NOTENOUGHSEAMEN
Reduction Of Enlisted Force Of
Navy Likely.
Some Of Uncle Sans Famous Battle
ships May BE Forced out Of
Commission Owing TO
Lack Of Sailors.

Washington. navy department
liz confronted with n probable reduc-
tion OF the enlisted force through fail
ures to re-enlist On the part OF seamen
and cnginemen now in the service, as
well as the pronounced decrease In
the number of new enlistments, which
the authorities attribute to the in
creasing demand for moderate as well
as high-priced labor occasioned by the
rising tide OF business activity
throughout the country.
Tho present authorized strength OF
the navy's enlisted fNrce is A 800. The
naval authorities have contemplated
urging TO congress an increase of 5000
In the next report OF the department.
This will not receive President Tafts
sanction. IL is questioned whether a
request for even half that number can
receive executive approval.
At the present rate of falling OF in
enlistments and re-enlistments It Is
practically certain that there will be
less than 10000 sailormen wearing
Uncle Sans livery on January /,
1910. Already the navy is 1900 shy
of its authorized strength. and the re-
duction continues day by day.
According TO the naval officers there
will not be n sufficient number of men
to man the new ships now approach
ing completion without reducing the
crews of the minor cruisers or putting
several of the older ships out OF com.
mission altogether. They do not up
prove Of laying up the new ships. AS
fast as completed they will go into
commission and into active service.
II IS said that even the newest ship
when placed in ordinary" deteriorates
much more rapidly than when at sea.
This is particularly true to their en-
gines. The only course open to the
navy is TO send the veteran ships back
To the navy yards to be partially dis
mantled and laid up until the state Of
| the national treasury justihes further
increase in the cost of maintaining the
navy.
Those most hurt by the enforced re-
, tirement of a part OF our fighting force
are the younger officers of the grade
of captain and commander. There
will be fewer chances for them TO exer.
else the command rank that has been
the ultimate aim OF all the hard work
up through the grades from midship-
man TO lieutenant-command
The vessels most likely to be re.
moved temporarily from the active list
are the Veterans Oregon. Indiana
| Massachusetts and Iowa. This will re-
lieve the pressure by reducing the ne
cessities of the line of battle feet in
the matter of seamen by over $500.
The placing of four OF five of the
smaller cruisers out of commission
would give opportunity for further
economizing to the extent OF about
| / 900 men.
