such as has seldom been felt in naval
circles followed the publication today

posed the eboliticn Of the navy yards

last fiye years very little useful work
had been done IL any Of the yards
named.
One new navy yard is Indefinitely
suggested FOR San Francisco bay Fol

tion on san Francisco bay III some 10
eality vet to be selected Such a re-
pair station should include one or
more docks of the largest size for
taking our largess existing and con-
templated battleshipsg
On the other hand Meyer recon-
mends the further development Of the
Bremerton yards and enlargement OF
the channel al Mare Island IN view Of
the fact that a fleet at some time
after the opening Of the Panama canal
may be based in the Pacific ocean
Discussing navy wards in general the
secretary said
THE United States has over twice
as many FIRST class home navy Yards
as has Great Britain with navy at
leaa. doable the size OF ours and we
have one more navy yard Of the sec.
ond class than Great Britain bias.
IN other words We have in all eleven
Iifst and second class navy Yards in
the United States, while Great Britain
has but SIX Of the same Mind Ger
many has three and France iiye.'
The secretary recommends the
abandonment Of she yards at New Or
leaps and Pensacola on the ground
that they are atrateglcally uanccessagy.

sesretary-the second year of curiail-
ment. Notwithstanding this economy
in the past the secretary declares
there has been an increase IN the
sea-keeping ability Of the fleet OF IS
per cent; an increase Of 8 per cent in
she average speed, Of 20 per cent in
the cruising speed and an increase Of
l6 per cent in machinery horsepower
Despite this later item and the greater
mileage Of cruising, the cost Of fuel
used IN the navy has decreased 81

crease is more apparent during the

the second half that most Of the cruis-
ing occurred The cost Of maintenance
for each ship in commission has
shown decrease over the year be-
fore Of $4,000.
The secretary asks congress for
legislation establishing the present
Meyer reorganization scheme. His
recommendations in this respect, how
ever, occasioned surprise in naval cir
cles owing to their being less than
was expected. It was believed that
Meyer would request that the naval
aides, who are line officers and replace
.ahe old civilian bureau chiefs, be given
