NAVY SHORT OF
AIR PILOTS

Prospects Of securing a force or
I 900 ayiators. commissioned and en-
listed. by 1881 are at present dis
courartnx. according to Acting Sec
retarv of the Navy Warner. who
yesterday stated that there was
serious shortage in aviation per-
sonnet
This shortage In due to the failure
OF enlisted men under tralhlnS a.
Pensacola, Fla., to qualify as pilots,
according to Warner. He SAID there
are at present only 4bs qualified
Naval aviators and explained that
the department has several plans
for changing this situation under
consideration, but has not yet de-
cided what course to take. It may
like the Army, enlist cadets ex'
pressly for aviation service.
Although there are sufficient
pilots to care for minimum needs
Tor the five-year expansion program
Of the Navy expiring in 1881, the
rate OF increase has not been
enough to offset loss caused by
deaths, designations, accidents and
other causes, and at the same time
show a gradual increase In person
mel.
The law specifies that of the total
number of Naval aviators, 80 per
cent must be enlisted pilots, and
while this would mean $50 in 1891,
there are now but 141. 1T has
been impossible thus far said
Warner. ito obtain the full 30 per
cent Of enlisted pilots in spite OF
the fact the Navy has been training
enlisted personnel TO the almost en-
ne exclusion Of the commissioned.
