COminOner and Colonel
Following.
TO TALK ON DEFENCE

WAsHrNGToN. Jan. io.--The statement
was made at the Capitol to-day that
william J. Bryan probably Will tail
President Wilson on his itinerary
through the middle Western states in
an effort to counteract the influence OF
the Presidents speeches for prepared
ness. As soon as It became known to
the opponents in Congress OF the pre-
paredncsa programme that President
Wilson would make u speaking tour
communication was opened with Mr..
Bryan at Miami, Fla. He was urged 10
follow the President and speak at every
point where Mr. Wilson may deliver an
address. Representative Isaac Sherwood
Of Toledo and Representative Warren
Worth Bailey Of Pennsylvania were the
active members In the plan Both Of
! them expressed confidence this afternoon
that Mr.. Bryan will reply to the Presi-
dent and may duplicate his itinerary.
The interest aroused hv this state
ment started report that Theodore
Roosevelt would be urged by the friends
Of preparedness to follow Mr.. Bryan.
No one was in position to hold out assur-
ances that the Colonel would be willing
to enter the arena OF debate. but his
appearance on tho hustings under such
cund tons probably would furnish real
sensation and contribute something To
I the uncertainties of national politics.
Two Weeks Trip ahead.
President Wilson to-day supc- vised
the preparation OF the itinerary for his
tour. The itinerary al now planned pro-
vidcs for a trip lasting from ten days

Admiral Fletcher says further:

he called. In no other way can the
units OF the feet he kept in a thoroughly
efficient state. am Of tRe opinion
that such ships as are manned in the
active fleet should be kept in efficient
battle condition at all times. A reduce
ton of compliments In order to permit
additional vessels to be in commission I
consider unwise from every point Of
view. Vessels in commission should
either be on reserve basis or on a
full battle complement. There is no
efficient compromise between these two
standards
There are at present attached to the
f1eet eleven destroyers with one-half
compliments, n makcshift brought about
by the shortage of personnel. A. re-
suit of this shortage he training of these
dcs'royers is not complete and the limit
ing conditions brought about by the re-
strcted activities of one-ha'f compe-
ments lead to false conclusions and re-
! quirements
II therefore recommend that all ac-
tive ships assigned TO the Atlantic fleet
be fully manned at all times And that
additional officers and men when they

shortages now existing in the feet.
