WHY NAVY SUFFERS

Not Too Much to Say That He Has

Able Naval Officers Have Ex-

The public has no doubt that Secre-

perfectly capable country editor and
an entirely deserving Democrat, but
ever since he took charge of the navy
department and tried to infiict some
of his foolish notions upon the fleet
he has been a joke. Nor is his IN
favorable repute entirely humorous
Authorities in such matters have not
hesitated to name him as unusually
inefficient, even for a civilian secre-
tary OF the navy. He has been
charged not only with failing to work
for the navy. but with working against
it. The long committee hearings
have elected from army officers no
