YOUNGER BLOOD
IN NAVY URGED
BY PRESIDENT
Sends Special Message
to Congress on Passage
of Naval Personnel
Bill.

President Roosevelt sent a special
message 10 Congress this afternoon urg-
ing the passage of the naval personnel
bill. recommended by Secretary Of the
Navy BOnapaTte, providing for earlier
promotions for competent line officers
OF the navy TO the grades Of captain
and admiral and establishing the grade
of vice admiral.
Under the present archaic system OF
promotions" says the President, with
out parallel in the navy of any other
hrst-class power, captains are commits
stoned at the average age OF ffty-six,
and rear edmirals at the average Of
sixty
This system is the result of a long
continued prejudice in favor of method
of promotion which sacrifices the good
of the service to the interests OF indi-
viduaI mediocrity. AS a direct eonse-
auence, naval officers have a limited
and inadequate experience As captains
in command of battleships, and as flag
officers ia charge of fleets and sduadrGas
that is, in the very positions OF great
est responsibility, where experience.
skill, and ninitiative are essential to ef-
hciency. Moreover, they attain the posi-
ton of a flag officer but a few months
before they reach the retiring age, ana
have TO opportunity TO perfect them
selves in the important duties or the
high commands pertaining to such
rank.

BLAMES FRAUD
ON LAND LAWS
IN MESSAGE
President Emphasizes
Need of Immediate
Action to ReCaSt
Statutes.

The public land frauds in the West
are the occasion for a special message
to Congress by the President this af-
ternoon.
The developments of the past year, -
says the President emphasize with in
creasing force the need of vigorous and
immediate action TO recast~ the public
land laws and adapt them to the actual
situation. The timber and stone act has
demonstrated conclusiveiy that it's ef-
feet is TO turn over the public timber
lands to great corporations. II has
done enormous harm, it Is no longer
needed. and ii should be repealed.
The desert land act results so fire.
quently in fraud and so comparatively
seldom in making homes on the land
that il demands radical amendments.
That provisions which permits assign
ment before patent should be repealed
and the entrymen should be required to
live for not less than two years at home
on the land before patent issues other
wise the desert land law Will continue
TO assist spectators and other large
holders to get control of land and water
on the public domain by indefensible
means"
The President expresses his grave
concern over the general prevalence Of
fraud under the present provisions of
the land laws. for much of which, he
declares. the laws themselves are re-
sponsible. He says;
