DECLARE NAVY
RATES HoNoRs
Officers Say Chiefs Of Sea
Service Should Be
Recognized.

Army and navy officers alike are of
the opinion that the special honors
which so far have gone to the army
for service In the war should also be
given to the navy.
They think that it would be only
right for Admirals Benson. Sims and
Mayo to hold their present rank for
life. and that men who served under
them, either on shore duty abroad or
a, home, should receive proper recoG-
milton I'm the form of Distinguished
Service Medals.
1t is pointed out that Admiral Ben
son has served throughout the war as
Chief of STAFF of the navy, while in
the army there have been as Chiefs of
Stan Gems. Scott Bliss and March.
Admiral Mayo has been in charge Of
the helm. making the way easy for
the transport service, and Admiral
Sims has been hard at work ever since
he was sent to Europe without any
relief. Admiral Sims it is pointed out
performed not merely police duty so
far as submarines were concerned, but
was ready at all times TO take his
DTeadnoughts into action against the
German fleet in port or at sea. Ad.
miral Benson did practically the work
of the whole war so far as the navy
is concerned in the matter of admin
istration. day and night.
At home. through no fault of their
own. were Rear Admirals Taylor. chief
of the Bureau of Construction; Leigh
Palmer. in charge of personnel; Jo-
seph Mexican, of Benson's office; Vic
tor Blue. now chief of the Bureau or
Navigation, recently returned from
service abroad and many others.
In the opinion of officers of botil
branches of the service. the principle
of life honors for actual fighting serv-
ice and of distinguishing medals
should be the same for the navy and
the army. 1t is believed by these off,
GERS that n no motion is made from
within the navy to equalize the honors
OF the war Congress may take up th-
question. Secretary OF the Navy Dan
iels is to go before the House Commit
tee on Naval Affairs today. but it is
not known whether he has this matter
as one of his suggestions affecting the
future of the navy.

SAYS RETURNED YANKS
DEMAND HIGHER JOBS
Massachusetts, Employment Chief
Sees New Problem Ahead.

Boston, Dec. 29.-The tendency OF
returned soldiers seeking employ
ment here to demand higher posi-
tions than they held before the war

but that In numerous cases they
have refused to l.. accept Jobs in
trades In which they are skilled.
II. q. Dunderdale, superintendent
Of the State Employment Bureau

the returned soldiers and sailors
applying for work are aiming too
high" and are declining work pay
ing wages undreamed OF before the
