HTTICOAT RULE IN
! BRITISH NAVY To CO
ADMIRALTY BOARD TO HAVE q
THoRouoH REORGANIZATION
IN AID OF DISCIPLINE.

y LONDON, June 5-Briush naval
administration Is about 10 undergo a
thorough reform which will put an
end 10 the present intolerable conai-
ton OF things al the Admiralty.
The Beresford-Scott incident and
the scandal about the kaiser's letter
70 Lord Tweedmouth were recent indi'
cations OF state of lack or discipline
nj naval headquarters, and II IS an
open secret that there Is bitter an
tagonism between two groups or ON
GERS OF high rank, with Sir John FISH
er. first sea lord OF the admiralty
heading one side. and Lord Charles
Beresford, commanding the channel
fieet, the other.
"Petticoat influence" is now as pow
erfui at the admiralty as II was AZ
the war office before the recent reor'
gauization. There have also been IN
discreet letters written, which have
not conduced TO the efficiency or dig
nifty of naval administration. News
paper articles on admiralty affairs
have lately been so candid and sensa-
tional that every Englishman has be-
come SO seriously alarmed about the
state OF this important government de-
partment which was once looked
upon as irreproachable and incorrupi-
bic.
To prevent the threatened ruin OF
British naval power the government
has determined upon wholesale re-
organization OF the admiralty board
and a restriction OF the powers Of the
naval advisers. Several admirals who
have been guilty OF placing personal
and political interests in front OF their
duty to the nation will be com
pnlsorily retired.
