Commenting on the effort to stimu- late ships' personnel into dolng a greater proportion of their own re- Wair work instead of taking it to navy yards, the report said: “A much larger proportion than ever before of all work of ordinary maintenance and repair of the ma- chinery of the Navy is today being accomplished by the men of the flec vithout recourse to navy yards, ex cept for necessary mate: 1. This complishment has a most favorable affect upon the skill and character cf the personnel.” . Admiral Robison said many casual- ties afloat could be “trac ignorance, carelesshess an engineering manual of instruct: on operation and care of machinor had been. prepared as “the best sub stitute for long years of experience. “In at least one instance a serious casualty involving the death of sev- eral men was asc by the com- mander-in-chief of one of our fleets to failure to carry out the safety pre- cautions set forth in the engineering manual,” the report said.

Meanwhile the German hotel keepers are indignant over the manner in which those Germans who profited through the war are deserting their own country in its time of high prices and patronizing the foreign resorts. The taxes on foreigners at the Ger- man hotels have the effect of ralsing the rates to a point where even wealthy visitors are unwilling to stay long, and the hotel keepers are clam- oring for the abolition of these taxes and urging adoption of some means of reaching the fortunes of the Ger- man profiteers who are deserting the fatherland to avail themselves of cheaper rates in other countries.
