AMERICAN NAVY SHORT ON GOES
 TO MAN VESSELS

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-B-Ac, cording to a statement made this evening by navy yard officials. there are at this time eleven American warships in the New York navy yard alone out of commission on account of a shortage of enlisted men to fill out the crews. The shortage may become more serious as the percent age of re-enlistments is small com. pared to the number being given dis. charges.
 All of the men who enlisted fol the emergency of the war must be mustered out of the service by the last day of this month. Thousands are being released every day and there are but few ships which are not shorthanded.
 Another difficulty is being en. countered in securing officers. Many officers are resigning and there is a strong possibility that the annual fall and winter maneuvers of the Atlantic fleet will have to be can celled on this account. The recruit ing offices are making every effort to replace the discharged men with volunteer recruits but are meeting with but poor success.

the same honest claim Is made for It
