SHIPS WITHOUT MEN.
\ssistanl Secretary of the Navy
I! "ist-velt litis done well to remind the
• unlit • I tile serious shortage of men
n the navy now that the question of
imprcpuredness lor defense lias
n raised conspicuously by Repre
.- • ntailvc Gardner.
i us ing tn the ill-considered policy
i congress. which has been wasting
millions yearly in pork barrel projects,
ti tin vs has not enough men properly
ti man the ships in being. The same
policy has been followed as to the
mobile arms Senator Warren, chair*
it a of the senate committee on palli
t is affairs, recently has said: "In the
i •M artillery, where men should work
tl guns in at least three reliefs, I
doubt if we have men enough to man
the guns in one relief. We have the
deep water harbors fortified, but there
is nothing to prevent an expeditionary
I force from coming ashore anywhere if
it elude or (tipple the navy."
b> tax : C
And consider this: The United
States government pays in round
numbers about $1,000,000 annually for
each 1,000 men it has In Its regular
army. It provides every company
composing this force with at least threi
trained officers. The average stirngil
of the companies Is less than sixty -
live men. According to the best mili
tary opinion these officers could train
150 men better than they can train 05
ifere, then. Is an economical waste
which no business concern could stand
and whicli our government should not
Why not have every company working
at its fullest capacity ' Why should
this not be a reasonable wpy of de
creasing the per capita cost of our
overexpensive army, of Increasing the
number of men under training and of
adding to the much needed reserve
that the secretary of war is reported to
have recommended in Ills forthcoming
report ?
The trouble with congress is that it
never lias adopted u definitely consid
ered military policy. It has drifted
aimlessly and followed a hand-to
mouth policy. As a result we liavt
paid the maximum for results whicli
are not the minimum only been use of
the splendid personal of service.
At this session of congress not only
should the naval situation he faced
frankly, but the army reorganization
plan put forth by the general staff and
war college within the year should be
considered and set in motion. That
plan Is not conclusive, and we believe
should be changed in some respects
It was drawn with perhaps too much
thought of the unwillingness of eon
gress and the Indifference of the public
Recent events will have < rented n more
favorable atmosphere for attacking the
yvhole subject of our notional defenses
with thoroughness and candor—Chic
