RESIGNS TO ACCEPT
A CIVIL POSITION
Lieut.. Stafford Will Still
Work for Government.
Naval Officer to Be Curator in Agri-
cultural Department-Would Soon
Have Been Advanced in Rank.

Lieut.. William Edwin Stafford has re-
signed his commission in the navy to
take civil office under the Govern
ment He pursued this unusual course
On account of his desire to engage in
scientific work which the civil position
afforded.
Lieutenant Stafford has been on fur
Tough for more than year, being en-
ployed in the meantime in the agri-
cultural Department in scientific
studies. Recently he took the competi-
tive civil service examination for the
position of curator in the department,
and made the highest percentage. AS he
wanted the position it was necessary
for him TO resign from the navy.
There have been cases where officers
have resigned commissions to get more
remunerative places In private busi-
ness. but Lieutenant Stafford is believed
to have furnished the first instance of a
naval officer voluntarily seeking a
transfer 10 a civil position under the
Government In doing so he surrenders
the advantage of the retired list. and
the privilege D, wearing a uniform.
Lieutenant Stafford entered the Naval
Academy from Ohio in 1871. Had he

CHAPLAiNS WANT GOLD LACE
Displeased With Simple Uniform Pre-
scribed for Them.

Tie chaplains of the army are finding
fault with the simplicity of the new
uniform prescribed by board. in which
the prevailing color OF blue for service
dress has been changed to an olive drab.
The chaplains believe they are entitled
to some OF the gold braid and orna-
mentation allowed the line officers. This
objection by the chaplains has prevailed
since the corps was established and
the general ground of their complaint
has been that they are degraded by the
absence of certain emblems and devices
indicative of rank and corps. which are
recognized for other branches of The
service.
The authorities have contended that
the chaplain is nom -combatant, and.
therefore, should appear in simple dresG:
but the chaplain doesn't look at 1t that
way.
The overcoat prescribed for officers
bears on the sleeve a braid insignia Of
rank. except in the case of second lieu
tenants and chaplains, and they obtoc.
to this, because a chaplain ranks with
a captain aud believes he should have a
distinguished insignia OF rank. The
chaplains have set forth their objec-
tions to the War Department and Gsk
that the new regulations be amended
The War Department authorities be
lieve that the chaplains have a weak
ness for gay trappings not dignihed for
their profession. and that they should
be dressed as nearly like civilian min
listers as the duties CT military service
will permit.

RIGID ECONOMY
FOR ENCAMPMENT
SOON TO MAKE TEST OF
LARGEST GUN IN WORLD
Moving Sixteen-Inch Rifle From Wa
tervleit to Sandy Hook
a Problem.

The great 16-inch army gun which has
been in course of construction for sew
eral years at the Watervleit Arsenal.
and which is the most powerful E'2apon
in the world, is soon TO have its first
test on the proving grounds at Sandy
Hook.
Gen. William Crozier, ordnance chief,
expects the trials to come off in few
weeks if no serious trouble is encoun-
tered in landing the big gun at Sandy
Hook Its immense weight may render
ii dangerous TO the pier at the station.
and for that reason it may be necessary
TO land II on the shore from some barge
and transport it overland to the car
riage. The test of this great piece of
ordnance is awaited with keen interest
in the army. although it is looked upon
by ordnance officers as a great monster
without any decided value for forti1ca-
tion purposes.
The gun was designed under direction
of the late Chief of Ordnance General
Flagler. and has cost the Government
probably 5000. .00O.

Effort to Be Made to
Secure Action by
Congress.
VESSELS ARE SHORT HANDED
Question of Increasing the Enlisted
Fcrce Being Seriously Considered, Al
though Effort to Get Bluejackets to
Fill Quota Have Been Unsuccessful.

| With more than a hundred naval YES
sells in commission, not counting those
supply ships which have merchant mas
ters and crews, and sixty-six Vessels
under construction or authorized. the
demand for more officers and mel las
| became imperative, and determined ct
fort 10 secure them Will be male when
Congress reassembles next December.
In the opinion of the naval authorities
at least 800 additional officers are ie-
quired, and they think it is absolutely
necessary TO increase the inli5-4d Ter
sonnel of the navy to 10000, or about
double the present authorized strength.
To the minds of some of the officials
OF the Navy Department, the question
OF increasing the enlisted force is more
important than that OF augmeaCing The
commissioned grades. 1t is an emOar
RAISING question, for even If Congress
directed that the number of Jluciackots
be doubled, the problem of carrying cut
the law would be presented. Every ef-
fort has been. and is being made to
secure recruits to fill the ranks, au- in
spite of this, there remains 4 D;g gap.
Recruiting parties have secured the At
lantic. the Pacific and the Gulf sea-
boards. They have gone to the Great
Lakes and the Southern Sounds.
Gone Into Interior.
They have even gone into the Interior
of the country, where blue water is
never seen. II cannot be said, how
ever, that a great amount of success has
attended these endeavors.
The plan for training landsm on
separate ships, and transferring them
to regular war vessels when they SHOW
sufficient aptitude. has helped swell the
number of bluejackets, but he tide of
recruiting is still very low. and new
means for overcoming the difficulty are
urgently required.
Just what effect the war game near
New York and the naval maneuvers in
the West Indies will have on Congress
in consideration of the question of in
creasing the personnel and increasing
the number Of ships is problematical.
Effect of Maneuvers.
In the opinion of some observant
naval officers the gathering of the great
fleet IN the West Indies may give Con-
gress the impression that the navy Is
already large enough, and this impress
sion. once produced, may be difficult to
eradicate. Its bearing on the incr ease
is very important.
Naval officers are a unit in believing
that the number of armored ships
should be augmented. and feel that any
thing that presents a chance of in
Huercins the legislative branch of the
Government in the opposite direction
should not be undertaken.

IMPERATIVE NEED
OF NAVAL OFFICERS

battleships directly authorized this year
were really provided for last year. when
Congress decided that they should be
built and called for plans. but failed
to actually add to the strength of the
feet.
One Year Lost.
Thus one year of shipbuilding was
lost. and those officers who take pes
simistic view OF the prospect for a large
augmentation in the number of fighting
craft are concerned over the possibility
that the West Indian mancuvers may
serve to impress many legislators with
the view that the United States Navy is
now big enough to whip the world.
Owing to the energetic efforts of Rear
Admiral Taylor. chief Of the Bureau O:
Navigation. only 105 naval officers below
the command rank entitled to perform
the line duties at sea. are now attached
to shore stations. With two exceptions
the entire force of enslgns is on ships
in commission. There are forty-nine
lieutenant commanders ashore, but ow-
ing to their rank sea duty cannot be
provided for many of them.
Demand for Junior Officers.
The great demand is for junior officers
to serve in watch and division berths.
There are sixty-six of these lieutenants
and Junior lieutenants who are now
serving on land details, but subtracting
the twelve who are engaged in the abb
solutely necessary duty OF training re-
cruits attached to receiving ships, the
number is reduced to fifty four. This
number will be still further reduced to
forty-seven when the Maine is placed
in commission some time in October.
Owing to the scarcity OF officers many
naval cadets at sea are performing
watch and division duties Nearly
every ship in commission Is shorthand
ed. and even If every line officer now
ashore is sent to sea there will still not
be enough to handle the vessels prop
erly.
