FRICTION IN NAVAL BUREAUS
Special Board Fails to Devise a
Scheme for Harmony.

The labors of the board of naval officers,
of which Assistant Secretary Allen is pres
ident and which was organized to devise
methods of preventing friction among bu-
reau chiefs, are almost completed. II is
said. however that there was compara-
lively little work for the board to do. The
statements made by the heads of the bu-
reaus were not of particularly warlike
character. and it was finally agreed that
the regulations would not admit of amend
ment for the purpose of improving the sys-
TEN.
One member Of the board suggested that
The fault was not in the departmental rules,
but in the individuality of the chiefs, who
raised questions. impeded the progress of
business, and brought personalities into the
settlement of technical matters.
The board is not likely TO offer any rec
concentrations. as no one was able TO sug-
gest wherein the regulations could be
changed advantageously. The members
agreed that the present duties of the re-
spective bureaus were what should de-
volve upon each.
The report OF the board will not, there
fore, bring the relief which Secretary Long
sought, and he may. after all, have to de-
pend upon the plan for consolidating tEIee
bureaus-that OF construction ana repair,
of equipment, and Of steam engineering.
1t is practically certain that he will ask
Congress to effect this merging of the bu-
reaus in the interest of harmonious and
business-like despatch of public affairs.
This plan will be vigorously combated, it
is said, by Rear Admirals Melville and
Bradford, chiefs of the Bureaus Of Steam
Engineering and Equipment, respectively.
Secretary Long will have the support
and influence Of some OF the coal people,
however, notably, 1t is said. of Senator
Elkins Many of the firms which have re-
lations with the Navy Department in the
sale OF coal complain at the delays and
the involved methods OF the Government
in buying and inspecting fuel for the
navy. II the scheme for consolidating
the three bureaus fails, it Is likely that
the purchase of coal will be taken from
the Bureau of Equipment and placed with
the Bureau of Supplies and Accounts,
which has to do with the contracts of 9TH
er material used by the navy.

THE ARMY cANTEEN.
ORcers' Reports Declare That 1t Is
Indispensable.

The army officers, who were requested
to submit to the War Department their
views on .the post exchange system have
been sending in their reports. 1t is found
almost without exception, that the post ex-
change is regarded as a feature indispens-
able for the morality, comfort, and con-
teutment Of the enlisted men. 1t is found
to work without friction at all the camps
and garrisons, and contributes to the
efficiency and sobriety Of the troops. Only
among few of the volunteer commands
has the post exchange been anything of a
failure, and there it was due to careless
ness in the management or the abuse of
the canteen feature by the enlisted men.
1t is reported by some of the officers
that liquor sellers in the neighborhood Of
army posts are working against the sys-
tenn The information gathered by the
War Department will be made the founda-
ton of a communication to Congress from
the Secretary of War in regard TO the post
exchange and is intended as reply to the
its enemies.
1t is understood that both the prohibi-
tionists and saloonkeepers have organized
for a battle on the post exchange when
the subject comes before Congress at the
next session. The War Department will
have its representative on the floor, and
will be ready to meet the attack. The re-
ports OF officers who are in position to
know of the effect of the canteen will form
an important part Of the defence.
