Big Increase
InU. S. Navy

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-Secre-
tary Daniels, in appearing today be-
fore the house naval committee to
explain the navy's needs as regards
personnel until q permanent stablish-
ment can be determined in the light
Of the action Of the peace conference,
urged that hereafter naval officers
be promoted on merit.
The secretary recommended an
amendment that would withdraw all
applications of seniority in making
promotions and also suggested that
officers in each grade be permitted to
select men for promotion to success
sive grades instead Of continuing the
present system Of having all selec-
tions made by single board.
Increased pay for men of the navy
also was recommended by Hr. DAN
fiels, who asked the committee to
write into the new naval bill a pro-
vision making permanent the war
time pay increases Of from $6 to SIS
for enlisted men. This would make
the pay range from $36 to $5f a
month. The secretary also asked that
one months pay be given naval men
when they are discharged.
In explaining to the committee
that the department would not now
ask for any increase in the perma-
nent enlisted strength Of the navy,
Secretary Daniels said temporary in
creases should be authorized to in
clude 10000 temporary regulars and
$4,000 Of the reserves for operating
transports, as a total Of $50, 900 men
would be needed for naval ships and
transports.
To give the 1000 additional off
GERS necessary for the permanent es-
tablishment by July, 1920, Mr.. Dan
iels said it was proposed to transfer
/ 900 reserve officers to the regular
establishment to rank as ensigns and
lieutenants. These with 460 ensigns
from the naval academy next June
and 600 in June, 1920, would make
up the needed number.
Fourteen battleships and ten crui-
sers have been converted into trans
ports to return soldiers rom overseas.
Twenty thousand men, the secretary
said, would be brought back monthly
by these vessels. While these yes
sells are rot as comfortable as trans
ports, the secretary said their utiliza-
ion kept many soldiers from waiting
six weeks for other shipping facili-
les. The cost for the navy in re-
turning these men Is s25 q man as
with sS5 for their return
N other ships, the secretary said.

Travelling Public, Shake Hands With Mr. Hines

road enterprise and fair treatment for the
owners of railroad property and for those
with whom the railroads have business deal
ings."
After this Mr.. Illness announcement
that he will ask Congress for an addi-
tional $500,000000 for railroad opera
ton, although it excited much comment.
hardly came as much of a SURPRISE
In simultaneous statement to rail
road officers and employees, the new Di-
rector General pleads for trust and pa
tience while he sets about his new duties.
"The responsibilities of the work cannot
be exaggerated and there can be no sue
cess in it without your confidence and sup
port he says to his co-workers and sub
ordinates. Il shall gain and justify your
confidence by prompt and fair treatment
but until you get a chance to know me and
Judge me by my works | want you to take
me on faith and from the very first dav
help me to give the government the best
possible service and The people the best pos
sible transportation"
With all these reiterated assurances
that the railroad administration pur-
poses to do business at the old stand in
the old way, the press of the country re-
fuses to become unduly excited over the
substitution of the name Hines for the
name McAdoo. AS "The Charlotte OBJ
server" puts it:
THE President came as near as possible
to making no change in headship of railroad
administration
"The Philadelphia Public Ledger re-
fers to the new Director General as "an
experienced railroad eXecutive,' but
many other papers take occasion to
point out that, although formerly chair
man of the executive committee of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail
road and long associated with the Louis
vile & Nashville road, Mr.. Illness ac-
tlvltles have always heretofore been con-
fined to the legal side of the business.
The Philadelphia Press" however, feels
that he should be able to make better
job of the directorate than Mr.. McAdoo
did
THE new Director General faces stu
pendous task, but he viii be free to give it
his entire attention, not being handicapped
by holding other Federal Offices at one
time"
Fiscally too, THE Press" looks for
better things:
"With increasing rates and fares offset
