partment, is not taken as new prece-
dent he is destined to follow to the
end of the war. But as an indication
that during the war he is not disposed
to have a policy of general displace-
ments So far al Surgeon General
Braistcd and General Barnett are con
ccrned, il is felt III the service that
there are no reasons why they should
be succeeded by others at the end of
their terms Unless they ask for other
assignments. it IS expected that they
will be redetailed.
Recommendation from within the
navy department that permanent in
thorized have failed to find favor with
the secretary. He persists in cnter-
tanning the conviction, according 10
those close to him, that conditions al
the end Of the war will be such that
the strength of the navy, both in ships
in commiss ion and men, may be reduced
perhaps to the figures that existed q
year ago, and that for this reason there
will be no need for a greater number of
men than then authorized Naturally
this view is not shared by naval officers
For one thing, the authorized personnel
in 1916 was scarcely sufficient to man
the ships in commission on peace
basis. Unless the personnel is increased
irrespective Of the demands of war,
new vessels could not be placed in com
mission without taking crews from old
e, ships.
The chief of the bureau of naviga-
ton has recommended on several occa-
Slons that the permanent enlisted
strength be increased from 81 goo men
and 5000 apprentice seamen to l29.o 900
men, plus 10000 apprentice saamen;
1000 men under training in trade
schools and 1000 for aviation. or a
total Of 10000, which is the present
authorized combined permanent AMI
temporary strength. He believes that
for the period Of the war the enlisted
strength authorized should be $4,000
men, plus $4,000 apprentice seamen, If i
600 under training in trade schools aud
10000 men for aviation. or a total of
DDS, 0oo. In view Of the attitude Of
Secretary Daniels, the present draft Of
