Twelve of Thirty-three Ships Not in
Service Because Sailors Are Lacking.
WASHINGTON, oct. 22,-How 1900 adj
ditional men would be needed by the
American navy to man all of it's ships
Tor war was explained In a statement
issued last night by Acting secre-
tary Roosevelt supplementing Secretary
Daniels recent reply to published criti-
cisms Of the navy's preparedness.
While admitting that 12 Of the 80 bat
teshlps cannot be put in service on ac-
count Of the shortage of men, Mr. 2oose-
welt declared that in regard to ships and
equipment tho navy Is in excellent shape.
Like Secretary Daniels, the acting
secretary maintained that battleships
still are the paramount factors 'in any
war in which the belligerents are sepa-
rated by great distances of water" The
value of submarine In their present state
OF development for coast defense purposes
and for offensive attacks within a short
radius was conceded.
In regard to the numbers of the Of
hcers and men of the navy" Mr.. Roose-
Welt said, there has never been an at
tempt to hide the fact that although the
IlullIDeIS are recruited up TO inc llnllI III
lowed by Congress, we have only suf-
hcient men to man in an adequate man
ner portion of the vessels already built.
AT the present time three second-line
battleships, two armored cruisers. four
ffst-class cruisers, one second-class
cruiser, two third-class cruisers. 2l de-
stroyers, three monitors, five submarines,
one gunboat. three fuel ships and two
vessels of special type are in commission
if reserve; that is to say, they have on
board only from 25 to so per cent Of the
crows necessary to man them In case
of war.
There are also six second-line battle
ships, one armored cruiser, one cruiser,
second class and IA torpedoboats which
are In the condition technically called in
ordinary These vessels are manned by
from 10 to 20 per cent. of their regular
Meanwhile the problem Is becoming
moro difficult. as time goes on, because of
the vessels under construction which
must shortly be provided with crews.
For instance. during the coming year,
two battleships, the Oklahoma and
Nevada will take their places with the
fleet Each of these vessels will require
a complementary nearly 1000 men each"

For years, enthusiastically. some
member Of congress. or some gentle
man connected with the treasury de-
partment, has risen up to declare that
the greenbacks are q menace and
should be retired. At every repeti-
ton Of that we wondered how much
the account Of the gentleman is over
drawn in some national bank.
When the men who Of late years
have been SO solicitous, lest the
sound money of the country may in
some way be tainted cry out in that
strain, old people are forced to re-
member that when the government,
under the stress Of the great war,
seemed almost lost, these same gen.
tlemen or their fathers had locked
up their gold and kept 1t locked up
until the clouds began to lift and then
came forward and forced upon the
government a national bank system
founded on the country's debts in
stead of upon its assets, the inten-
ton being to keep the people paying
interest forever, and SO graded that
the richer the country become the
more interest would the people be
obliged to pay.
Before this benevolent plan was
incubated to have some kind Of a
circulating medium on which the
government and people could do
business the government issued its
promises to pay. These promises
were called greenbacks. There was
nothing behind them but faith in the
integrity Of the government and the
property of the people. Vast amounts
of them were issued, but after the
war was over the government began
to call them in and finally had de-
stroyed all but 1884, 100000 Of
them and secured their redemption
by placing 500, 100000 in gold in the
treasury, which was 80 per cent OF
their whole amount. Behind that was
all the property of the great repub-
lie. Since then those greenbacks
have been the hardest worked money
