BILL WOULD CREATE
SIX VICE ADM|RALS
Measure Passed by Senate
After Extended Debate.
Daniels Is Highly Pleased

Washington, February l3.=Si& vice ad-
mirals for the American navy would be
authorized under a bin passed today by
the Senate after an extended debate. In
which a senator told of how the COM
mander of the battleship fleet in
Mexican waters might have to take orders
from ranking foreigner. The navy has
been appealing for years for revival
of a higher grade than rear admiral.
Secretary Daniels was highly pleased
by the Senate's action and expressed
confidence tonight that the peasure would
pass the House promptly and be signed
by the President.
THE ablest best and most resourceful
officers will be chosen for the new
grade he added. mot necessarily the
present seniors in rank
Under the terms of the Senate bill four
vice admirals on the active list of the
line would be appointed within ono year
after the measure becomes law, the other
two to be named as soon as practicable.
Opposition Loses
Considerable opposition to the bill de-
veloped, but it lost force upon the ac-
eeptance of an amendment by Senator
Lodge to provide that the number of rear
admirals and vice admirals should not
exceed the present number of rear adj
mirals on the active list, which is is.
Another amendment adopted. submitted
by Senator Bristow. would fix the retire
ment age at Go years instead of 81. as pro-
vided in the original bill introduced by
Senator Bryan OF Florida. In urging this
amendment Senator Bristow declared he
had endeavored repeatedly to increases
the geenral retirement age to G5 years
and that this bill presented an excellent
opportunity for Congress to set a prece-
dent. The age limit in other grades. he
predicted, would be advanced before many
years.
Reed Fights Measure
Several senators, among them Senator
Reed of Missouri stood out against the
measure to the end. Senator Reed de-
clared that it would merely make room
for more high grade officers, and was
not designed to improve sthe service. The
efforts to retire capable officers for the
benefit of others, he said, had risen to
the point of a scandal.
During the discussion of the condition
in Mexican waters, it was pointed out
that joint operations by the foreign ma
tions represented there would result in
the American navy, with six battleships
and a read admiral surrendering COM
mand to a British vice admiral with two
cruisers.
Senator Overman declared that this hu-
initiation would result merely because
the United States navy has no grade of
vice admiral
