SHAKE.-UP IN NAVY
Swift Committee FavorS the
Plan to Eliminate the
Smaller Yards.
BY JAMES HAY, Jr.

George Won L. Meyer, Secretary of the
Navy, believes that he Is near the real
ization Of his ambition TO reOrganize
the department and the fighting service
under him.
The Swift report, on which Mr.. Meyer
was consulted while IL was being pre-
pared. has been completed, and, ac-
cording to officials high in the Navy
Department it proposes drastic changes
m the Navy, OF which the two prime
suggestions are the abolition Of the
smaller navy yards and the putting TO
the fore Of younger officers in the ser
vice.
As was predicted IN The Times a
month ago, MT. Meyer has taken his
stand for consolidation Of the navy
yards aad for closer cooperation be-
tween all the bureaus and branches OF
the sea arm of Uncle Sans lighting
force.

In the Report.

The Swift report also recommends
that an advisory board be appointed so
that the powers Of the bureaus will
be limited, and cooperation between the
branches Of the service be assured and
permanent.
The suggestion that younger men be
put on the job in the navy yards is
followed up with many sweeping recon-
mendatious as 90 the management OF
the yards, so that business methods
be made the ule. The dry rot" Of
which the department Is now alleged to
be fun. IS 10 be wiped out, and the
business of the department is 20 be put
through with systematic hustle and en-
teTprise.
Secretary Meyer has spent practically
the entire summer and fan In mapping
out his reforms He has had many con-
fereHces with the President, who Is In
hearty sympathy with tine plan.
He has visited navy yards and studied
every branch OF the service in the most
exhaustive manner. The President gave

Alive to Opposition.

In proposing to abolish some Of the
navy yards now in existence, Mr.. Meyer
IS fully alive 20 the fact that the plan

Senators and Representatives In whose
districts the yards marked for abolition

ever. that. II Congress refuses TO do the
things calculated t. further the good
Of the service, Congress must accept the
responsibility. He is prepared TO fight
the matter out and, with the aid Of the
Administrations influence. hopes for
final victory.
Although nothing definite has been
given out on the subject, # is under

What is the matter with the
Churches" asks Theodore Dresser.
Editor of the Delineator, and DR.. Park
hurst answers:
"Doctorinal formulas count very
much less with Christians than former
ly Men who think carefully and feel
deeply discriminate much more sharply
than formerly between theology and
religion, between the part the intellect
plays and the part the heart and the
will play in Christianity.
There is of course, an advantage in
brooding over the great doctrines of the
gospel; and it may be made auxiliary
to the life but the invisible spirit Of the
gospel will soak into the soul to a depth
impossible to any formulation Of the
gospels meaning. These things lie out
too distinctly ON the very face of
Christ's teaching to excuse either those
in the Church or out Of it for failing to
act ON the basis of the view herewith
presented, save for the reason that a
degree of prominence, due to cCclesias
teal controversies, has been given to
the matter of the intellectual conception
of gospel truth that has obscured the
more fundamental and fruitful signih
canoe Of Christianity experienced as II
new life begun in the soul; life that
leans toward the law laid down by the
Master a life that has begun to learn
the lesson Of love taught and exempli
fed by Him. and life along the path
way of service over which He has gone
! before.
While, then, it is not to be denied
that the Christian Church is the most
powerful organization anywhere for the
uplift of the race, its power would be
tremendously enhanced if church mem
bers would realize that church priv
leges are mated with church oblga
tons, and if they would not allow the
Church to be considered SO close a
corporation as to exclude those who
ought properly to be in it, but who are
at present kept out by barriers of mis-
apprehension and tradation

At this time Of the year there are
some half million American boys and
their parents are debating the question
as to whether to go back to school this

1T is a big question for the boy.
1T is big question for the parents
"The day the boy goes to school the
mother loses her baby.
THE day the boy leaves school and
goes to work, the mother loses her child.
THE day the boy leaves school be
hind his whole relation to his family
and to the world changes. He begins a
fight that he will have to wage all his
life the fight for job.
There are certain things that school
will do for a boy and there are other
things that no school or college can do.
In the first place it isn't the rlth-
mctic, nor the geography, nor the spell
ling, nor Latin, nor geometry that the
boy "Iemns' in school that does the
real good.
"Thn only thing that school can 90
