the number of gallons of oil and the number Of
gallons of water used in the engines, dynamoS
and auxiaries.
Competition thus engendered and intelligently
rewarded for success or failure has compelled
study of the enlisted man by the officer which
has resulted in a feeling of mutual nterdepend-
ence which has brought officer and man in
relationship which makes snobbishness on the
one hand and misunderstanding the other more
nearly impossible every day
To fit the man to his position of maximum
usefulness in the navy demands therefore no
change in existing mechanism OF effort The
only thing necessary is to coordinate and to
direct to a given end the forces already in ex
istence on every ship and at every station Of the
navy.
This given purpose is two-fold in character
First, to use the navy to give education, broad
mindedness and personal efficiency to each Of
ficer and enlisted man In the service, training
each Individually to give the highest possible
returns in actual useful effort for the money
expended for his pay and training.
This first aim will send forth among our cti-
zenship each year approximately 1000 men, each
of whom is qualified by his industrial training,
by his association with officers and men of diff
ferent nations, by his habit of mind Of intelli-
gent comprehension and quick, well-discplined
action and by his broad understanding of world
POLITICS, to act as a center for spreading knowl-
edge Of discipline, of good citizenship. OF the
highest ideals Of mental, physical and spiritual
efficiency, through every section Of our United
States
Second, from the body of men thus qualified
the employer will be able to select, from exact
records the man fitted in every respect for best
efficiency in any given position. Letters from
some of the largest employers Of labor in the
country show that they are now employing men
holding honorable discharges from the navy and
getting from them higher efficiency than from
the average man.
Give greater certainty Of direction to the in
dustrial education Of each man and it Is not pos.
sible to avoid the conclusion that greater eff
cheney still will result.
Let us pass now to consideration of the ma
terial side of the navy. Do you realize that
when ship of our fleet visits foreign port
she carries on board practical, complete, work
ing demonstrations of the best and latest Ameri
can-made types Of machinery?

Ihls feeling is based upon the fact that the spe-
clalzed INDUSTRIES of today demand specialized
education. Vocational training in the public
schools, IN extension courses and the still more
highly specialized training of the corporation
schools, are all long steps in the right direction.
An accurate fitting of the round peg to the
round hole demands however, something in adj
dition TO the above. The navy requires "a trades
to administer to its needs All these trades are
under the common direction of one head. Each
ship contains modern machinery for each trade
TO attain maximum efficiency.
Does it not seem possible that during the
four years of the enlistment period the natural
capabilities of each man might be worked out
in such way as to practically insure locating
this man in any profession to which his par
ticular type of brain and mental and physical
equipment best fit him?
: Fitting the individual man in the navy to his
position of maximum usefulness means care
full, personal, unsefsh consideration of the am
Fbitions and capabilities of each man by the Off
L3ers under whom he serves. Mutual understand
ing between officer and enlisted man in the navy
Is being developed at wonderfully rapid rate
In the first place, very large majority of the
work in the navy is with machinery. Officer and
man are both in oyeralls
The officer is Mr.. Brooks for example and the
man Is simply Smith," but that is practically
the only distinction between the officer and the
man, except such as is given by the power of
the officer to serve the enlisted man and TO
bring him to his highest point Of efficiency
In the forward turret of the Alabama, for ex-
ample the ordinary seaman In charge Of the
hoist motor has found that tightening a certain
clutch will give greater speed to his car.
Mr. Brooks, think little change will give
us a quicker ammunition supply"
What do you recommend"
The man then explains his idea and the entire
turret crew gather around to discuss the advis-
ability of the change Each member of the tur.
ret crew Is just as vitality interested in the sue
cess of the turret as the officer is, and each man
knows that his best effort is absolutely essential

In this way machinery on the ships has proved
great force working toward intelligent democ-
racy in the navy.
The second force tending to draw officer and
man together is the fact that the efficiency of
each officer and man, from the commander in
chief to the latest recruit on board is a matter
Of exact record.
THE shots that hit are the shots that count, "
and, incidentally they are the only shots that

DEMOCRATS IN DEADLOCK
Iron County Dems in Convention Tues
day Last Had Interesting Session

|
Although there are but few democrats
IN Iron county, that few demonstrated
that they can create little interest
when they set out TO do so for in,
convention last Tuesday afternoon,
they deadlocked on delegates to the
state convention and held in that way
for considerable of the afternoon.
The cause of il all is the post office
at Crystal Falls and the desire of each
contender for the Office TO demonstrate
70 the powers that be his ability TO
do things in Iron county. The ap-
plicant; for the post Office, as is well
known, are Ward J. Kelly and John
Tufts. Mr. Kelly has the backing of
the organization democrats and of Jas.
f. Corcoran who was a delegate to
the national convention at Baltimore
two years ago. Mr.. Tufts has the sup.
port of large number of friends and
OF Chas. Neugebauer who was until
last week chairman Of the county
committee. If the Tutts party could
demonstrate that they can send
delegates as required by the state
organization. then they would be in
the saddle, conversely if the Kelly sup.
porters can demonstrate that they can
do things tnen they are the fellows
who will have the pull at head
quarters. That is the way things
lined up before the primary

contest for delegates started and the
results of the election was that in the
