built by the navy and now under test may solve the problems encountered.
 The report shows that the navy now has seventeen aeroplanes in active service and that 60 more have been ordered. In addition several French and British made machines have been ordered.
 In it's brief review of the European war, the general board finds nothing to warrant modification of it's previous belief that the battleship is the backbone of the sea power of a nation.' .' For this reason, the report adds, the board has determined that the. number, power and size of the guns to be placed aboard new bat tleships should be increased without sacrificing armor speed or cruising radius Larger ships must be built to contain all these chara cteristics, the report continues, and for the 1918 ships the board has recommended the most powerful battery which it be- lieves can be constructed, having due regard, to the present state of the art of building heavy ordnance in this cOuntry.'
 It is shown that the batteries de- SloCu ui'oll u I1ASSI I1lCSS ISHol1 C- ments will be twelve 16-inch, 50 cali Der guns for each ship. A test gun is now being built.
 Discussing enlistments in the navy, Secretary Daniels shows that congress has authorized an immediate increase of 26,O0O men, only 2,524 of whom have been obtained.
 Here again lie new and serious problems" he says More than ordi- nary methods must be used to per- suaue young men to decline countless opportunities opening before them In comm ercial life in favor of service with the government
 Were it not for the gratifying re- suits in enlistments already shown, as years of offering educational advan- tages, particularly along technical lines to our recruits, I would feel indeed tnas the problem of securing the mon authorized for our fleets was an almost hopeless one. AS it Is. I feel aure it will be solved, but it is still a problem and what I desire in this report is to warn the public against considering that the mere pas sage of laws authorizing additional men is eot,iyalent to having these me, actually on board our ships.''
