Much of the Navy Ashore.

Not enough officers" has OF late been
tho constant complaint of the Navy de-
partment. So much Is the want felt that
II had a great influence In the Naval
academy hazing investigation. High Of
flcIels feared tho result OF severity In
dealing with the cadets. Congress has
been appealed to for relief But Congress
man Loudenslager OF the House Naval
committee has Injected a new idea into
the discussion. Hc takes the ground that
too many commissioned officers are kept
on shore duty at tasks which civilians
could perform fully well they. He
asked for a list OF officers on shore duty,
and was shown fourteen soidly printed
pages of the Naval Register, containing
there names. There are l65 officers on
duty IN the Naval department in Wash
ington alone, and 128 in the New York
navy yard. This affords some Idea of the
diverse duties that are performed by off,
GERS on shore. Mr.. Loudcnslager's pro-
posal ia that all OF these not required
for technical work be released for sea
duty and their places filled by civilians
He already has a bill pending to bring
about a reorganization for this purpose.
The suggestion, 10 a landsman, seems
exceedingly sensible, and to promise the
relief the department needs Naval
methods. when they are OF long standing,
seem to acquire q sanctlty. That does
not necessarily mean that they are the
best The officers would not lose dignity
or prestige by turning routine work they
have been doing for years over to civil
ians. The service apparently would be
the gamer by tho change, and II could
be made quickly.-Cleyeland Leader
