Paymaster General MCGOWAN, chief

that bureau.
Five naval officers says he in a

account $4,000. This work, or a con-
siderable part of it. has fallen to the

in a way l never saw equaled- For
example, the time required to award
contracts has decreased over so per
cent, while the volume of work was in
creasing at least IS per cent. And this
takes no account Of logistics, which is
a new thing here, but has come to stay.
I'm eighteen months, just prior to
making the estimates, 80 per cent of
our entire civilian force left for where
they could do better. Two resigna-
lions and an application for transfer

pared with other departments, partic-
ularly Agriculture. where most of
them seem to go.
Since January /, 1914, our loss through

per cent. Day before yesterday ono of

just such men-to keep them here by pay

Supplies and accounts is the very back
bone of the navy's supply system. and I
am striving by every means within my
power to strengthen 1t day by day. But
with our experienced and expert civilians
being forced to seek employment else
where, because there Is little or no hope
for them here. the situation becomes SO
alarming that in the interest of military
