Navy's Need of Officers.

Secretary Daniels announcement that the an
nual output OF the United States Naval Academy
at Annapolis is to be increased by 800 graduates
is welcome and timely, particularly in view OF the
fact that the United States navy the basis OF
ships built and building is short 1000 officers and
600 enlisted men, exclusive OF the three super
Dreadnoughts authorized last year, but on which
contracts have not been let.
Obviously with shortage large at present,
and with three Dreadnoughts requiring approxi-
matcly sevcnty-fivc commissioned officers yet to
be laid down. any proposed increase in the NUM-
Der of ships in the navy must be accompanied by
IA marked increase in available officers.
In this connection it is grave question whether
the proposed increase will be sufficient, particularly
in view of the certain increase in submarine re-
quircments. 1t is a question whether Secretary
Daniels will not find strong support among his
naval officers for pushing again his bill to make
possible the graduation OF a warrant officer into
the ranks of graduates from Annapolis. This pro-
posal suggests serious step. and not to be
taken hastily. The commissioned personnel of the
United States navy embraces thoroughly trained
and equipped group of naval experts and they
command this distinction because their careers
from the day they entered Annapolis have been
shaped to that end. There is no question but that
to let down the bars to men who have been spend
ing the same amount OF time perfecting themselves
in special part OF naval work that the COM
missioned officer devotes to each individual de-
partment OF the work will not only lower the high
standard OF professional equipment of the conf
nlissioned personnel, but will deprive that person
mel OF the invaluable aid of the specialized perec
tion OF the Warrants
If time permits the safer and better course
would be to increase the commission capacity of
the Naval Academy TO the point where all possible
requirements of the navy would be assured of full
fillment. If this cannot be accomplished through
the single academy at Annapolis, second academy
might we'll be established on the Pacific Coast, as
has been suggested by former President Taft.
In connection with the general question, it
might not be out of place to remind the country
that the shortage Of officers in the navy is almost
ineonsequential compared to the shortage which
! any defensive army would feel in the event of
serious international difficulty.

Men wrote. for the most part. in those
carly days. only to set some business
forward, of church or state.
1t was thus that Capt. Smith had writ
ten his True Relation" of the first plant.
ing Of Virginia. his Prescription Of New
England" and his General History OF
Virginia. Summer Isles. and New Eng
land" and that the many books, grea,
and small. about the planting Of the
colonies had come into existence.
Partisans of each enterprise set its
merits forth; opponents fOredoomed it to
failure; those who had tried America
and found it n bitter place to live in
spoke out in ridicule. condemnation
SANDER against it.
1t was in a like tone. as of men who
carry an enterprise forward in theil
words. that the governing divihes of the
New England commemorative had ut
tered their treatises upon the workings
Of providence and the disciplinary pur-
poses of the established polity among
them.
Mr.. Hooker's discourses rang always
of mans salvation or of the affairs OF
state which must rule his conduct.
Mr.. Cotton spoke always a purpose
to govern men by the terms of his Puri-
tan creed.
Roger Williams wrote always of some
matter that touched his mission as the
founder of a free commonwealth Or an
evangelist among the Indians.
Cotton Mather had set down. in his
rugged Tudor prose, the judgments OF
God among men. as they had been re-
vealed to him in the lives of those who
had lived about him or In the affairs
Of the New England churches.
Even their verses were but another
engine OF doctrine and reproof. when
they made verse their vehicle of utter
ance. as did Michael Wigglesworth. the
little shadow of man." more soul than
body, who through half century was
pastor at Maiden.
Not until that first century of initial
strife and experiment had closed and a
new age had come. with broader out
looks and airs of common enterprise. did
any touch of genius lift letters to the
levels Of abiding power.
In Jonathan Edwards the doctrine and
philosophy of the Puritan churches
found a voice which knew the full ga
NUT of noble and effective speech.
Every thought that he touched lived
His mind wrought always with gift
Of creation.
What he wrote was no longer the mere
matter of the preacher; it was always
The Washington herald., 1915-09-14

living matter of thought as well. which
searched meanings to their bottom, and
was put forth to be reckoned with by
every man who pondered aught OF the
weightier matters Of his life.
But it was spoken at the end Of an
age. The cool eighteenth century had
come in.
Men were beginning to ask. not for
counsels Of Righteousness. but for CON-
mon sense maxims of conduct, for a
philosophy OF this world. not Of the
next: and were turning away from the
religion, as they were turning away from
| the politics OF the age gone by.
They stopped once and again to re-
cord what that age had done.
Each little commonwealth could pres
emily point to some quiet gentleman. like
Mr.. Hugh Jones and Mr.. Robert Bev-
efley in Virginia, and MIR. Thomas Prince
in Massachusetts,, who had made note
Of its history while yet the memory OF
it was fresh. its documents safe at hand.
But the passion of the older time was
no longer upon them. The spirit Of an.
other day turned mems faces to the fu-
ture, rather than to the past New IL
fairs were afoot new thoughts astir. and
men who thought. thought upon the .n-
terprises and the principles of their own
day.
Mr.. Benjamin FRANKLIN was tnelr typl-
cal man of letters.
That he was a man of letters seemed
only an accident of his career as man
of affairs. His plain. straightforward
manly prose seemed with him an tnstru'
ment of business. For all It had about
it the flavor of his singular individuality
and had an unmistakable touch of the
nice art of speech upon 1t. 1t used every
where the accents Of the shop. the street
the lecture room, or the council cham.
Der, and had seldom about II the free
disengagement of letters.
The homely saws and wise maxims ~
Poor Richards Almanack" had the true
flavor of his career. and were as close
to practical experience as he himself
kept all his life through.
His passion for physical science oftel-
times took him. it is true. away from the
work day world into the realms oi
speculation: bu. science was for him.
after all. but the experimental side OF
practical achievement in the arts ala
conveniences of life.
He was a savant Of the people.

Those seventy-frc Washington business men
who Yesterday stepped into their automobiles and
made dash into the fertile territory surrounding
the Capital City, trade promoting trip under
the auspices Of the Retail Merchants Association,
are bound to bring business TO this city-most of
it to thcmsevcs-somc, perhaps, to their COM
petitors. They are displaying the enterprise and
the spirit that wins. Washington is entitled to and
deserves goodly share of the patronage of the
towns in Maryland. Virginia, and West Virginia
that thriving and prosperous. but less ad-
vantageously situated and not so closely in touch
with the wholesalers and the choice products of
the big factories. The expedition which put forth
yesterday intends to bring that patronage in.
These merchants have disregarded an old adage
and gone hunting with brass band. They may
be depended upon to tell our neighbors, when they
flock to hear the music all about the delights and
the profits of day spent in the Capital aside
from those afforded by its splendid shops. They
are doing all of Washington's interests real
serviee.

Perquisites.
BY JOHN ID. BARRY.

An eccentric man made peculiar complaint to
la group of friends in house where happened to
be calling.
Every morning" he said, "as I walk down
town, l have occasion to pass building in pro-
cess of construction In front of the building is
a narrow boardwalk. Only one person can pass
on it. Often as l cross meet workmen coming
from the opposite direction. Involuntary, when
they me approaching. they step off and leave
the boardwalk to Now they do that, of course "
he rcsentfully concluded, simply and solely be-
cause l am better dressed than they arc"
We all listened with some interest and amuse-
ment but in silence.
Finally one OF the group spoke up. Don't
you know that that little experience of yours is
one of the perquisitics of the prosperous?"
