WHILE Senate committees and sub
committees, private committees
to the President (the Marshall COM
mittee and perhaps Borglum), $the
Hughes Investigation and r-blic re-
ports have been very busy with air
craft production for the Army. next
to nothing has been heard about
what aircraft production of the Navy
is doing. There has been a reason
for this silence, although it has been
observed that there has been no ad-
verse criticism Of what the Navy has
been producing.
The Navy early adopted the rule of
making no prophecies about what it
expected to accomplish, and not a
its lowest midshipman to the Score
tary of the Navy until the "Navy" is
ready to speak. 1t has not spoken
loudly. but here are some facts: The
Secretary recently expressed his sat-
tsfaction with the progress which Is
ane esns made sna his E Sa
the Navy is not getting as many
planes as 1t wants. but is securing
large number, and he emphasized his
satisfaction with the liberty motor
for the purposes Of the Navy, which
will adb use as Is many h , as &c can
must be remembered that the types
Of airplane adapted to the service Of
the Navy are quite different from
those required for the Army. The
Navy employees for the most part
machines that are of the bombing
type. capable Of making sustained
flights over the sea and of carrying
heavy burdens Of bombs and other
forms of bursting charges to drop
upon the guns, ships or docks Of their
enemies. The Secretary intimated
that aircraft production had always
considered the needs Of the Navy In
the matter Of motors a. well as ma
chimes.
Capt. Noble e. Irwin, U. s. NJ, who
has charge Of aviation in the Navy,
has conducted the development Of
Navy airplanes and hydroplanes
quietly and no breath Of scandal has
been turned against his course or the
results obtained by his division. 1t
Is against his wish to discuss what
he has done, but 1t Is no violation Of
faith to say that production Of planes
for the Navy is In far better condi-
ton than most persons suppose pos
sible. and that there is 40 shortage
OF first-rate aviation personnel in the
Navy.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1918-09-08

NAVY general order 41S, abolishing
officer rank, has brought up in the
Navy an old subject at what may
prove to be an unfortunate time. 1t
unquestionably has aroused strong
feeling on the part Of line officers and
has given apparently small satisfac-
ton to the staff officers. with the pos
sible exception of the one from whom
the agitation for the change ema-
mated. The practice hitherto in the
United States Maryland still in
vogue in all other navies-has been
for pay and rating purposes to give
rank to staff officers who for the
most part come from civil life: but
naval titles from midshipmen to adj
miral only to officers of the line, who
usually, although not necessarily, are
Annapolis men. Thus the admiral
who commands the Atlantic fleet has
the title of admiral, while the adj
miral who was at the head of bu-
reau took his title from the profession
that his bureau represented. For ex-
ample, the heads of the bureaus of
medicine and of supplies and ac-
counts were admirals who took their
titles from their professions and were
known respectively as the surgeon
general and the paymaster general of
the Navy, although the latter, in his
native modesty, had issued section
order that he should be addressed as
The claim Of the line officers all
ways has been that their titles
lieutenant, captain and the like--were
distinctive of their profession as
naval officers trained to conduct naval
warfare, while medical officers. civil
engineers and the like were not pro-
fessional sea fighters, but professional
doctors, paymasters, engineers, ETC.,
not trained to warfare, but in their
particular professional schools. Their
branches. but one of pride in their
own calling and of apprehension lest
giving their titles to those not so
trained will hurt their professional
prestige. The attitude Of the staff
with the line ofiicers, a part Of the
Navy, and that closer union and bet
ter value of their service will follow
II they have flghting titles instead Of
the more pacific names Of doctor. en-
ginecr or paymaster.
While the whole matter to the civil
ian seems to be one Of nomenclature
and Of little significance. it is not so
regarded in the Navy. The civilian
sees that addressing q paymaster as
captain does not qualify him to COM
that title he is separated to that ex-
tent from his own profession. Naval
officers. however. regard the matter
more seriously. 1t being regarded on
one side as recognition of the staff
officer in the Navy and on the other
as something directed against the
profession that they represent.
