Calls Sharp Attention to Policy Of In.
ertia in Naval Management.
oyster Bay, N. T., Aug. 30.-Former
President Theodore Roosevelt Satur-
day night issued another lengthy
statement in reply to Secretary of War
Garrison in the controversy brought
about by Mr.. Roosevelt's Plattsburgh
speech. Colonel Roosevelt took issue
with the secretary on the administra-
tons attitude toward Mexico and
Haiti. He also called attention to what
he called the unpreparedness Of our
fleet. saying in part:
II point out to him that for nearly
two years in 1913 and 1914, the ships
Of the navy were never exercised in
fleet maneuvering and, as am reliab-
ly informed, were never exercised, IN
fleet or squadron gunnery. A moder-
ately intelligent child Of six knows
that the failure for two years to un-
dertake such maneuvers means liter
ally criminal deterioration in the fleet
and cannot possibly mean anything
else. No expert knowledge is needed
on this point, it is a mere matter OF
ordinary common sense.
"The very great falling off in the
gunnery that was shown by the results
last spring and the early part OF the
summer are directly due to this cul-
pable misconduct in handling our navy.
and 1t represents unpreparedness OF
the very worst kind because unpre-
paredness that takes the shape OF let
ting the weapons that have been made
ready utterly detcriora.e is even worse
than failure to rrovide new weapons

Passengers on Liner
Wear Identification
Tags Thru War Zone

New York, Aug. 3o.-Passengers
arriving here today aboard the
steamer Espagne from Bordeaux
wore Identification tags issued to
them before sailing SO that they
might be identified in case German
submarines should send their ship
to the bottom while passing thru
the war zone. II was the first time
that such tags had been worn by
passengers aboard liner since the
war began.
To escape submarines the Es-
payne sailed at 2 o'clock in the
morning CT Aug. 2l, shortly after
the sinking of the Arabic had be-
come known. The trip, however,
was without special incident.
Among the passengers was DIR. G.
Burns Craig, of the New York
Neurological Institute. who had
been in Paris for ten months,
studying the effect Of constant fir
ing On the nerves of soldiers. DR..
Craig said that the whine Of rifle
bullets was apparently not harmful
to the nervous systems of the men
in the trenches, as they soon be-
come accustomed to 1t, but that
the crashing of big guns had a
very serious effect, as the sound
shattered the nerves and made
some men insane.

1s63-ship Registry Act Responsible.

Washington Aug. 30.-Concessions in
the enforcement against American
commerce Of the British order in coun-
Gil were announced today as a result
Of informal negotiations just completed
by the foreign trade advisers Of the
state department.
The British ambassador, Sir Cecil
Spring Rice, assured the trade advisers
that British informal representations in
cases where the British orders have
caused undue hardship" to American
commerce will receive special consid-
Grafton.
Information in the hands Of the state
department that private brokers were
securing permits in London for ship
ments Of sccds from Rotterdam, while
the trade advisers were unable even to
present special cases, was transmitted
to London.
More Ships in Trade.
The American flag now floats over
more ships in the foreign trade than at
any time since 1853. and the United
States is pressing close on France and
Norway as q marine nation.
Figures made public today show
record increase in American ships for
the year ending June 30 There are
registered 2.76S ships totaling 1,s13,775
gross tons, ar increase Of 363 ships
and 737,623 tons for the year.
Practically all the increases are due
to the new American registry law. As
sistant Secretary Sweet. of the depart
ment Of commerce, said ina statement
today:
This is about triple the increase in
registered tonnage for any previous
year In American history. Our tonnage
is now much greater than at any time
since 1863 when we had 2,026.114 gross
tons in foreign trade. It is many times
more efficient, however, as the steam
tonnage now amounts to 1,273,067 gross
tons, while in 1868 it amounted to only
1925 tons.
1.-The increase from the ship registry
act of Aug. 1S 1914, to June 13, 1915,
was so rapid that tonnage under the
American flag now employed in foreign
trade is nearly equal to such tonnage
under the French or Norwegian flags.
British tonnage Of course is more than
ten fold greater"
