Navy Purchasing Plan
Championed by MCGOWAN

How the navy purchasing system
has justified itself by eliminating all
proflteering in war contracts Is the
principal feature of the annual re-
port of Paymaster General Samuel
MCGOWAN. The report shows the
competitive bidding system has proved
flexible and that the navy is obtain
ing supplies as rapidly as it neeos
them. at the same time being guar
anteed regarding their quality. Ad-
miral MCGOWAN argues strongly
against any change from the present
purchasing system. such as that pro-
posed of putting navy contracts as
well as army under the General War
Purchasing Board.
1t costs 1900 a day to feed the
sailors, according to the report. The
ration per capita is 43 cents this year,
against 81 last

UNABLE TO USE
LIFE BOATS ON
JACOB JONES
Nearly Two-thirds Of Crew
Lost Lives on Fhis
Account.

The American destroyer Jacob
Jones Ilost nearly two-thirds OF her
crew because Of difficulty In launch
ing the life boats. The ship, fatally
struck by a German torpedo, was
shattered by her own ammunition.
Her whole stern was blown on and
she sank in 9 minutes.
Her survivors spent II hours in
1<naII boats and on life RATS before
Being picked up by British steamer. {.
Ut was impossible to signal for help
because the explosion of the torpedo,
which set OF other torpedoes aboard
the Jones wrecked the radio.
These details Of the death-f1lled 3
minutes aboard the sinking warship
were contained in the statement OF
Lieut. ]. K. Richards, one OF her sur
vivors, cabled to the Navy Depart
ment yesterday by Vice Admiral
Sims. Lieut.. Richards story ended
whatever hope remained in naval cir
cles that more survivors Of the Jones
would be picked up.
According to Lieut. Richards ac-
count, a torpedo was sighted by the
lookout Just after the Jones, of the
usual steamship lanes, had conclud-
ed target practice and was returning
to port Lieut. Comdr. Bagley or
dered the rudder hard right and the
engines full speed ahead, but the
torpedo struck on the starboard side.
abreast torpedo tube No. 5. This
tube, with the torpedoes in 1t, was
blown 200 feet in the air. The radio
was wrecked and the mainmast
brought down.
Guns were manned. but no sub
marine was sighted and as the ship
was sinking rapidly the commander
ordered his men to abandon ship.
Fhaleboats which were put overheard
-capsized and the motor sailor could
not be launched. A wherry and mo-
ftor dory were put over safely, to-
gether with three life RATS. All the
survivors were on these.
Meanwhile the first explosions act
ed to detonate depth charges on
board and these blew of the whole
stern Of the ship. a thorough search
was made for survivors, but none
could be found aside from those in
the few boats which pulled away
safely.
