Authorities here were todav-trying to find an explanation why the carcass of a giant sturgeon xas sewed up in canvas and passed off as the body of Fred Saubert, fisherman, who was drowned about two weeks ago at the mouth of the Siuslaw river.

Future wars will have for their first great naval conflict, a gigantic battle between the entire fleets of the contending nations. Secretary of the Navy Wilbur predicted In a speech today before the national council of Congregational churches- "The men who fight In that battle will perhaps fight for the first and last whether victorious or defeated," he said. "We are expecting these men not only to conduct themselves with courage In such an engagement but also we are asking them to use their trained Intelligence with all the coolness and precision which is necessary for victory. "The recent disaster to the S-51 illustrates that no matter how careful or how expert the crew of a submarine may be, an overtaking merchant ship may sink it. "If there were no accidents, no mishaps to submarines, surface vessels and aircraft, we would know that the Navy was not alive, that it was not being operated according to correct principles.

"Airplanes must be flown In times of peace, under conditions they will be compelled to fly In time of war." Secretary Wilbur went over the entire list of recent disasters. Including the loss of seven destroyers and 21 lives at La Honda, the Shenandoah and the S-51 disasters In which 14 and 33 lives were lost respectively, the death of forty In the Mississippi explosion and the Trenton- turret blast.
