(Continued from Page 1) that British military authorities long ago started to draft plans against expected action by Germany in the Balkans and that even be. fore Germany occupied Rumania 1t was apparent that it would most likely attack Greece sooner or later.
 There were some indications that the plans mentioned were already being put into effect and that Brit ain might be able to give strong support to Greece.
 British anticipation of Germany's intentions may have been largely responsible for the apparent indif- ference with which the Turkish Bulgarian declaration was received here, 1t was suggested.
 From the military viewpoint 1t was suggested that there were some factors unfavorable to Germany in any drive on Greece through Bul-

Fleet Expansion
Increases Demand
For Officers
Reserve Organizations
Furnish Principal
Source of Supply

Expansion of the United States
Fleet, with its accompanying shore
establishments in connection with
the national defense, has placed a
serious commissioned officer problem
before the Navy Department. The
greatest need is for experienced Off
GERS to be sent to new vessels being
placed in commission, although the
problem of meeting the demand for
junior officers is being met by special
intensive training schools being con-
Quoted for young college men.
It has been necessary to reduce
considerably the number of regular
active officers ashore, naval officials
pointed out, replacing them with re-
serve and retired officers, in order
that newly commissioned vessels
could be manned.
The numbers of regular officers in
dividual ships of the fleet have also
been reduced to minimum in order
to maintain an appropriate nucleus
OF regular officers in newly commits
stoned and recommiSsioned vessels.
Limited replacements have been ac-
complished by the employment of
reserve officers in sea billetS.
AS additions to the feet continue
it will be necessary to enlarge this
program to much greater proportions
than is now the case. But in max
ing these shifts to meet emergency
conditions, it was pointed out, the
feet will receive first consideration
in order that there may be no i'm
pairment of the present high state
of training and efficiency now exist
ing.
While additional midshipmen have
been authorized for the Naval Acad-
emy, normally it will be four years
before this increase can be expected
aboard the ships.
At this time. it was said, personnel
required to man the ships that will
be commissioned or taken over can
be met only in part by the employ
ment of the various classes of re-
serves, and there will be an newt
able demand on the active feet for
men to assist in manning the ships
required to augment the fleet. This,
it was explained, will inevitably re-
suit in dilution of trained feet
personnel which for time will lower
the feet fighting efficiency-per-
haps, it was added, at a critical time
when the maximum fighting de-
mands will be made on the fleet.
In order to meet later demands, it
has been urged that each ship of
the feet be manned by at least lis
per cent of its complement.
