south coast Of Cuba. win be taken
up next season; also the survey of
the important ports of the north
coast OF Cuba. This work is done
by the photographic office.
The shortage Of personnel in the
recent past necessitated placing
one Of the surveying vessels as.
signed to the photographic office
out OF commission. thus cutting
the number Of ships employed on
surveys to one, the U. 8. 8. Han.

the survey Of the east coast of
Nicaragua, making II possible for
vessels to proceed safely from the
Yucatan passage to Panama.

commerce Of the world.
QUESTION. In brief. then ad-
mirai, how many Officers and men
do we require to maintain our
navy and fulfill our obligations un.
der the terms Of. the Washington
conference?
ANSWER. Five thousand seven
hundred line officers with tho
necessary staff officers in the
proportions provided by faw and
10000 men. The number OF off.
GERS should be obtained by the
present process Of commissioning
graduates of, the Naval Academy
and such warrant officers as arc,
essential in the early competitive
examination already prescribed by
law. The number of enlisted men
should be increased 10000 each
year until we regain our ratio.

is this true ,0h regard to the navy personnel stion
For this The Washington Times requested an
Interview sUith Rear Admiral Thomas Washgton, aoho

advises the Secretary of the Navy all matters of pro-
posed legislation concerning the personnel of the sevice

QUESTION. Admiral, 1t is gen
orally understood that the spirit
Of the naval treaty gives us
navy equal to Great Britain and
five-thirds times that of Japan.
1t u understood by this that We
must build ships in classes not
limited by treaty in order that we
retain this ratio. but the question
Of personnel is not so well under
stood. What effect did the Wash
ington conference have on the
personnel OF the navy?
ANSWER. The Washington con-
ference dealt with numbers and
sizes, or. to be more exact. with
the tonfiage of men-of-war Of GER
tain types. The agreement which
the United states was able to Sc
cure among the powers limited
the total tonnage Of capital ships
and aircraft carriers. The con-
ference did not discuss the size Of
the personnel of the various
navies, nor did 1t limit the ton
age of the smaller fighting ships.
nor the number of airplanes. Sipce
We are now limited in capital ships
and airpiane carriers to a navy
equal to that of Great Britain and
five-thirds that of Japan, mani
testify the size and efficiency, OF
the personnel Of the navy. both
commissioned and enlisted, become
the prime factors in determining
the relative power Of our navy,
and therefore have q most impor-
tant bearing upon our position
among the powers Of the world.
To fulfil our duty under the terms
Of the Washington conference,
both as to ourselves and to the
other signatory powers, and to be
q factor I'm securing the peace OF
the world at large. we must main
tain the sire Of the personnel Of
the navy at least I'm the proper
tions laid down By tho conference
for cspital ships.

QUESTION. Then $4,000 men
even IL granted will not give us
sufficient men to maintain our
proper naval ratio7
ANSWER. No: this was stated
very clearly in the quotation from
the Secretary Of Navy. We should
increase our personnel each year
until we regain our ratio and then
maintain Il. n we are given a
10000 increase In personnel each
year for the next three years we
win then have reEained our ratio:
unless Great Brit.in and Japan
continue to increase their naviea.
QUESTION. There were many
debates In Congress the beginning
OF this year regarding complement
OF ships and men required to man
the treaty navy. VIII you explain
this apparent mix.up In opinionsr
ANSWER. The compliments cf
ships now are greater than before

TENS. etc. The simplest methcl Of
determining our necessary compile
ments In . non.technical way 10 to
compafe the compliments Of our
ships with those Of our dearest

our ships as established by the
Bureau Of Navigation is about the
same as those of Great Britain and
less than the ships Of the japanese

meet those Of an enemy in battle

answer 1t would appear that o..

to maintain the spirit OF the ratio.

Academy Real Source

In studying the subject If line
personnel the fact must not be los,
sight OF that the Naval Academy
constitutes the navy's only real
source Of supply for officers. In
former years II was the custom 10
commission men from civil life as
officers Of the staff corps OF the
navy and the Marine Corps, on ac-
count Of the fact that the number
Of graduates from the Naval
Academy was insufficient to I'LL all
vacancies. At present our navy is
about / ZOO officers Of the line be-
low the number authorized by ex-
listing laws and It has been found
by investigation Of losses over
considerable period Of the past that
the loss Of officers Is about 8 IL per
cent per year. I believe It would BE-
an excellent thing for the sevvice II
the staff corps could be recruited
from the Naval Academy, In add
ton to the line. It might not be
practicable to supply officers to
the Medical Corps from among the
graduates Of the Naval Academy,
on account Of the length Of time IT
takes for a young man to qualify
as a physician or surgeon, but II
would be entirely practicable to re-
cruit the Supply Corps and Civil
Engineer Corps from the grad,
yates Of the Naval Academy. Such
is now the case and has for many
Years been so with regard to the
Construction Corps.
