HE is THE ONLY FIT
OFFICER IN SERVICE
by AssoCIATED prrss

Washington, Feb. 25.-The United
States navy's whole system of gov
eminent and operation from the edu-
cation of officers to ship and gun con-
struction, was criticised before the
house naval committee today by Adj
miral Winslow, commander of the Pa
cific fleet. Without radical changes,
he said, a fighting force comparable
with the British navy viii not be pro-
duced in fifty years.
Applying yesterdays statement
that navy general staff composed of
line officers was a vital necessity,
Winslow said the system at Annapo-
lis should be abandoned for one al
lowing boys to enter service from
fourteen to sixteen, spend two years
schooling ashore and then go to sea
to get the sea habit before completing
their education. He asserted there is
no value In making all navy. officers
experts in higher mathematics. This
should be confined, he thought, to en-
gineers and ordnance experts, who
should never be required to command
ships. He urged system of selection
at the academy and promotions by fit
ness in the navy.
To the question as to whether he
thought himself possessed of higher
degree of efficiency, Winslow replied
that he probably had greater expert
ence with ships and ship combinations
than any other navy officer. He doubt
ed whether the design of American
ships equalled the ships abroad.

Worcester, Mass, Feb. 25.-While
rumors of war are abroad members
of the Commercial street fire head
quarters have the honor of capturing
the first dirigible in the United States
navy. The big aircraft, which be-
longs to the navy department is be-
ing conveyed overland in huge five
ton auto truck to Pensacola, Fla.
The crew got into Worcester about
1880 o'clock last night and attempted
to find a garage that would house
the seaplane for the night and after
visits to all the garages it was found
that none of them had doors large
enough to permit entrance and appeal
was made to Chief Wesley Navery of
the fire department, who allowed it
to be placed at headquarters.
The big machine finds little extra
room on the truck and second truck
accompanies it to carry parts. It is
of the seaplane type. The body is
built similar to a round bottomed boat
and is painted battleship gray.
