PLEA FOR HIGHER PAY
FOR OFFICERS
IN u. S. NAVY
Can't Get The Right Kind OF Men
Unless Remuneration Is
Sufficient

Increases in the pay of officers and
enlisted men in the Navy, or at least
some entertainment allowances for Of
American Navy is to keep the sort of
men it has attracted in the past, in
the opinion of Rear Admiral William
S. Sims, a witness a day or two ago
before the House Naval Committee on
legislation in Congress proposing such
increases.
Admiral Sims gave the committee
a half dozen statements from officers
stationed at the Naval War College at
Newport, r. L., OF which he is now
president, showing in some cases that
living in style none too good, those
Officers each year are coming out just
IA few dollars behind or a few dollars
ahead of their Navy pay. He pointed
out that the British Navy gives much
higher pay to officers in the higher
ranks than does the American Navy.
and, in addition, provides large funds
for official and quasi-official enter
tanning, such as falls to the lot of an
officer Admiral Sims said it is es-
sential to the prestige of the Ameri-
can Navy that officers commanding
ships in foreign ports entertain where
they have been entertained, and that
except in unusual cases under present
conditions such entertainments are
paid for by the commanding officer of
ship. He opposed putting a general
fund in the hands of the Secretary of
the Navy to be disbursed for entertain
ing when he specifically approved
fat pay increase, but did not mention
the figure.
If you want to reduce the Navy
so that certain kind of men will be
attracted to it you can get that kind
of men," said Admiral Sims, but if
you want to keep up the standard we
established during the war and con-
tinue to have the respect of the world,
as we have had, you want to get the
right kind of men and you have got
to pay the money to get them. That's
all there is to it,"
"A naval officer has got to live on
a certain plane or get out" said Ad-
miral Sims. His own self-respect
would make him do that"
Chairman Butler, of the committee,
said he agreed with the Admiral in
many particulars.
You always do agree with me, but
you never do anything about it," re-
torted the admiral with a smile
He opposed a general fund in the
hands of the Secretary, he said, be-
cause it would not be practical, par
ticularly where ships are in foreign
service.

OVERINDULGENCE
CAUSES SUGAR SHORTAGE

Heavily increased use of sugar in

Injuries in the United States during
the first nine months of 1919, it was
announced in New York Friday by the
United States Sugar Equalization
Board, means that such over-indul
gence in sweets must now be cur
tailed in some sections of the east for
the next three months"
George A. Zabriskie; president of the
board, in a statement to the press, de-
clared that although the talk of
shortage" persists, it was a fact that
from last January to September, in
elusive, 100000 tons or Is per cent.
more sugar had been delivered to
American consumers than for the same
period of 1918. The normal increase
in consumption for the period named,
he said, would have been 4 per cent.
The West should secure Immediate
relief from the harvesting of an aver
age beet crop, said the statement,
which will be in full swing within a
week. The Louisiana supply of 100,
900 tons, available after November /,
while disappointing, will serve to sup
ply the South until the new West In
dian crop is ready next January. The
East is dependent, however, it was
said, on the old Cuban supply, and
conservation" therefore, would have
to be practcied for a time in this Sec
ton of the country. To meet the con-
dition in the East, Frank G.. Lowry, it
was announced, will supervise and di
rect the distribution of all sugar by
the Eastern refineries.
After October Is and until January
1, it was said. all territory west of
Pittsburgh and Buffalo and north of
the Ohio river will have to depend
upon the sugar beet producers. Deliv-
cries of sugar to the trade in the East,
it was said, during October, November
and December, would approximate
hose made in October, 1918. Con-
siderably more beet sugar will be mar
keted this year than last.
