BUSINESS is BULLY!
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-03-27
By ASsoclated Prest

Washington, March 2e.-with ap- proximately 300 destroyers to be in commission by the end of the year. the navy department is working out plans for the peace-time handling of this force. The first suggestion made was to place 200 of the ships in reserve but it was learned today that movement was taking shape toward keeping the entire force in active commission, even if it would be necessary to put a larger of older batt1eships and cruisers in eserve to obtain the necessary per- sonnel.
 Officers who favor keeping the de- stToyers in full commission believe the training received aboard these vessels ty both officers and men would be more valuable than the same experience aboard the larger ships. They feel. also that the naval events of the great war point the way toward stressing the fu- ture development of the destroyer force. For these reasons the officers are opposing vigorously the proposal of retiring two-thirds of the force to the reserve.
 Those urging the reserve project, it was indicated, believe a conservation of personnel can be accomplished in this way without laying up an increased number of big ships. In reserve a de- stroyer would carry a crew of about 40 men instead of 100 and if 200 de- stroyers are laid up 1t would release 12,000 men.
 OPPOSITION TO ACTION
 Against such action it is argued that the 40 per cent crews are not sufficient

New Training Policy for Merchant Marine
 Apprentices Announced
By Associated Press

Washington. March 26.-A new pol icy of training apprentices for the merchant marine by assignment to ves- sells in deep sea service was announced today by the shipping board. Hereto fore training ships have been relied upon. The new policy will be inau- gurated with the sailing from New Or leans of the freighter Waalhaven for French port, carrying nine appren- tices who underwent preliminary in struction on the training ship at Nor folk. On the voyage to France and re- turn they will continue to be paid $50 a month and the expense of their sub- sistence will be met by the shipping board. When they return, the results of the experience of an actual trip car- rying American commerce to foreign ports will be studied and the course continued if the men have progressed more than if they remained on a ship remaining near port.
