The annual ARMY AND NAVY NEWS (Continued f; very little about recruiting and are, generally speaking, unfamiliar with the difficulties to be met in securing men for the Navy. “Today the recruiting force must set quantity and every effort is made to secure quality also. Today we en- list yearly as many men as were in the ‘entire Navy twenty years ago. Today the doctors examine and pass men in accordance with their physical fitness, Today recruiting officers are active service men, protecting the service from unfit recruits to the best of their ability, accepting less than 34 ‘per cent of th who present themselves, not including aliens or cripples.” After going into detail as to the difficulties the rgeruiting service is confronted with, particularly at times like this when employment is plenti- ful and high wages rule, Capt. Leigh continues: “Coming back to the causes for de- sertion, as expressed by service opin- ion, it 1s significant and of deep con- cern to note that 64 per cent of the officers place the blame upon officers and chief petty officers—upon our- selves, those of us in the service and responsible for the Navy's success. “When we come to remedies sug- gested for preventing desertion even a larger per cent place the responsi- bility” in the hands of officers and petty officers, for 61 per cent recom- mend more and better training in the art of handling men—that Is better instruction in personnel management. To me it is a healthy sign that we admit our shortcomings. “This important subject of person- nel management has become a definite science, as attested by courses of study on the subject inaugurated in universities. The Navy man handles the material of the Navy and the line officer handles the men. It is his specialty. Every midshipman before leaving the academy should have a thorough course in personnel man- agement. In my opinion, the lack of training midshipmen in handling men is responsible for a large part of avoidable defections. The midshipmen 80 into service with the idea that an enlisted man is in a class below the “plebe” and generally treat them accordingly. he Bureau of Navigation is en- gaged in the preparation of a course of study which will present the mod- ern theories on this subject. No sub- Ject is more closely related to the turn-over of the Navy, and it i important that it {s intended to in- troduce it later into the examination for promotion of officers and pett. officers.” 3 Selection of officers to take the post- graduate courses at the Naval Acad- emy, the school being scheduled to start on June 1, has just been an- nounced as follow: Steam engineering—Lieuts.

Arlington, too, an imposgant link in the coastal chain used for medium dis- tance communication with points along the Atlantic coast and even with Guantanamo and with ships at sea, is “worked” by an operator at central. Long-distance reception from far- flung naval radio stations is secured by means of six large receiving sets, cach located in a small separate room, from which leads run to the central switchboard and to a corre- sponding number of operating desks. Directly overhead eight-foot loops pick these messages up. A continuous watch, day and night, is kept on these large sets. One lis tens in for San Diego on 9,800 meters. a second for San Francisco, on 10,500 meters; a third for San Juan. on 8,785 meters; a fourth for Balboa, on 000 meters: a fifth for French sta- tions, on 15,000 meters; the sixth is kept for emergencies, experimental work and work with the ships. With the opening of “Central” the long land wire to Bar Harbor has heen diccontinued=and no more does Bar Harbor reign as the chief send- ing and receiving station for long- distance work. At present the work there is confined to coastal and radio compass operations though the equip- ment has been left in gace for war- time or other emergency uses.

As no details of his death and the iilness that preced- ed it were given.in the brief dispatch received, from Japan, Gen, Lejeune has cabled over for further information and has requested the naval attache at To- kio to arrange to have the body brought to the and brought to the states for burial For considerably more Col. Ellis has been in the far east and has visited a number of countrie Ever since the war he has been in ex- tremely bad health, and he figally was granted leave with permission to go abroad. This has from time to time been extended in the hope of his even- tual recovery Born in ITuka, Kan, in 1880, Col Ellis enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1900, and a year later was appbinted a second lleutenant.
