o Navy. A thorough study is being made by the Navy Department of the gques- tion of permanency of crews. With a fouryear enlistment comtract and with average con ditions In losses, from cavses other! than failure to re- enlist, the lowest annual turnover in the service at large that can be expected is about 22 per cent. This, s pointed out by Rear Admiral W. R. Shoemaker, chief of the Bu- reau of Naviga- tion, does not take into ‘account the percentage of the average comple- ment that is trans- ferred due to the necessity for their services elsewhere in the Navy. The greatest cause for this latter increment is the number of men required ‘to_fill details on shore and the strict adhercnce on the part of the Bureau of Navigation to a two vear tour ashore. Although it recog nizes the effect on the forces aflo of the constant demands for personne to be sent ashore, sometimes in ex change for similar ratings and some times to make good losses at shore sta tions, the belief is held in the depart ment that the effect would be far worse to permit lengthening this tour to a period any greater than at pres ent On the other hand, limiting the tour of shore duty to two years has an other effect. The proportion between the number of billets ashore and afloat varles with the rating, and in some cases, such as aviation ratings. for instance, where the number of billets on shore about equals the number afloat, the tour of sea duty it reduced to two years. This, Admira Shoemaker explains, tends to im- permanency of crews, there being feeling on the part of these ratings 1hat sea duty, wherever it may be, Is temporary. This is greatly regretted. but the bureau feels that of the two | evils, to allow men to stay ashore more than two years is the greater. It has been proposed to have plans | and estimates of cost prepared of the remaining three fleet submarines which have been authorized, but for the construction of which no appropri ations have been made. General plans have been prepared of two types of fleet submarines, one of the mine laying type and one of the cruiser type. It is estimated that these sub- marines will cost on account of hull, | machinery and outfit $5,750,000; on account of armament for the mine- laying type, $850,000, and on account of armament for the crulser type, $1,020,000. In the event the con struction of these vesdels is under taken, it is the intention of the Navy Department to build two of the three remaining submarines of the mine laying type and one of the cruise: type, a division which, with those fleet submarines now under construc tion, will provide a group of three vessels of each type.

In the event that funds are made available so that one Infantry regl ment may be equipped with the new Army supply wagon, extensive field tests are contemplated by the War Department of this new type of Army | wagon, which, in the event the tests show its superiority over the old es- cort wagon type, now used by the service, may be adopted as standard equipment. The new type, which ! shows the trend of modern automobile development, has already undergone tests at the nands of the Infantry Board at Fort Benning, Ga. The new type of supply wagon can be useis by all arms of the service, its loading | facilities can be accomplished with greater ease, and the capacity of the body is 18 cubic feet in excess of the old wagon. Among the conveniences featuring the new wagon are rear | springs, grease holes in the hubs of he wheels which greatly facilitate he process of lubricating the axles, ind a foot brake which permits the Iriver to use both hands in controlling he four-mule teams.

BERLIN, January 1.—In connection with the split between the ex-Kaiser and his administrator of many years, Herr von Berg, a rumor is circulating in monarchical circles to the effect that Von Berg's recent resignation as manager of the Hohenzollern family interssts resulted directly from Wil- llam’s second marriage. Princess Hermine is said never to have forgiven Von Berg for his oppo- sition to this union, which at the time he alluded to as “very bad form" on the part of the ex-ruler. For that matter, according to the Socialist newspaper Vosrwarts, even the ex- Crown Prince is reported to have re- ferred to his imperial papa as “a crazy nut.” It was William's great dissatisfac- tion with some terms of the compro mise settlement of the Hohenzollern claims against Prussia, however, that caused the final breach between him and his long-time business adviser and friend. In his most grandiloquent manner the ex-Kaiser is said to have demanded of Von Berg immediate pay- ment of 3,000,000 marks conceded by the state of Prussia. As administrator of this capital, for the conservation of which he consid- ered himself responsible, Von Berg, however, flatly refused to hamd over one pfennig more than the regular in- terest.
