EVENTS IN WASHINGTON AND
TRANSACTIONS OF CONGRESS
Naval Bureau Report.

The annual report of Admiral H. c.
Taylor. chief of the bureau of naviga-
ton, recommends the creation of
general staff of the navy, the appoint
ment of two vice admirals, one for the
Asiatic station and one for the North
Atlantic station. material increase in
the number of officers ahd the addition
OF number of cruisers to the navy.
AS affecting the personnel OF the ma
Wy, Admiral Taylor mentions a defeat,
which he says is common to most mill
tary services. whether at sea or on
land, namely, the advadced age at
which officers reach the more impor-
tant commands. The duty of command
ing . battleship and fleets of battle
ships, he says, is one which requires,
together with q large experience and
ability, the energy and nervous endur
ance which is found as a rule among
men much younger than those who will
command your battleships and fleets
Tor some years to come. AS a remedy
for the present defect he urges the re-
tirement of officers when they have
reached a certain age In a certain
grade. He suggests that an officer OF
fifty years, who has not attained the
rank of captain, retire, and that cap
tain, who is fifty-ive has not reached
the grade of rear admiral, retire.
After urging an addition to the ser
vice of thirty lieutenant commanders
and fifty lieutenants. Admiral Taylor
says that at present lieutenants are do
ing the duty which should be done by
lieutcnantS commanders.

Cost Of Naval Protection.

The annual report of Secretary of the
Navy Moody says relative to the use
fulness of the navy:
LAS a nation we are able to possess
navy of such size and cost as our
national interests and duties require.
On the other hand, we should not be
tempted by the abundance of revenue
to increase the navy beyond our needs,
or to expend dollar unnecessarily.
THE cost of military protection has
frequently been compared with that OF
insurance upon property. The compar-
ison is not inapt, and has a special
significance in considering naval ex-
penditures. have caused compari-
son to be made between the national
valuation and navel expenditures. A
table computed in this manner, show
ing the percentage of the total proper
ty of the United States devoted to the
support of the navy by ten years peri
DDS in the last century, shows an aver
age annual expenditures OF s0.00123 for
each dollar of the valuation.
THE expenditures for the fiscal yeaI
1908 were sS2.61S,034. By reasonable
approximation, the valuation for that
year was $106,239 ,266.S72.
THUS there was expended for this
year for each dollar of national valua-
tion $0.00077. If the average of the
last century had been reached, the ex-
penditures would have been $13O,674,-
$685."
