NAVY LACKS 5000 MEN,
BUREAU CHIEF STATES
Substantial Growth Noted,
However, and Increase in
Fleet Equipment.

The navy is about 5000 men short Of its
authorized strength. though latest re-
ports show an improvement in recruiting.
In the past few months, however. en-
Hstment dropped Off in an unprecedent-
ed degree. Navy officials believe this
was due partly to the suspension OF ad-
vestising for men and on account of the
country wide demand and the high price
paid for farm labor.
Despite this fact, however, the navy
had a substantial growth both in material
and personnel during the last fiscal year.
according to the report of Rear Admiral
Andrews. chief of the bureau of naviga-
ton. Navy Department. The fleet of
warshipa was increased by 14S.S52 tons.

Reception This Evening.
MANY RARE CANvAsES SHOWN

The Corcoran Gallerys fourth biennial
exhibition of oil paintings by cotem-
porary American artists will open this
evening with a private view and recep-
ton. From tomorrow until the 18th of
January it will be free to the public under
the usual restrictions and conditions
This is regarded as an event Of much
Importance not only to connoisseurs and
collectors of art, but to the general pub
lie AS the president of Columbia Uni
versity once said. the two things which
survive the ravages of time are art and
ideas 1t is art which reflects most truly
contemporary life and which to subse-
quent ages witnesses to the intelligence
culture and ideals of the nation or people
who gave it birth. Such an exhibition as
this in which the majority of the leading
painters OF our day are represented should
not therefore be regarded merely as of
passing interest and the concern of a few
but as Of wide significance and of mo-
lnent to all who have broad and intelli-
gent outlook.
There are no less than 346 paintings
comprised in this exhibition. The entire
permanent collection of the Corcoran
Gallery Of Art has been removed and tenn
porarily stored SO that this transient col
lection could be adequately shown Every
gallery on the upper floor is given over
to the exhibition, and works have been
hung even the walls of the atriurn
Great care has been taken in arrange
ment-the pictures are hung in Il single
line and with sufficient space between the
frames to insure the best effect This is
a great improvement over the overcrowd-
ing which in all exhibitions was preya-
lent few years ago

In Behalf of Retired Officers.

The admiral strongly urges the removal
of a legal limitation upon the employ
ment Of retired officers by firms filling
government contracts, holding that the
government would profit much by such
employment of skilled officers, over whom
the government has legal control. guar
anteeing against improper action on their
part.
Unless something Is done to redistribute
the present force Of officers in the various
grades, there is certain to be in a near
future condition of stagnation, the ad-
miral asserts.
The prospects are that junior lieuten-
ant would be fourteen years In that
grade and could not become a commander
under fifty-eight years Of age. leaving
only four years before retirement for
service as commander. captain and flag
officer.
The Navy Department is about to SUBJ
NIT to Congress a complete scheme for
the creation of a naval reserve, which
will double our naval force In time OF
