NAVAL TRAINING ON

Admiral Taylor Names Benefits of the
Proposed Station.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Jan. 6.-Rear
Admiral Taylor, chief of the bureau OF
navigation, today urged the house
naval affairs committee to establish
naval training station on the great
lakes, for which an appropriation or
$3.50, 900 is recommended by the depart
ment. Lake Bluff, on Lake Michigan.
near Chicago, and Racine, Wis, have
been recommended as proper places Tor
this station. Such a station. the ad-
miral said. would tend to induce the
enlistment of better class of seamen
from the interior and would decrease
the number of dI sertions, as cadets
would have an opportunity to test sea-
faring life before actual enlistment IL
also would tend TO produce more sea-
faring men for commercial lines.
