OF spies TO learn all about every mem
Der Of picked up efew and there ar.
stories OF signal lights being displayed
to .betray ships to the submarines and
bombs have been placed and fires set
on shipboard.
Some means had TO be devised to
give the government complete authority
over every man on ship bound for
the war zone, and the navy people and
the shipping board believe they have
found il. Ii will take about $4,000 men
to care for the traffic as h now stands,
but every ship launched by the emerg-
eney fleet corporation means hat more
men are needed. Il Is estimated that
there will be 100000 in the naval re-
serve crews by the end OF 1919 The
strength OF the naval reserve today Is
less than $4,000 men, all OF whom are
on duty with the armed forces.
The seamen who do not care 10 en-
list for transatlantic service will be
used in the coastlng trade and on msr-
chant voyages in parts OF the world
remote from the war.
The experts have determined that the
problem of avoiding submarines is
largely a matter OF efficient operation
OF the ships In order to insure the
highest possible efficiency the, shipping
board proposes establishing several
schools for seamen along the Atlantic
coast. In the intervals between voyages
the crews will be put through these
schools and given intensive training
Graduates Of these schools arc expected
to be able to bring a ship through the
bad water at such speed as 10 make
them practically sure Of escaping tn.
submarines.
The transports are run entirely with
navy crews and will continue that way
There are probably forty Of these, while
there are 100 cargo ships in operation.
This proportion will be maintained
among the ships building and to be
built.

tdsd command have already been
manifest.
utilize Naval Reserve.
The idea IS TO enlist the men and
oft.eers-in the naval reserve. They will
draw, the pay OF civilians. which is
double or triple that OF the navy peo-
pie in similar positions, but they will
be part of the official establishment,
and, as such subject TO penalties for
deSerton, disobedience Of orders and
neglect OF duty.
There is no idea Of iorcibly taking
ssamen It will be volunteer service,
and no difficulty is anticipated in fill
ing the requirement, for the men will
have the higher pay Of the merchant
marine and the additional advantages
Of the navy service, including insur
ance and the opportunity to acquire
commissions.
Legal Qusstion In Way.
The plan originated with the navy
and is being favorably considered BY
the shipping board, though there are
legal questions involved that must be
determined before Il is finally adopted
The navy found that the irresponsi-
bility of civilian Crews was importing
the safety OF supply ships. Crews went
ashore on the other side and celebrat-
ed their safe passage OF the danset
zone in proverbial seaman fashion
They had TO be rounded up for the re-
turn passage, and enough of then
were in such bad shape os to make II
impossibls to get the necessary steam
on the vessels across the submarine in
tested waters al immunity speed, Sail
ors and firemen quit their Jobs in ports,
exercising the civilian right to quit
when they pleased.
Altogether there have been enough
examples Of srresponsbility to cause a
lot of anxiety for every pound of
freight is needed to supply our soldiers
in France and every delay means a
hindranoe to the military program.
