HACK 0F MEN IS
 CRIPPLING NAVY Three Cannot Operate for Want
 Of Crews

Washington, March 4-Only fif-
 the Atlantic fleet are on active duty
 in West Indian waters. three of the
 other six being so crippled for lack
 of officers and men that they can-
 not operate With the fleet, and the
 other three either awaiting or ul-
 dergoing extensive repairs.
 The fifteen active ships are short
 from eight to seventeen officers each of the number assigned to them by the Navy Department, and lack 1000 coal passers, electricians, gunners'
 mates and other trained enlisted men, although they have aboard about 100 more men than the total personnel permitted by regulation. This was the situation of the fleet as pictured by Admiral Fletcher, commander er-in-c chief before the house naval committee. He added that in his opinion and that of various boards of officers who had studied the subject of battleship squadrons of the active fleet required at least B., 900 additional men over the conn., plements now assigned.
 Fleet Ready to Fight. The shortage in the various ra- tings, he explained, however, would not materially injure the efficiency of the fleet were it called upon im- mediately to engage an enemy. The lack of officers was the most serious aspect, said the admiral, be- cause it requires ten years to train a competent lieutenant or lieutenant commander. Nothing that congress,
 much less the navy department, can l do, he said, can remedy the situation ] at once.
 l Many suggestions as to how the i training of young officers might be i hastened had been advanced, he 1 added but in his opinion the only i effective and logical way would be i to increase the Annapolis cadet corps 1 to 2,0O0 men and await their de- l velopment.
 i Admiral Fletcher devoted his en- ; tire day before the committee to the 1 subject of personnel, under question: 1 ing by Representatives Roberts, Brit i ten, Kelley and Farr. The conflict ; ing figures as to ships complements , presented by the Bureau of Naviga- ] ton. the General Board and Admiral : Fletcher himself were discussed fully.
 Admiral Offers Remedy. 1 Admiral F1letcher suggested that
 in addition to Nhe regular promotions 1 two rear admirals be created each . year for six years. six captains a year for five years, fifteen command 1 CTS a year for five years, and that 1 all lieutenants should become lieu 1 tenant commanders after eight years l service in the lower grade. 1 About fifty lieutenants would be 1 eligible immediately, he said, under { this plan.

The thoughts of local voters are turned toward the coming conventions and elections. Many are scheduled between now and November. The choosing of 9, representative of the town in the next legislature occupies 2 prominent stage at present. Dur

Stanley Godezyke of Christian Lane was taken to the New Britain General hospital last night to undergo an operation for appendicitis. Dr. John Purney of New Britain is attending the case. The case is very unfor- tunate, the youth being only fifteen years old and the main support of a family of eight children. His father died about a year ago and since that time Mrs. Godezyke has helped to support the family. Stanley has been working and another child, a girl, aged thirteen years, has been em- ployed as a nurse girl. The attack comes at a particularly unfortunate time as things were just beginning to go along smoothly for the family.
