Referring to the navy, the statement
says:
'rrhe navy as it exists today is made
up of ships in full commission and of

former we have 224, Of ships not in full

full commission are those which are
fully officered and manned, and are
either under orders or liable to orders
for service without previous notice.
The ships not in full commission are
those maintained at navy yard and
kept ready for use on short notice.
They have reduced compliments of
officers and men. Under this head are
included ships lin commission and in
ordinary which have compliments of
officers and men sufficient to enable
them to be properly cared for.
AT the outbreak of war there would
be an immediate call for putting all ex-
isting ships in full commission, and the
