statistics that, despite the drain upon

eases of the nervous system appear earlier

formerly, nevertheless, within The past
five or six years the average life of Ameri-

NAVY LACKS OFFICERS.
Recommendation Eiade That :sore Cadets be
Appointed.
Rr Assorlatef Press. J

WASHINGTON, Oct IL. = Admiral
Crowninshield, in his annual report
dwells upon the imperative need OF the
navy for more officers and men. He says
that il the Department were called upon
to man the ships for war service it could
not meet the demand. There are not
enough line officers to man the ships al
ready constructed. When, in three years,
the vessels now under construction snail
have been completed the number of Off
GERS necessary to man them and few
auxiliary vessels would be no less than
a thousand and the problem presented IS
how these officers can be secured in the
short time remaining. There is but one
remedy, according to Admiral Crownln-
shield and that is to increase the num-
Der Of cadets at the Naval Academy.
That number should not be less than 800.
Therefore. it is recommended that be-
ginning with the next Congress. there
shall be allowed at the Academy two
naval cadets FOR every representative or
delegate, two for each senator, one for
the District of Columbia and ten at large
annually, and that the course should be
limited to four years.
Another striking recommendation of
Admiral Crowninshield is that four vice
admirals be created. reducing the number
of rear-admirals to fourteen, if necessary.

said this morning that the League is pre-

solution acted upon favorably by the con-

bers of the convention have been enlist

is to have petitions. asking for the ahop-

ton from Representatives Of manufacture

ton firms and companies dong business nus ness

The Judiciary Committee has again

seems TO be that twenty-four circuits

Mr.. Thorn advocated this, on the ground
that it was only carrying out the prin-

the cost of living in large cities demand

in less expensive communities. r. G..

president Of the Council, and j. d. G.

sideration of the resolution was post
