Crying Need for More Omcers.
Minneapolis Tribune.

Minneapolis Tribune
Life in the American navy Is growing
more strenuous with the increasing excess
of ships and service over the supply OF
officers. Two officers have committed sui
eide within week. Now one has disap-
peared from the battieship Massachusetts.
1t is highly probab bic that some of the re-
cent costly accidents 10 American ships-of-
war have been due to the overworking OF
officers. Naval officers cannot remain en-
ergetic and vigilant when they are over
worked, any more than railroad engineers.
The lack of officers and men has for some
time prevented the keeping I'm commission
OF ships constructed al enormous cost. IL
is useless to build ships IL not going
to use them. Ships will be of no use in
war unless they are exercised and their
crews trained in peace. The next Con-
gress should take instant means to recruit
ing the supply OF officers and seamen 10 the
navy or else put a stop to the heavy an
nual appropriation for increasing the navy
We think that public opinion would not
tolerate the latter alternative. Therefore
IL should insist upon the former.
