The navy department has released
from Office and shore duty the regu-

has assigned them to active duty with

be taken by women wherever possible.
Rear Admiral MCGOWAN. paymaster
general Of the navy. issued the order In
connection with this change in policy.
every man released from shore duty,
whatever his rank or rating. adds Just
one more to the fighting force" says
this order every man Of every rank
and rating desires, Of course, to get to
the firing line as soon as his services
ashore can be spared.
"No man In the navy Is willing In war
time to do anything that woman can
do as well; whereas no officer can be
expected to be content In any part Of
the shore establishment unless engaged
upon supervisory work SO important In
Its nature that 1t cannot properly be
delegated to any person Of lesser rat
Ing.
Wherefore It Is requested and di.
rected that the officer in charge OF
each division Of the bureau Of supplies
and accounts make careful and criti-
cal survey Of his personnel, both COM
missloned and enlisted, to the end that
the paymaster general may know how
many and which men can be spared
without seriously interfering with the
work. These reports will include not
alone reservists but regulars as well.
and II is to be distinctly understood In
this connection that applications from
individuals for sea or overseas service
will not be necessary--the one ana
only object being to carry on the work
here and at the same time release the
maximum number Of men for duty at

Metropolitan Museum of Art, New
York, the war department announces.
The best Of the types used by the sol
dlers of former days Is being wrought
into shapes for present warfare. some
pieces on ancient anvlls and by ham
mers that were actually used centuries
ago.
In direct charge of the workshop
where the work Is being done Is
French artisan whose skill has been
known TO armor collectors the world
over, and whose forbears for genera
tons back have kept alive the dying
trade of the armorer.
This war in Europe has brought
back into use many discarded weapons
and practices of medieval warfare.
There has been the adoption OF steel
helmets by all the warning powers,
breastplates, armored waistcoats and
trench shields. This necessltnted an
overhauling and new study of ancient
armor. with the result that experts de-
clare that scarcely technical idea has
been brought forward which was not
worked out ip elaborate detail by the
old-time armOr makers.
The Metropolitan museum collection
is among the seven great collections OF
ancient armor. II Is an Incident to TINS
collection that there was established
Mt the museum an armorer's workshop.
So far as known 1t is unique. In II
we're cleaned, repaired and restored
pieces that were defective. Daniel
Tachaux, French artist, was In
charge. He Is working now under the
direction OF Major Bashford Dean OF
the ordnance department.
Armor models are being turned out
there In accordance with the sugges-
lions of General Pershlng and the ord
nance department. Twenty-Five dlf'
ferent types of armor defenses have
been made In various factories In ex'
detrimental lots, several in many thou
sands OF pieces, which have won IA
yor at army headquarters. The efii-
cacy OF armor protection for the sol.
diers is indicated by reports that more
than 40 per cent of the hospital cas-
ualties suffered were leg wounds and
about 33 per cent arm wounds, the legs
and arms of the fighters being free
from armor cover.
