ARMY WILL TURN
OVER 1000 SHIPS
TODANIELS' CARE

Following the announcement that
the War Department would turn over
TO the navy. through the Naval OveT-
seas transportation Service. 2.OOO.O0O
tons OF shipping, It became known to-
dsy that the total tonnage to ba turn
ed over by the army by July 1 Will
be 100000 OF 1000 ships.
The problem which now confronts
the navy Is the manning Of these
vessels with American crews. Ap-
proximstely 100000 men will have to
be recruited for the naval reserve.
and. according 10 the plans Of the
Bureau OF Navigation. which has
charge Of this work, the necessary
number OF men will not only be sign
ed up. but will be thoroughly trained
and ready TO go aboard ship as soon
as the vessels are commissioned.
It is said by officials OF the navy
that there is still lack OF co-Ordina-
tion between the Navy Department
and the shipping Board to the extent
that the latter does not turn over to
the navy the vessels directly, and the
Navy Department therefore, Is un-
able TO plan its reserve forces in ad-
vance.
These officials declare that II the
Shipping Board would inform them
in advance that a certain number OF
ships would be turned over to them
on a certain date, they could then re-
cruit the crews and have the men and
officers in training. and when the
ships were commissioned there would
not only ca crew in numbers. but
one thoroughly trained as well. ready
TO take the vessel 10 sea.
The Navy department has not
sought control of all American ship
ping. according to officials. but has
informed the Shipping Board and
War Department as to what IL could
do toward manning the vessels now
in course OF construction and at the
same time has pointed out that the
great success in putting ships safely
through the danger zone has not been
entirely due to the conveying meth
DDS, but was equally due to the ma
neuvering of the cargo-carrying and
troop ships.
