Washington, Jan. 5.--preaident Koess-
velts attitude on the question OF the
command of hospital ships in the navy,
which resulted In the resignation of
Rear Admiral Willard II. Brownson,
and, Incidentally, some caustic obser-
vations by him on that inciden. and the
controversies among naval officers and
their adksrents as to details OF naval
construction and methods of training,
were made known today when Secre-
tary Metcalf gave to the press two let
ters from the President addressed to
him on the subjects.
In the first of these letters, President
Roosevelt, without 1nincing words. con-
dennis in unmeasured terms the act of
Admiral Brownson. declaring II to be
unseemly and improper. THE officers
Of the navy" he said. must remember
that 1t is not merely childish; but in
the highest degree reprehensible to per-
NIT either personal piQue. wounded
vanity, CT fractional feeling on behalf
Of soma particular bureau or organiZa-
ton, to render them disloyal to the
interests Of the navy and therefore to
the country as O whole"
Regarding the controversies in the
navy the President admits there are
always are and always will be defects
TO correct both in the construction OF
ships and in the organization of the
department and in the actual drill OF
the fleet It is well, he says. that these
defects be pointed out but it is also
| we'll that they should be pointed out
without historical eXaggeration or
malicious untruthfulness.
| The letter to Secretary Met"alf. dat
cd, Jan. 2. regarding the retirement OF
| Admiral Brownson and the controver-
sizes in the navy. is as follows:
| IN accordance with our conversation
of TODAY, Capt. Pillsbury will be APP
pointed chief of the bureau of naviSa-
ton.
| THE action of the late chief of the
bureau, Admiral Brownson, in tend
ering his resignation because he did not
agree with the President ard the de-
partment regarding an order issued be-
fore he came into the bureau. by the
secretary of the navy as TO the contro'
Of the hospital ships. was unseemiy
and improper and coupled with the
various controversies among the offl-
GERS of the navy and their adhorents
as TO details of naval construction and
methods of training, has undoubtedly
been prejudicial to the interests of the
navy and may seriously impare tile
confidence in the navy which is essen
tinl to securing the legislation so sore
" needed by the navy"
1.-THE way in which the controversies
have been carried out is highly injur-
ious to the service. There always are
and always will be defects to correct
both in tho construction of ships and
in the organization of the department
and the actual drill of the fleet. 1t Is
we'll that these defects should be point

should be pointed out, but it is also
well that these defects should be
pointed out without historical exagger-
alton or malicious untruthfulness; while
it is of course reprehensible in the high
est degree to exploit them in grossly
exaggerated form in the fancied interest
Of an Individual or clique Of individuals
or for the sake Of supplying sensational
material to some service or non-ssr-
vice newspapers.
The officers Of the navy who are
guilty Of such conduct deserve grave
rebuke. They cast discredit upon the
service and their conduct is deeply
Notifying to every American who be-
lieves in the navy and is anxious to up
hold its interest and honor. There has
been so much misrepresentation and eX-
aggeration that / desire you TO make
me q statement as to the exact facts
concerning which there has been dis
pute. In particular l desire you to get
the opinion of Admiral Converse. who
until last spring, was chief Of the
bureau of navigation, and whose high
personal standard OF conduct and duty
and high professional knowledge and
attachments render him peculiarly fit to
give Judgment"
"I would willingly pass over the con :
duet of Admiral Brownson because of
his fine service in the past if it were
not that at a time when a new chief
IS chosen to succeed him 1t becomes
| imperative to stamp with disapproval
The behavior which, if followed through
nut the navy generally would literally
ruin the navy's efficiency. The ques-
| ton as TO what Admiral BroWnsOn took
issue with the department. I will deal
with in 4 separate letter. 1t is one as
| 20 which there can be entirely legitf-
mate differences of opinion. But there
is no room for difference of opinion as
| to the gross improperly Of the admir-
! ais conduct in resigning sooner than
carry out the orders of his superior
officer n such n matter. The officers
of the navy must remember that it is
not merely childish. but in the highest
degree renrehensihla, to permit either
nersonal nioue, wounded vanity, or fac
tional feeling on behalf of some par
ticu,ar bureau or organization to render
them disloyal to the interests of the
navy and therefore of tho country as
| a whole. The question whether one Of
4 hcer or anOtneT SIa!l Coliiiiidhu a. SUI
is Of little consequence compared with
the weakening of all command and
discipline which would result if officers
were to refuse to serve whenever their
tempers are ruffcd by adverse decision
on the part Of their superiors.
Their sole concern should be the
good of the service and gave only lack
of courage in actual war obedience and
literally are the most essential qualities
in keeping the service up to the highest
standard. The different bureaus of the
department. the different branchs Of
the service, must act IN coordination.
and this questions that arise between
