snsuflciency of officers is due In part, at
least, to the number detailed for the per-
Torrance of shore duty. This suggestion
demands careful consideration. The num-
her of officers on shore duty Is to some ex-
tent within the control Of the Secretary of
the Navy, and to that extent Is question
of administration merely.
1.-The efforts of my predecessor and my
self have diminished the number Of lire
officers on shore duty from 275 on January
last to 1876 on November Is current, be-
ing a reduction of 80, or 29.9 per cent. The
percentage Of officers on shore duty on
January / was 26S. and on November 15
was 1875 This reduction has not been ac-
complishcd without the protest of some of
the ablest officers. especially those at the
heads Of the several bureaus. The weight
of this protest is not overlooked, and 1t Is
recognized that In some cases the action
of the department can only be justified by
the fact that officers have been detached
from stations on shore for the performance
of more essential duties at sea-
.aThe dtffIculty Is In administration to ap-
portion properly among the officers shore
and sea duty. Sometimes by favoritism Of
ficers of the navy may obtain long tours Of
duty on shore. necessarily at the expense
of Others. and Sometimes an oficer who
possesses exceptional scientific equipment

Country Approves the Policy.

THE country approves with hardly dis
senting voice. the policy of strengthening
our power upon the sea. What would have
been adequate navy some years ago is
totally inadequate for the performance Of
the duties growing out Of our new posses
sions in the Pacific and Atlantic and the de-
termination Of Congress to construct canal
across the 1sthmus.
IF. then. the policy Of strengthening our
power upon the sea to the point where 1t
can respond to the national needs be not
abandoned, the navy has manifold needs.
There must be additional naval and coallng
stations: more ships. fighting and auxil-
iary, and an increase Of officers and men.
In all Of these respects, Congress in the
past has dealt with the navy wisely and
generously, and 1 doubt not that in the
future 1t will as accurately register the will
Of the people
The most imperative need Of the navy
today is of additional officers. 1 cannot
overstate this need. 1t invites the instant
attention of Congress. The administration
Of the department Is embarrassed almost
daily by the lack of officers below COM
mand rank. This condition has been ap-
preaching for some years, and was clearly
apprehended and stated by my predecessor
in office. 1t is acute today, and when the
ships already authorized are completed, 1t
will be desperate unless there is early ac-

Deficiency of Officers.

Allowing the same proportion Of officers
In transit, on shore duty, sick and on leave,
will require 623 officers to produce the 49S
demanded by our new ships. In four years.
moreover, it Is estimated that not less than
100 officers will leave the service through
resignation, retirement, or death. The de-
ficiency in the number Of officers required
for the full complement of naval duty will
be at the end OF four years as follows:
Present deficiency. ST.; needed for new
Ships, 623; needed to fill vacancies, 100; total
deficiency, 800.
THE officers we need can be obtained
from three sources only-by appointment
from civil life, by promotion from the ranks
or by education and training at the Naval
Academy. The first source has been so uni
formly rejected by the opinions Of all that
I will not discuss 1t. Congress has indi-
Gated It's opinion by abandoning this method

The law already allows promotion from the
ranks Of not exceeding six enlisted men
per annum.
81 recommend that this law be amended
so as to permit the promotion of not more
than twelve per annum.
But the main source Of our supply of
officers must be from the Naval Academy
The duties OF the modern naval officer are
SO varied and complex that they demand
rigorous and protracted education and
best be obtained at the national school at
Annapolis. That school produces officers
the equal of any in the world When the
best are obtainable we need not content
ourselves with anything less than the best
The nation has devoted many millions of
dollars to the upbuilding OF this school,
instituted and maintained for the single
purpose Of producing naval officers Of the
highest type.
with the utmost wisdom Congress has
prescribed that the students shall be Sc
lected in uniform proportions from all Sec
tions Of our country and, In practice all
classes of our people are represented there
Naval officers do not constitute caste; our
system Of selection brings to our service
each generation the new blood Of our de-
mocracy. 1t admits none by favor; it ex-
cludes all except those Of the highest men,
tai and physical VICAR. Thus selected, thus
educated, inspired by our naval traditions
We may be assured that these young men
will reach and maintain the highest stand
ard Of efficiency.
Il therefore earnestly recommend that
without years delay the number of mid
shipmen at the Academy be increased suffi-
GENTLY to meet present and prospective
needs OF the service.

High Character Of Enlisted Men

An increase of the navy is advocated by
Secretary Moody In his first annual report
to the President in the following words:
After most careful consideration. believe
1t to be my duty to recommend contin-
uance without interruption Of the increase
OF ships The precise type of ships author
lied must, of course, like the authorization
itself, be referred to the wisdom of Con-
gress, to whose committees recommended
tons in detail may be made. Differences OF
opinion exist among naval authorities, but
all agree that not less than two battle ships
should be among the number authorized
Whether the others should be of the armor-
ed-cruiser type or of the unarmored cruiser

transit intelligent and wholesome care. Two
vessels of this type, one for the Atlantic
and one for the Pacific. to be equipped for
the work outlined in times of peace, and
ready for instant service in time of war;
are earnestly recommended"
The future of the navy Is discussed at
considerable length in the report, and spe
cial stress is laid upon the urgent necessity
of additional officers. Secretary Moody fol-
lows closely the recommendations made by
Rear Admiral Taylor, which have been
printed In The Star. and publishes table
showing the number of officers that will be
required five years hence to meet the pros
pective demands of the navy under the pres
ent program of increase. Mr.. Moody state
ment in part is as follows:
Among the most important lessons
learned in the war with Spain was that
modern navy cannot be improvised during
a war or upon the threshold Of war. Much
money was then expended in the purchase
Of ships. Many Of them served useful aux
Hilary purposes, but 1t may we'll be doubted
whether they added materially to the fight
ing efficiency of our fleet. The time best
suited to the development and perfection Of
our navy Is the time when there Is neither
war nor threat Of war. Happily the present
is such a time, and 1t permits dispassion-
ate consideration of the future
