Would Have to Lay Up
Some of It's Ships in
Case of War.
NEEDS AT LEAST
1000 NEW OFFICERS
And 10000 More Sailors Neces-
sary to Put Existing Vessels
in Fighting Trim.

Washington, Aug. 30.-At least 1000
more officers and 10000 additional men
are needed to put the present ships of
the navy on a war footing, according TO
the estimate of naval experts. II is
stated that not only are nearly all of
the ships undermined, but under the
present promotion rules ensigns are
performing the duties Of lieutenants,
leutenants are acting as lieutenant
commanders, and so on all the way up
Shortage Of officers is so great that
an officer on sick leave means a gap in
the line which cannot be filled. There
is actually not a detached officer in the
navy who can be used to fill a tenn
porary vacancy. Naval officers are seri-
ously concerned over the situation.
The personnel now available is just
sufficient, BY utilizing all the officers in
shore stations, to man most of the
ships of the navy on a peace basis. In
case of war it would be necessary, in
stead of increasing the naval forces by
the purchase and requsition of private
merchant vessels, as is commonly done,
to lay up part of he present force to
have enough men to fill the compile
ments of the other ships.
More Men the First Need.
Navy Department experts insist that
the first need of the navy is more
men. They argue that there is no use
building dreadnoughts until enough
men are obtained to at least man the
old ships
1t is pointed out that the United
States is at a peculiar disadvantage
among the major naval powers of the
world in that it has no merchant
marine from which to draft reserve
officers and scamen In the enormous
merchant feet Of the British Empire
the officers are IN great part reserve
officers of the navy and are a ready
source of material in time of war. IL
is stated that in the present war thou
sands of officers have been taken for
the navy from the merchant fleets, and
the same rule holds true of the other
European powers.
II is believed by the experts that
the United States will never solve in
adequate fashion the problem Of a
