NO PRISON FOR
NAVY DESERTERS

Washington. July 2S.-Abolition
of Imprisonment for desertion from
the navy in times of peace was or
dered today by Secretary Daniels.
Under the new regulations plue
jackets who overstay their leave or
commit similar breaches of disclp-
line will be summarily dismissed In
lead of being sent to prison. while
men who become dissatisfied with
the service and want to quit may
have an honorable discharge by
merely rcfunding certain enlistment
allowances.
This radical departure from tradi-
tional naval methods has been under
consideration by the secretary ever
since he came into office. He mas
announced that the navy practically
has a full quota-51,34 enlisted
men-compared with shortage OF
more than four thousand men Is
months ago, and that the time TO
take the step had come.
Secretary Daniels, in statement
announcing the new order, said In
part:
Establishments in the navy have al
ways been for definite period-at
present four years-and 1t has al
WAYS been difficult, ut times impos-
sible, for men to terminate their con-
tract of enlistment by honorable dis
charge before the enlistment expired.
If a man remained absent from MS
ship or duty after having been
granted u leave. this made him de-
scrter and on conviction involved n
prison sentence.
After very careful and thorough
consideration, and after referen-
dunn in which the opinions of man!
of the highest officers in the navy
was obtained, the secretary became
convinced that this general situation
was untenable. and not In Keeping
with modern business ideas. The
new order Is in accordance with the
opinions expressed by a majority OF
the officers of the navy. whose long
experience enabled them to speak
with authority.
THE secretary recognizes that the
navy is in time of peace very large
business organization, that any feel-
ing OF compulsory detention or tond-
age on the part OF the enlisted force
is undesirable; that the service Of
fers so many advantages. especially
to those desiring to make of 1t life
work to secure a practical education
that 1t can be kept fully recruited
with men who are willing to obey
and the department therefore holds
that ovcrstayed leave drunkenness
on shore, and similar offenses indi-
cate merely that the offender Is un-
fit for the service.
IN order not t. he too drastic, the
order permits commanding Officers,
in their discretion. to i'old first
offender on probati ~ On reduced pay
for periods of from six to twelve
months. but on repetition of the Of
fense he Is summarily discharged.
"The naval prisons and discir lin
arg barracks last year cost about
$1,000, 900. Under the new plan,
