Short OF Trained Personnel in
War-Says Navy Dept lgnor-
ed Recommendations.

The United States navy operated
throughout the war with an made
quately trained personnel because OF
the failure Of the Navy Department 10
act upon recommendations made
prior TO the war, by the general board,
the commander of the Atlantic Meet
and other authorities. Capt. j. Taus-
sig today declared before the Senate
subcommittee investigating the con-
duct of the navy during the war,
Recommendations had been made
long before the war for large re-
serve to be trained and held for an
emergency. Captain Taussig said but
the Navy Department failed to act on
these recomme ndations, with the re-
suit that there were no trained forces
10 draw upon when war was declared
and il was necessary to man SHIPS
with improperly, trained forces.
THE personnel OF the navy was en-
tirely Inadequate for peace purposes
when the world war started in 1914,
Taussig said.
''"This was brought to the attention
OF the department by the general
board of the navy. the commandment
chief OF the Atlantic fleet, by the Of
ncers of the enlisted personnel di-
Vision. and the Bureau OF Naviga-
tion," Taussig said.
Efficiency Affected.
The efficiency of the entire navy
was adversely affected by the great
shortage of personnel.
: The Department not only ignored
these recomme ndations. but took
steps to prevent the reports as to the
personne, conditions
from being made public, and the
Secretary of the Navy, in his annual
report to the President in the fall OF
1914. stated that the numerical
strength OF the enlisted personnel
was adequate, and in his report OF
1915 that only an additional 10000
men were needed, while the general
board, in it's 1914 report, had stated
that $4,000 men were Immediately
needed.
when this country entered the
war in 1917 the ships of the fleet
were not as efficient as they should
have been, and for large NUMBER
of ships there was no trained per-
sonnet at all.
The policy of the department in
regard to personnel was one OF I'M
preparedness rather than of prepar-
edness Such steps as were then
taken were too late.
Hurt Destroyers' Strength.
AS result of this department
policy of unpreparedness. the larger
part of the ships of the navy oper-
ated throughout the war with made
auately trained personnel, and in con-
sequence they were not as efhcient
rs they should have been.
1.-THE efficiency of the destroyers in
the war zone was decreased by the
necessity. caused by the unframed
personnel. of sending many of their
most efficient men to the United
States to form nucleus crews Tor
new destroyers," Taussig said.

the navy at the conclusion of the
var.

LATEST DISEASE
Doctors Call It "Neuronitis." y
Arms and Legs Get Numb.
Not Always Fatal.

NEW YORK, March eff your
fingers and toes Jingle on Sunday.
and you find on Monday that your
arms are too weak to pull up the
dumbwaiter. or that your legs won't
support you in the subway, don't
ascribe your condition to the party
OF the night before. but go home, get
into bed and prepare for neuronitis.
the latest thing In nervous disorders.
DR.. Foster Kennedy, noted alienist
and consulting expert on psychopathic
disorders at Bellevue Hospital, de-
scribed the first symptoms of the new
disease in his paper on "lnfective
Neuronitis." which he read at the
final session OF the section on Neu-
rology and psychiatry. at the 1l4th
annual convention OF tho Medical So
ciety of the State of New York at
the Waldorf-Astoria.
Neuronitis is "A new term, coined
to describe a peculiar nervous dis
order encountered by DIR. kennedy
and others among the soldiers in
France. and, in few instances, In
this country. 1t appears that the
disease usually follows some severe
shock to the nervous system such
as an accident or a serious disease,
like pneumonia. The victim may
have several weeks of seemingly sat-
isfaetory convalescence and then no.
tice a tingling in his toes and fingers,
followed by weakness in the upper
parts of his arms and legs.
This condition becomes worse until
he cannot lift his feet, bend his ma
jor joists or turn over in bed. One or
both sides OF his face is apt to be-
come paralyzed and his sight may
be affected. In one case observed by
DR.. Kennedy, the patient. after being
in the condition suddenly recovered
the use of all parts of his body ex-
cept one foot, and then just as sud
denly had a relapse and died two
days later. The disease does not al
ways end fatally, however, the patient
in many instances regaining all his
functions.
