OVER NIGHT IS
ALL REQUIRED
To MAN SHIPS

Republican A. P. Leased WIreI
WASHINGTON, March Il. -
Naval preparations for war were
marked by increased activity to-
day. No actual war steps were
taken but there were many indl-
cations that preliminary plans have
been worked out for rapid re mo-
biIization for both the army and
navy If the call comes.
The naVy's task is simple. Its
problems are those of material
rather than personnel. At most,
little more than 100000 men would
be required for manning every
available ship or scouting craft.
They could be obtained almost over
night by mobilization of the naval
militia, and the various sections of
the naval reserves supplemented
with volunteers. Only highly
trained officers would be lacking,
The arny's problem is just the
reverse. It is men that will be
needed and no definite step toward
securing a great force can be taken
until congress acts. Full equip
ment can be obtained long before
the men are ready.
Steps actually taken by the navy
today included the advancement OF
the date of opening bids for addi-
tonai destroyers and notification
to shipbuilders that their full plant
capacity would be utilized in this
work. There is no way of estinat-
ing how many destroyers will be
ordered until estimates called for
show how many can be built.
Builders will present their figures
next Saturday and awards will be
made Immediately.
Bids for the first large consion-
ment of 110 foot submarine chasers
or coast patrol boats also were re-
ceived today, but will be held con-
fidentiaI until Wednesday when 100
additional builders are expected to
submit figures. The navy hopes
TO find facilities available for more
than 200 boats, the first of them to
be delivered in two or three months.
Meanwhile the work of surveying
private yachts and motor craft is
being pressed and the enrolment
of volunteers to man them. pro-
ceeds rapidly.

tcnticr of taking over merchant era

war not knowing what it most wants
and needs, and should fail to roll the
burden of militarism off its shoulders
and to establish lasting peace, it would
be a tragedy in the history of the

During the present crisis and
throughout the war which is at hand,
the duty of the League to Enforce

other to spread its gospel of world

In view of the nomination by Pres ident Wilson of his physician and friend, pr. Cary T. Grayson,. who IS a naval officer, to be medical director of the navy, "jumping'' him over the heads of many senior officers, it is pointed out by defenders of the presi- dents action that pr. Grayson was not nominated by the president to be a rear admiral in the navy, but to be a medical director with the rank of rear admiral. He would not take precedence aboard ship over cap- tain, commander or any other officer of the. line, not excluding an ensign. His rank of rear admiral is merely relative and does not carry with it the right to perform military duties or to assume command over vessel or force of men if no officer senior to him is present. At the same time the rank of rear admiral in the medical corps carries with it many advantages, including immunity from sea duty for all time and the promotion of Dr. Grayson is being criticised particular ly because he was advanced over so many older medical officers of long experience in naval sufgery A long fight on Dr. Grayson.s confirmation by the senate was predicted and expect ed
