was necessary TO convert cadets into watch officers. 1t is manifest that in
this respect relief can only be secured in the course Of years. Even then,
it, as at present, the number of cadets at Annapolis IS annually consider
ably raised, and their term of education shortened, the effect in the rank
of higher officers can only make itself felt in the course Of time. Finally
relief cannot be secured simply by turning out officers faster. The ncccs-
say service experience must also have been attained. AS has been sad'
America waited too long to resort to energetic and radical remedial meas
ucs.
For the present and the immediate future we cannot get away from
the fact that the American officer corps, as regards its tactical military
training. without doubt is inferior TO the japanese that it is also numcr
icaly inferior would under other circumstances not be of special mpor-
lance. especially as in war a large number Of naval officers remain ashore,
while the commanding officers among them usually 60 to the front. y
further element of weakness in the American fleet, however, is the very
high age among the higher commanding officers. Among rear admlSIs we
find an average of nearly CT years, among captains of nearly 80 years, and
among the navy commanders of nearly 81. That is a service age much
beyond what the demands of initiative and elasticity made upon naval
officers absolutely require, and this msgvng becomes the more serious in
light of the now prevailing promotion system, whereby, also for higher
officers, the question of efficiency is not the decisive one.

BY GRAF ERNST REvENTLoW.
German Naval Expert.

As compared with Japan, there can be no doubt
that as far rs personnel is concerned Americas weak
ness is at sea. From a tactical standpoint, one can
safely assert, the standard of the American navy does
not attain a high point. At any rate, the education Of
officers on a systematic, uniform, thoroughgoing plan
is lacking absolutely, while of tradition there can, OF
course, not be the slightest notion.
A second most unfortunate feature is the personnel
question. 1t has con up before, but only in the recent
years of the new era has it demanded adequate attcn-
ton. At present there is a lack of both officers and
men. The officer famine is SC crying that last year it

DANGER OF CATAERH
Unless Properly Treated with Hyo-
mel, Becomes Serious.

Catarrhal troubles are far more
dangerous than they seem at first
thought. If you have catarrh, there
is an irritated state of the mucous
membrane, which affords an ideal
Judgment and culture medium for
disease germs, especially those Of
consumption.
Get cured as quickly as possible
before you breathe some dangerous
germs that may lodge on the diseas-
ed tissue and work destruction IN
the throat and lungs.
The easiest and surest way to cure
catarrh is by the direct method OF
breathing Hyomei. There is no stom-
ach drugging in this wonderful med
icated air treatment. 1t kills all ca
tarrhal germs making Catarrh ana
other germ infection Impossible.
