the applicants that the institution has

WANTS BEST MEN
< IN THE NAVY YARDS
Secretary Meyer Plans to
Abolish System of Putting
Old Men in Charge.
BY JAMES HAY, j.

George Won L. Meyer, Secretary OF the
Navy was actuated in his recent shake
up among the comm2 adants of navy
yards by his desire % secure for these
important posts tho most enicien, men
in the service
IL was his FIRST step toward the con-
summation Of a policy which overthrows
the custom Of putting into the COM
mandantshipS those men who have
grown old in the service and have been.
therefore, considered TO he entitled 20
comfortable biilets and pleasant houses,
irrespective Of their qualifications cor
managing ;be yards. What Mr.. Never
wants is men who are emiHently quail
fed 70 do the work.
Friends nf the Secretary pointed out
today that he had made the shifts Of
commandants not so much because ne
wanted his plan put into effect 'dipiO-
matically." but he wanted strong exec
utIves. For instance. Rear Admiral
Leutze, who was taken away from
Washington and sent 20 New York, has
never been famous for his diplomacy
He is in the habit Of Issuing his com
mands and having them obeyed IN short
order. He has made his reputation as
one Of the abIest men in the service by
his directness and quickness IN dealing
with all matters brought before him.
Rear Admiral Osterhaus. who has
been detailed 10 the Mare Island yard.
and Captain Grant. sent TO the Phila-
delphia yard, make mp with Admiral
Leutze one OF the ablest trios to be
found in the naval service, according
to those who are familiar with the re-
cords OF the departments workers.
Ever since he became head of the de-
paTtmeHt Mr.. Meyer has worked un-
.ceasingly for the sole object Of iucreas-
ing efficiency in the navy, and, in TAX
irC this first sweeping step toward put
ting tine navy yards u~ der the most ef-
fcient men, he has embarked on the
new policy with all sails set
