Following the sinking of the radio- jcontrolled Towa during the maneuv- | ers off Panama. plans are under con- ! | sideration for fitting out two other 'old ships with radio equipment for {further experiments with the air |force. and the fleet using them as {targets. No decision has been reached {as to which ships will be used pend- }ing the return of the chief of opera- | tions and Capt. C. Shackford, director of gunnery exercises, both of whom witnessed the Iowa tests. There has been some discussion of using the Deleware and North Dakota when they are stricken from the list this fall on completion of the Colorado and West Virginia. Under the treaty these ships must be scrapped or otherwise destroved when the new warships are put in commission. A request has been received by the Navy from the Army air service that one of these battleships be turned over to the Army fliers for use as a target for the aerial bombers, “fully equipped.” It is understood it would be fitted out with a radio control and serve as a moving target for the land bombers. No action has as yet been taken. Another _achievement has been registered by the sonic depth sounder -with which™ the naval hydrographic office has been making extensive ex- periments In sounding out the ocean bed. Reports that a dangerous shoal existed just off the eastern mouth of the Panama canal led to the sending of the destroyers Hull and Corey, which made the soundings off the California coast, to locate it. Accord- ing to a report just received the whole area has been gone over and “deep water” found. As a result the reported shoals stricken from the charts. The two destroyers will join the fleet for the present, but later on it is planned to carry out more ex- tensive soundings with them. The cruiser Denver has recently been fitted out with the sonic depth finder and will leave Boston, April 10, to investigate reports of existing shoals off the east coast of Central America and the north coast of South America. She will run some. soundings in an area never before explored, depths that have never been plumbed and will investigate the reported existence of banks and shoals never verified. An Eagle boat has also been fitted olt and late in the summer will make estensive soundings around tho Hawalian Islands for the Carnegle Institute in a further attempt to lo- cate the cause for tidal waves and earthquakes that have occurred there, To keep the Navy up to the autor- ized enlisted strength, 12,712, . first With the return of the Henderson party, on April 15, to Washington, the Navy Department will take lease of life.

Calling attention in its notice that oMcers are supposed to be ready at all times for examinations, the bureau in its announcement states that records how that 20 per cent of officers recently so examined failed and were required to appear subsequently be- fore statutory boards. Failure before these boards entails suspension from promotion for six months wih con- sequent loss of numbers. Of the officers recently re-examined before the regular board, 13 per cent failed again. These failures were noticably great in navigation and engineering and all officers are warned to pre pare themselves for examination at any time.
