Navy Yards.

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 3.-Despite
the agitation to close some of the
navy yards along the southern coast,
Secretary of the Navy Meyer will op.
pose such step for the present. This
mrch was made plain in his annual
report submitted to president TAFT
Secretary Meyer aays that he Is not
entirely convinced that the govern
ment can advantageously give up
sites, in which large expenditures
have been made, until after the open
ing Of the Panama canal, when it defi-
nltely can be demonstrated which are
likely to be the greatestvalue.
Panama Canal a Factor.
1T is not unknown In the history OF
the government" says the secretary.
that nautical reservations have been
given up and later were bought back
at an increased cost" Again in dis.
cussing the same subject, he says
that the completion of the Panama
canal, the development OF trade II
the Gulf OF Mexico and the whole
Caribbean REGION, and the probable In
crease of the naval establishment K
meet our national responsibilities II
that area viii probably call for sun
ply stations, in part for the heav,
fleet but principally for the torpedo
craft and submarines and the smaller
vessels needed there"
He urges the extreme desirability'
of developing the naval station part

with the opening OF the Panama
canal, the Caribbean sea will become
| the scene of greatest commercial ac
tivity, and our responsibility as &c

The Secretary reviews In detail his
proposed plan for the reorganization
Of the navy, and in addition makes
many recommendation for the con
duct of affairs in his department.
New 5attleships.
Two more battleships Of the alIbig
gun type are recommended to be con
lstructed, but on account of the desire
to keep down the expenditures. he
asks only for repair ship in addition
to these two proposed giants Of the
sea.
The completion OF the big dry dock
at Brooklyn navy yard Is urged, and
| furthermore the secretary says that
ut Is clear that one dock on the At
lantic coast, for docking our largest
battleships, is not suffient since that
one might be injured" In this con
Incction, he points out that the provis
ions for the docking of heavy vessels
injured or damaged in action or b,
stranding are almost entirely lacking
and that but few navy yards exis
on either coast which have sufficien
water to dock an injured battleshil
