RETURN TO OLD JOB
c. M. Schwat Will Manage Bethlehem
Steel Company

Charles M. Schwab, whose resigna-
ton as director general of the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation was accepted
by President Wilson on Saturday in
a wireless message, will return imme-
diately to active participation in the
management of the Bethlehem Steel
Company, where 100000 men are en-
ployed.
"The emergency for which | en-
tered the government service has
passed" Mr.. Schwab said. "The
Emergency Fleet Corporation has
been placed on basis for economic
construction rather than war time
construction. My own affairs are of
such magnitude that I feel I will be
of greater service to the country
there during the period of reeonstruc-
ton than could as director of the
fleet corporation.

THE GROWTH OF
AMERICAN NAVY
Its Personal Increase from $4,000 tc
100000

5OU,UUU
Washington, Dec. 9-War time in
crease of the naval personnel from
$4,000 to nearly 100000 to man 1900
vessels instead of 176, is described in
the annual report of Rear Admiral
Leigh c. Palmer, chief of the bureau
of navigation, made public today
Every one OF the ships in commission,
from battleships to cargo carriers,
Admiral Palmer says, has complete
compliments of officers and men with
excess personnel to provide for train
ing new drafts. The navy also pro-
vided armed guard and radio crews
for merchant vessels in transatlantic
service.
The great task now, in the opinion
of Admiral Palmer who recently was
relieved from the bureau to take COM
mand of a battleship, will be in fur
nishing 100000 officers and men for
the Shipping Boards merchant feet
estimated to comprise 1924 vessels by
December 1919. To accomplish this
l1c pCII1iiiISut t1diuluS ldCllIGISo ItlNC
been expanded so as to accommodate
10000 men at once. These include
the Great Lakes station with capa
city OF $4,000, Newport and Hamp
ton Roads $4,000 each, and Pelham
Bay, N. Y, $4,000. Hundreds of
ships are used as floating schools,
each being assigned a certain num-
Der of men to be taught the rudi-
ments of seamanship, and IA institu-
tions are conducting regular courses
in the training of officers.
Notwithstanding the numerous ex-
pansion of the personnel" the report
says, "the various units of the navy
have reached a higher state of battle
efficiency than ever before"
Enlistment statistics show that
every state in the union contributed
to the growth of the navy, such states
as Montana and Nevada each send
ing more than 1900 men. There
were 2,203 desertions during the year,
but the percentage of desertions drop
ped from LAB to .93.s.,>, zss@z go:
Admiral Palmer reports that roagfa@
w. $4,000 of the 1000 men in the
navy are native born, and 15,00O are
naturalized citizens. New York alone
furnished SO per cent of the native
born.
