ARMY AND NAVY NOTES
Resignation of Naval Constructor
Evans Is lntimated.
From The Tribune Bureau. ]
WoeI,iuytor Iani,


TOO MANY EXPERTS EMBARRASS-
ING-The President has sustained the Sec
retary Of the Navy in refusing TO grant to
Naval Constructor II. A. Evans, L. S. ".
leave of absence FOR one year without pay.
That officer applied for such extended
leave and Mr.. Meyer refused TO grant IT, on
the ground that the reasons therefor wers
not sufficient TO justify the favor. Naval
Constructor Evans thereupon appealed 10
the President. which he had right 10 do
under naval regulations. The officer point
ed out that he had an offer from +. W.
Taylor Of Philadelphia, an authority on
scientific shop management TO take up
that work, with which subject Constructor
Evans has been occupying his time and
study for some time. Evans promised TO
return to navai duty and be OF whatever
aid he might for two years after the ex-
piration OF his years leave. The letter the
President has written TO the Secretary OF
the Navy on this subject is interesting as
indicating Mr. Tafts desire not to have too
many experts engaged in the reform OF
naval administration. He says:
am strongly in favor Of the improve
ment of business methods in the govern
ment. but ] am familiar with the efforts
you have made in this direction, and must
concur with you In your judgment as 10
the proper method OF securing these i'm
provements. Were YOU TO yield 70 the per-
sonal predictions Of every naval construc-
tor TO the best method to be pursued
and studied you would find yourself very
much embarrassed by diverse counsel aud
theories For this reason l concur In your
refusal to grant the leave requested.
There has been some intimation that
Naval Constructor Evans. II denied this
extended leave, would tender bis reaigna~
ton.

How Carnegie Treats laborers.

Mr. Carnegie said that II any one could
encompass a greater truth In fewer words
than had Mr.. Sherman's father, his good
friend General Sherman, when he said

prize. He went on TO say that no sounder
economic principle existed than that OF
treating workmen generously and that OF
reckoning I'm the cost of manufacture the
injury TO the workmen employed in pro-
ducing the article dealt in. His native
country was ahead of America In this re-
gard. he thought, and he told OF the visits

ing his household servants against injury.

I'm looking back over a period Of twenty
six years as an employer OF workmen-

THE BUSINESS GELD,

Ihat the gradual improvement or
business conditions and trade generally
continues in spite of the disturbances
ments and other causes which have
combined to create a letharsic rather
than a nervous condition is the con-
census OF expert opinion upon the bust
ness situation and predictions are for
a complete revival of activity. 1t is
pointed out that there is nothing fund
amentall!- different in the country or
in business conditions and that nothing
has occurred TO change them seriously.
The country has been waiting for the
time while certain changes and adapta-
tons are being argued and decided up
on and during that period OF waiting
there has been recession Of trade
from the intense activity Of the previ-
Gus ten years.
The records OF bank clearinss and Of
failures are hailed by the large COM
mercial agencies as proof of a begin
ming revival of trade. Bank clearings.
