supply would be adequate, however. for
the most effective auxiliary cruisers and

ShlpS could proceed as rapidly as possible

On the question of manning the auxi-

me most effective step would be to enlist
IN the nlted states naval service the
present mechant crews of the several
ships: These crews are thoroughly
familiar with the vessels and could
handle them with far greater effect than
green crews OF blue jackets The ships
would be ofiicered from the line Of the
regular navy. In case of enlistng MGR
chant crew the pay and allowances would
be about equivalent to the rates pail or
binary sailors and the time of enlistment
doubtless would be limited to short
periods.
The proposed batteries for the auxiliary
cruisers consist in the case of the s..
Louis and St. Paul of eight finch guns.

constitute one al the most teadlN engines
Of naval destruction. The Whitehead
torpedo is now in general use, although
a few of the Howell class are still on
hand Fifty Whitehead t"rpedoes were
secured a short time ago and with theS"
there is a total ri about ;i1o ON hand.
