ships and an extensive building pro-
gram already under way.
Under the Vinson act. passed by
the last Congress. 102 fighting craft
are to be added to the naval forces
by 1912.
Naval officials said a three or four

also stimulus for the administra-
tons recovery movement by turn
ing new ship construction into the

said, with ships already laid down or
to be started this year
Thirty-twO Laid Down.
Thirty-two war vessels were laid
down during the past fiscal year. The
Navy will open bios August Is for
4 new cruisers, submarines, 2 heavy
and II light destroyers.
The Navy, it was learned recently,
had approved plan calling for a
start on IL light destroyers, heavy
destroyers and 5 submarines during
the 1886 fiscal year. This number
would have to be increased appre-
ciably should the Navy be brought
to treaty strength in three or four
years
The Navy is most deficient in de-
stroyers and undersea craft. Nu-
mericaIly. the ships to be- built under

these types far ahead of all others.

Need More Men.
Navy offieials said a personnel in
crease would be required, along with
all increase in building operations.
For the 1886 flscal year the Navy had
planned to ask for an enlisted
strength OF $4,000 men, as against
