MEN ARE LACKING
TO MAN NEW navy
1t Is Impossible to Put New
WarshIps in Commission
When Intended
Globe Special Washington Service

1417 c Street
WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. "a
Some tables completed today by the
bureau of navigation reveal an alarm
ing state of affairs in connection with
manning the new American warships,
several of which are to be placed in
commission at an early date, and no
less than thirty-six of which will be
ready for service in thirty months.
Seven large warships, which are now
nearing completion at navy yards on
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, were to
have been placed in commission by
Jan. Is next, but according to estimates
prepared today this will be a practical
impossibility. More than 100 officers
and over 1000 men are lacking of the
number necessary to man the new ad-
ditions to the navy, and although it
has been decided to place ten warships
now in active service out of commits
sion in the near future. even this will
leave a shortage of about SO officers
and 1000 men.
AT the present time there are ap-
proximately $4,000 men In the, enlisted
personnel. A law of congress fixes the
limit of the personnel at $4,000, but
this includes $500 apprentice boys,
who, of course, are, rather a hindrance
than help in the manning of a shil
of war. The difference between the
present force and the maximum limit
viii be made up as soon as possible..ir
order to meet the exigencies of the sit
uatfon, and three recruiting parties
which were recalled to Washington
several weeks ago, following a decision
of the comptroller of the treasury that
officers on recruiting duty cannot be
allowed expenses other than mileage
will be. Immediately sent out again.
System Twice as Expensive
Under the new arranged itineraries
worked out with a view to making ma:
val officers mileage cover all his ex-
penses while on. recruiting duty. it vii

However, she purcnaseu, pound of each and informed us she was going to let the rest of the fam- alv get the same complexion Gts queer it didn't change them all at the same time). We'll, to be candid, we al- ways imagined you must go to the seaShore, out in the sun or to dfug store to change your complexion, put the tea bleaching is a new wrinkle III the tea and coffee business. It wasn't three hours later until we heard one politician ask another 1f he saw a certain politicians picture Tn the newspapers. When the answer NO came the paper was produced, but Politician No Two still claimed the picture was not who he thought it was. He claimed the picture was that of a gentleman. Well, hearty laugh or a smile always makes per son feel good.
