OPEN WAY TO
ADVANCE IN
THE NAVY
Sec. Daniels Would Make 1t
Possible for Any Enlisted
Man to Win Advancement
and Become An Admiral

Washington, Mar. 30.--Among
Secretary Daniels other ideas given
by him 10 the house naval commit
tee today was the suggestion that
the government provide for reserve
including every sort OF available men
from boilermakers to private yacht
owners.
He said that the way should be
cleared so that every enlisted man
should know he had chance to rise
and become an admiral.
Daniels recommended that the
English course at Annapolis be made
as good as the one at Harvard.
Washington, Mar. 30--Attempts
Iof big navy members to heckle
Secretary Daniels while he addressed
the house naval committee today
were foiled by Chairman Padgett.
II recommend $500 additional
enlisted men, $500 apprentice sea-
men, 2,l52 hospital corps attendants,
1000 marines. bringing the total
personnel up to 67.5sa." said Daniels
amid repeated efforts to interrupt
him
Padgett finally silenced those who
sought to annoy the secretary. an
nouncing that each member would
have a chance to question Daniels
after he had finished
Daniels warned the committee
against paying too much heed to
individual officers who failed tC
agree with the general naval board.
| II want to advise the committee
that navy officers who testified here
gave only their personal views" said
Daniels.

"ro this have two objections
First, TO have such large number
Rogue River courier. (Grants Pass, Or.) 19??-1918, 1916-03-30

OF men aboard ship with only few
duties to perform would be highly
demoralizing and second. the men
should be put on active vessels so
their training would not not be re-
laxed. For these reasons the depart
ment adopted its policy OF having
only 40 percent OF the regular crew
on vessels when they are placed in
the navy yards.
When George Won L. Meyer was
secretary OF the navy he left only
33 per cent of the normal personnel
on ships. which we're inactive in the
navy yards"
Daniels cited facts and figures to
show how difficult 1t is to keep the
navy up TO its full enlisted strength.
Five out OF six applicants for enlist
ment, he said, were rejected. On the
average, 1885 enlistments expire
annually.
II have been a liberalist lately in
permitting the purchase of dis
