RESERVE OFFICERS
SERIOUSLY NEEDED
Regulars Object But Shortage Of
Line Officers Is Acute

Washington, Dec. 1e.--In line with
the administrations policy to make
the American Navy equal in strength
to that OF any sea force in the world,
bills were submitted yesterday to the
naval affairs committee of the house
for allowing hundreds of temporary
reserve officers to be absorbed in the
regular line Of the navy, and main
tanning the perman ent strength Of the
navys enlisted personnel at $4,000,
the present limit. At the same tim e
letter was presented from Secretary
Daniels recommending that the in
creased pay scale instituted during
the war be made permanent.
The bills were handed to the COM
mittee by Captain Harris Lanning
acting chief of the bureau of naviga-
ton, who was on the witness stand all
day.
The measure which proposes to con-
tinue the enlisted strength at 217, 900
was not discussed, but will be taken
up today for explanation. However,
it developed to cite one instance, that
for $50 destroyers to be commissioned
before July 1, 1920, no fewer than
43,S20 enlisted men will be needed
more men than were af1oat in the
navy before this country's entry into
the war.
Under the bill to create the new
regular officers through the transposi-
ton of the reserve force. men who en-
tered the service for the war could
ask for discharges and then re-enter
the service with full credit, whereas
under present laws the reserve force
would automatically be returned to
civil life.
Chairman Padgett, of the commit
tee, objected to the bill, saying it
| would open the f1oodgates," and that
officers with Annapolis training would
outside.
Captain tanning replied that be-
cause of the entrance examinations
that could be required and of other
circumstances probably only about l.
500 OF the reserve officers would OBJ
tain permanent commissions. The
navy now had 2,552 regular officers,
and some 1900 to $4,000 officers
were desired in all. The Naval Acad
envy was unable to supply the force,
despite the fact that large classes had
been turned out ahead Of the set peri
Cd for gradua ton.
Representative Butler of Pennsyl-
vania asked how many reserve Off
GERS had been detailed for shore duty,
Captain Lanning said he would look
New Britain herald., 1918-12-19

of precedence as may be determined
by him.
Members Of the Naval Reserve
force. with their own consent, may be
employed in active duty until the eX
piration of their current enlistment.
The bill further provides that COM
missioned and warrant officers of the
Naval Reserve force who have served
on active duty satisfactorily during
the war with Germany shall be eligi-
ble for appointment as commissioned
and warrant officers in the regular
permanent navy, not above the rank
of lieutenant, under the same condi-
tons as prescribed for temporary Off
GERS, and the rank and precedence Of
officers Of the Naval Reserve force so
appointed shall be fixed i'll each case
by the secretary of the navy.

WANT TO SINK ALL
GERMAN WARSHIPS
Great britain TaVOrs This american
idea But Smaller Nations Do
Not Like 1t.

Paris Dec 19-The American del
ogates to the peace congress have re
solved to advocate the sinking of the
surrendered enemy Warsl1ips and re-
sist any proposition to distribute them
on the basis of naval losses
This announcement is made by
those in touch with The American
representatives, who, it is added feel
that such a position would result in
avoiding contention and materially
support President Wilson'S declara-
ton that the war was not based on
aggression or the acquisition of prop
erty.
England, through Sir Eric Geddes,
first lord OF the admiralty, had previ-
ously acquicsced in the American
plan to destroy the captured or sur
rendered warships, and, it is declared.
Will continue to support the United
States although it is expected that
some of the lesser naval powers will
demand that the prizes be distributed,

TELLS OF ESCAPE.
Aviator Relates How He Walked 100
Miles to Reach Holland.

New York, Dec. 19.-Lieut. John
Donaldson, a Cornell graduate in the
aviation service, who arrived yester-
day on the Celtic, told how he es-
capped from q German prison camp
and also related an instance of cruelty
to 81 fellow officer. Shot down behind
the enemy lines in September after he
had won the Distinguished Flying
cross for bringing down nine Ger
mans, the officer first tried to elude
his captors by stealing q German
plane, but was caught. Later, with
Lieut.. Oscar Mandell, he had gone SO
miles from the camp on the way to
freedom when he was bayonetted by
a German sentry. In his third attempt.
Donaldson tramped $50 miles in %
nights and escaped into Holland,
whence he sailed for England.
Another American. Lieut.. Ander-
son, who broke out of prison camp,
was overtaken and forced to walk
back, a distance of so miles, though
wounded, Donaldson declared.

Captain LanninG went on to say it
