SALONIKI
>
As a pawn in the game of empires be
ing played across the water, Saloniki
has attracted & great deal of attention
lately. As a quaint and unusual citv
It has hardly gotten the attention that
la it* due.
You are told of Saloniki's strategic
value, ar.-i the defenses that th» allies
are throwing up in the plains around
Tou are shown pictures taker, from
military aeroplanes gliding over the
white houses, but no one has seen fit
to mention tnat Salcniki is really a
Spanish city in the Orient. The lan-
S"uage of two-thirds of the people and
the one understood by ai!. is a form of
Spanish, and it is commonly printed in

FRIDAY EVENING,
Hebrew characters.
A great part of the population of
Saloniki is descended from the Jews
of Spain, who fled to escape the In
quisition. and the way they have clung
to the language of their lost father
land and the raernories of it is remark
able and pathetic. Children are still
told tales of the wonders of Spain, and
several of the synagogues are named
a.ter Spanish cities, it is a curious
-act that it is impossible to convince
most Oi these people that they are free
to return safely to Spain to-dav if
they will. They cling to the belief
that their religion is still anathema in
the peninsula, and go on printing their
t-anish papers in Hebrew letters and
sighing as a race in exile.
The rest of the people of Saloniki
are a hetrogeneous mass drawn from
Greece and Turkey and half the near
East. The Spanish Jew is the only
type who stamps his mark sharply and
clearly on the life of the city. After
..im. for an object of interest you must
turn to the ruins of the past, the old •
arches and gates built by the Ro
mans. looking down in austere disap
proval on the noisy and undignified
Turkish life swirling at their feet.
Saloniki Bay is a pretty sight at any
time, with its curious collection of hy
brid Eastern craft bobbing at anchor
or scouting about. And to-day there
is one of the finest sights to be seen
that any sea can offer—the low grav
warships rocking cn the swells, dipping
their knife-like bows in the blue wa
ter. impatient, efficient, epitomes of
menacing power and grace.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
BATTLE CRUISER'S
I VALUE ENHANCED
Admiral Knight Prefers Them
if Congress Recommends
Four Capital Ships
Washington. July 2S. ln response
to a request by Secretary Daniels for
on opinion on what lessons might be
drawn for the r.avai expansion pro
gram from the Jutland battle between
the British and Ge;inan fleets. Rear
Admiral Knight of the Naval "War
College has replied Uiat far from dis
crediting the battle cruiser, although
vessels of that type bore the brunt
of the losses in th«\ engagement, the
fight added a new area to the field of
usefulness of the fast fighters.
The battle has not changed the
admiral's opinion that dreadnaughts
are and will continue to be the back
bone of any fightins fleet, but it has
caused him to recommend that if
Congress decides to add onlv four
capital ships all should be' battle
cruisers.
Did I)rcadnau£lits' AVork
"In my opinion," wrote the Admiral
:to the Secretary, "neither Admiral
'Jellicoe's report nor any other source:
lof information at present available 1
affords a basis for definite Judgment
as to the actual results of the battle.
The most significant fact thus far es
tablished is that three British battle
; cruisers were sunk. It is not clear
i by what ships of the enemy fleet they
were sunk, nor to how heavy a fire
they were subjected; nor is it known
whether they were cestroyed by gun
fire alone or by the explosion of their
magazine.
"But this one fact Is clear, and in it
lies the whole explanation of the inci
dent the battle cruisers were doing
the work of battleships, for which
they were not designed, and they paid
a penalty which was more or less in
evitable. They were not only engag
ing battleships, but they were engag
ing them at short range. It is claim
ed that they were doing ths for a pur
pose wheh made it worth while to sac
rifice themselves; that they were seek
ing to hold the enemy fleet until Ad
miral Jellicoe could come up: and
that they accomplished this. Admiral
Jellicoe claims that, as a direct result
of Admiral Beatty's action, the
British Grand Fleet was enabled to
engage the enemy fleet and would
have destroyed it but for the fact
that thick weather set in and made it
Impossible to maintain contact.
Battle Cruiser's Stock I"p
"Had the success which Admiral
Jellicoe claims to have had almost
within his grasp been actually attain
ed, it would have been enti'relv due
to the battle cruisers, and the loss
of three of these would have been a
small price to pay for such a result.
In other words, the battle oft Jutland,
so far from discrediting the battle
cruiser, has added a new area to its
possible field of usefulness, and we
may now say of it that in addition to
its use for scouting and screening and
for operating as a fast wing against
the flanks of an enemy's fleet, it mav
be used for 'holding- an enemy fleet
until our own main fleet can come up
That it may be subject to heavy losses
.n accomplishing this task does hot
make the task less useful or less bril
liant.
My reply is, then, that my view of
the value of the battle cruiser has
been somewhat enhanced by the re
sults of the battle off Jutland, so far
as these results are known."
this P°' n! l he Admiral referred
to his testimony before the House
Naval Committee in which he declar
it his opinion that the battleship
would continue to be the backbone of
e * lcie , nt fiKhung fleet in spite
developments which could be
foreseen. The Admiral thought the
° e * t . ! ' eir 7i? uld brm S developments
which would enable constructors to
design a battleship wnich would meas
some of the new danltrs
appearing during the war.

tions that there is no such demand '
in the present war ror vessels of the
battle cruiser type as would exist in
a war on the Atlantic or Pacific, nor!
is there any opportunity for these
ships to give evidence of their value in
the primary role for which they are
intended. This role I attempted to de
fine before the Naval Committee is as
follows:
• The second respect in which the.
navy as it exists to-day is hampered, 1
or would be hamperfd, in the event
of war is that it has no battle cruis
ers and no scout cruisers. In other
words, we have no means of gaining
information as to the location or the
movement of an enemy force or of
denying to the enemy information as
I to our own location or movements.
Our fleet, if it were sent to sea to- .
JULY 28, 1916.
' morrow to defend our Atlantic coast i
from Eastport, Maine, to the Panama :
Canal, would go out with the com- i
I mander-in-chief and everybody under
his command practically blindfolded. ;
I am sure you all know that the very
thing that the commander of an army
or fleet needs is information of the ,
enemy, his whereabouts, his move
ments. the constitution of his force, 1
and. if possible, information as to his
plans.
! ' Value of Cruisers
The Admiral here called attention
to a sketch he had submitted to the
N'aval Committee showing the dilem
ma in which a commander without
fast scouts would find himself should
he receive word that an enemy fleet
had left the English Channel on a
given date and disappeared behind a 1
fog. The only thing that could be !
• done, said the Admiral, would be to i
| remain in an "intermediate position," l
probably between New \ ork and
I Hampton Roads; and the next news
to reach the commander might be
that the enemy had attacked the New
| England coast or was approaching
| the Panama Canal.
The letter sums up the value of the
| cruisers as follows:
I "They are ideal, first, because their
i very high speed enables them to
! search out an enemy force and g°t
| 'nformatinn back *vlth regard to that
' force, and, second, because if they
! meet an enemy force they have great
i power of resistance, if the force is one
which they can properly resist, and
great power of avoidance if the force
which they meet is one which calls
for avoidance. The characteristic of
; a battle cruiser Is that it has very
: high speed associated with very great
| gun power, and especially very long
I range gun power."
