angry With OFFICERS
Prisoners Taken at Neuve Chapelle
Say They Were Forced Into Action
by Prussian Leaders.
BY JOHN c. FOSTER.

London. April 5-Bavarian and Saxon
prisoners taken in the battle at Neuve
Chapelle expressed great indignation at
the way they had been flung into that
action" says an official eyewitness mar
rative, issued by the government press
bureau today. The account. which is
dated April 2. covers operations on the
British front during the past ten days
Of March. 1t says:
"On March % there was an exchange
of shell fire around Ypres. The enemy's
guns were very active and many points
on our right center. During the night
hostile aeroplanes flew over our line and
dropped bombs on Bailleul. near Estaires,
and Merville. in Northeastern France.
No damage was inflicted. On March 30
bombs were dropped near Bethune. but
there were no casualties. On the 31st
our artillery exploded a magazine in the
German lines and obtained three direct
hits on battery. Prussians. Bavarians,
and Saxons took part in the fighting at
Neuve Chapelle.'
1t was at this point that reference to
Bavarian and Saxon Indignation was
made.
The narrative continues: THE Ba-
varians and SaXons complain they were
grossly mishandled by Prussian officers
The treatment of their wounded by the
Germans is callous. numbers lying in
front Of their trenches at various points
with no effort to pick them up. Our
men were compelled at considerable risk
to Try to reach them. The Germans
continued their fire and struck at our
men thus engaged. Although their in
tentions were obvious, there is reason to

side of the trenches were Bavarians and
Saxons. while those in the trenches were

ADMIRAL LITTLE ACQUITTED.
Secretary Daniels, However, Disap-
proves Courts Findings.

Rear-Admiral William N. Little, II.
5 NJ, retired. has been acquitted by
the court-martial before which he was
tried at the Boston Navy Yard, N.
Y, on charges of neglect of duty in
connection with his inspection of sub
marine K-2. but the findings of the
court have been disapproved by Secre-
tary Daniels.
This failure of the Navy Depart
ment to concur in the decision of court
martial will not result in a review of
the case by the court Such review
is the usual practice In actions of this
character. but Mr. Daniels has made
an exception N Rear Admiral Little's
case.
In announcing his disapproval of the
court verdict Mr. Daniels insists that
Rear Admiral Little accepted the K-2
from its builders, knowing that q
part of the vessels battery cells were
defective and exacted an understand
ing from the company that the defects
would be remedied, without acquaint-
ing the Navy Department of either
fact. In taking these steps the Secre-
t3ry says the Rear-Admiral exceeded
his authority and at the same time
failed to safeguard the interests of the
Government by securing an agreement
with the builders in such form as
would make them legally responsible.

COMPETENT AvIATORS.
Difficulty to Secure for Navy Civilian
Nav be Secured.

Despairing of being able TO secure
a sufficient number of qualified avia-
tors from the commissioned officers OF
the Navy, Secretary of the Navy Dan
iels is seriously considering plan by
which civilian ayiators can be com
misisoned in the Navy.
The Secretary is of the opinion that
some of the crack aviators of the coun-
try would accept commissions in the
Navy if given the opportunity. With
all the extra inducements that have
been offered to navy officers, only Is
have qualified as aviators; aviation
service does not appear to be very at
tractive to them.
An officer who has taken a course
at the Naval Academy became ambi-
tious to command a ship and belong
to what he regarded as the real fight
ing force of the Navy, and officers are
not inclined to give up their stations
either ashore or afioat for duty with
the Aviation Corps.
Aside from this, the Secretary is of
the opinion that aviation will event
ually develop into a speciality. He ar
CUES that a successful aviator must
have certain talents which especially
fit him for his duty. He does not be-
lieve that aviators should be commits
stoned in the line, as their service
would never qualify them to command
the fleet, but they should have GER
tain commission and allowance, which
would be sufficient inducement to
secure the most daring and skillful
auitators for this service in the Navy.
