger In command of the At
lantic fleet, gave some supplementary
testimony. He will be on the stand aa a
wltnesa tomorrow, when Secretary Dan
iels Is expected to be before the committee.
