The sounds OF steps that. soon or latA

Or cling to you In perfect trust.

Their infants lying In the dust
And when the step you wait for comes
And all your world is full OF light,

IMPROVE THE NAVY.
Bill for This Purpose Is Outlined by
Secretary Roosevelt.

Washington, Dec. 3O.-Assistant Sec
rotary Roosevelt has submitted to Sec
rotary Long a most exhaustive report
upon the personnel of the navy. He
was charged with a special board to
consider and report upon means to
break up the present stagnation in
promotions, to settle the long stand
ing difference between the engineer
corps and to devise a method for the
betterment of the condition of the en-
listed men aboard ships.
AS to the results attained, he said:
L am able to report to you that the
bill they have produced would, if en-
acted into law, be of literally incalcu-
liable good to the navy.
The board recommends (a) that the
line officers and engineers be amalga-
mated; CD that when the number of
officers to be promoted is so far in eX-
cess Of the vacancies as to cause stag
nation in the navy, the requisite num-
Der of vacancies shall be caused by
wedding out the men who are least fit
to meet the heavy requirements of
modern naval duty; Co that the enlist
ed men aboardship be given reward of
pension and retirement enjoyed by their
brethren who fight ashore, while the
uppermost machinists are made to rank
with the gunnerS" etc
