Keating Disappearance.

Two or three months ago information
reached the Navy Department from the
U. s. s. Arkansas that Lieut.. Com
mander A B. Heating, o. s. N, then at
tached to that vessel. had disappeared
suddenly one night under circumstances
which were considered as Justifying the
suspicion that he had committed suicide.
While no oficial announcement Of the
death Of the oficer was made At the
Navy Department, there was a state
ment given out describing the circum-
stances. and the relatives Of the oflcer
were duly advised. II now appears that
there is reason to believe that the Of
ficer is living and that, instead Of COM
mitting suicide, he was able to reach the
shore At all events. the conditions have
justified the Navy Department in carry
ing Commander Keating on the register as
absent without authority, whereabouts
unknown" Heating was or II q mem
ber Of the Navy Mutual Aid, and ap-
plication was recently made for the
benefit which would 90 to his designated
beneficiary In the event Of his death.
The relatives Of the oflcer have been
advised that until the death IL oficiaIly
announced It is impossible to pay the

Armor Probe This Week.

The subcommittee. composed Of Senator
Tillman. Representative Padgett ard
Rear Admiral Joseph Strauss, chief Of
ordnance OF the navy, will next week
begin its inquiry as to the cost OF estab-
fishing and maintaining an armor-plate
plant. which report has been required by
Congress. The members Of the commit
tee will visit the three armor-plate plants
and seek to obtain definite Information
OF the manufacturers. II may be found
convenient to continue the sessions OF
the committee In Washington and to sum-
mon witnesses from various sources. II
is not understood that the committee
will submit any comment concerning the
advisability Of establishing an armor-
plate plant. It's functions will probably
be limited to the requirement Of Congress
as to the cost Of equipment and operation
The navy view on the subject Is by no
means altogether in favor Of the estab-
lishment Of the government plant II Is
expected. however. that the committee
win show that armor may be obtained.
or at least should be obtained. at q less
cost than 10 now represented by the
amount involved In the contracts which
were most recently awarded for this ma
terial The committee hopes to be able
to submit its report to Congress before
the hrst Of tha year or. possibly. shortly
after the beginning Of the new session.
The report win be founded on the pres
ent inquiry without regard to the obser-
walton Of experts who have been previ-
ously engaged with this problem.

Foss and Loud.

The return Of George Edmund Foss to
Congress from the Illinois district which
he formerly represented IN the House OF
Representatives IL q result Of the cleo
ton which will be received with satis-
faction by those naval, ofiicers who ap-
preciate what Mr. Foss has done for the
navy as q member and as the chair
man of the House Naval Committee. Mr..
,Foss was always while In Congress the
steadfast and loyal friend and stanch,
supporter Of naval legislation. Such an
advocate Of the navy was q real loss to
the service when he was defeated, and
his reappearance In Congress win be Of
benefit to the service. The information
he possesses concerning service matters
and his extended and intimate acquaint-
ance with naval officers will make him
a valuable associate Of Mr.. Padget who
win. Of course, continue as chairman of
the committee ID the Sixty-fourth Con-
Eress Another valuable acquisition to
the House Naval Committee win be @.
A. Loud. Of Michigan. who was formerly
q prominent and active member Of that
committee when he was In Congress
some years ago. II Is assumer that fol-
lowing his inclination and the natural
order Of events Mr.. Loud viii again ind q
place on the Naval Committee. II Is un-
usual in q new Congress for either the
military or naval committees to come
into possession Of members who are 90
well equipped and who VIII be 50 useful
to service interests as Mr.. Foss and Mr..
Loud.

War Stopped Tractor Test.

Plans OF the United States army to
test out q motor tractor Of the type used
by the armies In Europe were frustrated
by the outbreak Of war, according to the
report OF the Board Of Ordnance and For
tiication, made public here last week.
Arrangements had been completed for
French company to send to the United
States one OF its motor tractors to be
tested by American troops when the war
broke out The manufacturers promptly
notified the War Department that they
would be unable to furnish the machine
under any circumstances. and according
ly the whole matter had to be dropped.
At first the manufacturers had refused
to sell one Of their tractors. but finally
consented to send one over for testing
purposes
Among the inventions tested by direc-
ton Of the board during the last year
were portable searchlight for field ar
tillery, a German device for an artillery
observation platform. a Rrupp 3-inch field
caisson and timber. q Photographic ap-
paratus for projecting on q screen en-
largements OF photographs taken In the
field and q device for regulating the
depth Of submergence Of mines.
The report of the board includes this
year Xs annual statement regarding the
Emory disappearing gun carriage, for
test of which Congress has In the last
twenty-one years appropriated more than
t150ooo, without the inventor ever having
completed the carriage 50 II could be
tested. The War Department has always
disapproved OF these APPROPRIATIONS.

Personnel Board Report.

The special board which has been en-
gagged IN preparing the hnsl report on
naval personnel relief has not come to a
final agreement upon anything. although
there has been drafted q report concern
ing the line leaving the problem Of the
stan to be taken up later. As has been
stated In these columns. the board favors
the establishment OF q reserve list, which
for several years 70 come will be nuIneri-
cally unimportant II Is estimated that
for the first year or two not more than
fifteen or twenty ofhcers In the aggre-
gate viii be Transferred to the reserve
list. This Is due TO the fact that, as the
board will point out In its report, the
ages of officers in the various grades are
less than was originally pointed out as
necessary, and that retirements on ae-
count Of excessive age-in-grade VIII not
be necessary for some years It is pro-
posed that the transfers TO the reserve
list shall include oflcers Of the rank Of
captain to lieutenant and possibly to heu-
tenant Cjunior grade-) These transfers
win be controlled by length Of service IN
each grade from I'VE to seven years, the
exact period not yet determined upon
BY this means II IL expected to regulate
promotion in O way which will be effec-
tive. The board II inclined to make much
Of the fact that there Il M Immediate
necessity Tor en1orced retirement or
transfer to the reserve list In order to
facilitate promotion. excepting. Of course,
in the lowest grades, where the obstruc-
tion must by some means be removed
This will account for a certain number
Of transfers from the active list, and
the situation will hereafter be relieved
by limiting the number Of midshipmen
who shall be commissioned as ensigns.
That number will be regulated by the in
definite situation known as the needs
Of the service" and is likely to be fixed
arbitrarily with some desire to prevent
the stagnation which now confronts jun
ior officers and especially those who are
at the Naval Academy. Those graduates
at Annapolis who are not commissioned
win probably be discharged with q years
pay, a return to the former method when
there was a limit on the number Of ON
GERS who were commissioned. When 1t
comes to the stan, the question IL very
much unsettled. There is opposition to
the plan Of promoting star officers with
their running mates Of the line. the OBJ
lection coming, OF course. mainly from
line officers. II IL expected that the re-
serve list win be open to stan officers as
well as line oficers, inasmuch as that
plan meets with general approval in the
service

Adopts Electric Drive.

The Secretary OF the Navy has decided
that there shall be installed on board
the new battleship California. which viii
be built at the New York Navy Yard
the electric-drive type OF motive power
This Is the result Of the demonstration
on board the naval collier Jupiter rem
dered to the satisfaction Of the bureau
Of steam engineering during. particular
iy. the trip from the West coast TO Phil
cargo OF condemned material obtained
at Mare Island and Puget Sound and
brought to the East coast, where there
Is a market for the maseriaL When the
electric drive was first presented to the
attention Of the bureau of oteam engf-
neering, Il was realized that the type
was worth considering. brit 1t was ap-
preciated that II would not be wise or
prudent to install II on board q battle-
ship, inasmuch as 1t had never been
subjected to test under practical condi-
lions. The claims Of the inventors and
manufacturers have been 20 fully sus-
tained In the performances Of the Jupiter
that on the recommendation Of Rear Ad-
miral r. S. Grimm, engineer-in-chief OF
the navy, Secretary Daniels this week de-
cided to authorize the installation on
board the battleship which win be con-
structed by the government The two
battleships which are being built under
contract VIII be equipped with the Cur
tiss and Parsons turbines. respectively,
affording an opportunity for direct com
parison between the three types Of bat
tleship machinery. BY the time II be-
comes necessary for the Navy Depart
ment to determine on the type OF ma
chinery for the battleships next author
lied by Congress, II Is expected there
WIN be further information available on
account of the additional experience OBJ
tanned with the Jupiter. and II viii be
possible to decide whether or not the
electric drive shall be installed on all
battleships hereafter built.
