Only 800 in Naval Reserve,
Rear Admiral Blue Tells
Committee of the House

How only 303 men have been brought
into the naval reserve by laws de-
signed to foster such force was told
by Rear Admiral Victor Blue. Score
tary Daniels. he said, has proposed
amendments which 1t was hoped would
build up the force.
Representative Britten republican,
said he understood the French navy
with which the American was now
| thought to be about on par otherwise,
had $4,000 reservists. with an active
force of $4,000.
While the naval reserve law had
been disappointing in producing num-
bers. Admiral Blue said it had brought
a greater percentage of re-enlistments,
giving the navy large proportion Of
trained men on its ships. Men should
be permitted, he thought. to give from
sixteen to twenty years to navy service
| II they could be induced to do SO.
Weakness Of o. S. Navy.
Admiral Blue conceded that Japan.
Germany and France all had more of
hcers and men in active service than
the United States and added that the
great weakness of the American navy
was want of a proper reserve.
Mr.. Britten asked IL the navy had OF
failed to conduct war mobilization
recently because Of lack of men to ham
die all the ships. Admiral Blue replied
that no navy was kept filled to its war
footing.
How much time would we be likely
to have to mobilize If we were to be
attacked" asked Mr.. Britten
That would be an important thing
to know" said the admiral.
do you know asked Mr.. Britten. "if
anybody has successfully contradicted
