ILIVERY NAVY DEPARTMENT DISGHARGING MEN Commanding Oficers Must Pass on Release Appeals Washington, May 22.—In order to assist members of congress in reply- ing to the numerous letters which they receive in regard to the release of enlisted personnel, the bureau de- sires to set forth the percentages of men allowed to be released and to | show the present urgent need for men. To date the bureau has released 190,000 members of the naval reserve forc and 65,000 regular navy men. In addition to the total already re- leased, the bureau has directed the re- lease of three per cent. a month of | men on board ships of the navy; one per cent. a month of men on shore further, this monthly three per cent. of releases for ships has been in- ix per cent. for the months of May and June. These releases will reduce the entire number of enlisted count all new enlistments made since the signing of the armstice to 250,000 men by July 1, 1919. Until such time as the navy may cease the operation of cargo vessels and transports it will | be practically impossible to further reduce the number of enlisted person- nel on duty and at the same time maintain efliciency, unless vessels are placed out of commi on and vital activiti are discontinued. These ac- tivities cannot be contirued except by enlisted personnel because of lack of funds or lack of trained civilians to continue them. In order to show what reductions have at present been effected by the navy, the following facts are stated: On November 1st, 1918, there were in operation 50 troop transports with an average crew of 470 men. On May 1st, there were in commission 114 troop transports with an average crew of 428 men The navy is now operating 195 argo vessels, whose average crew on November 1st, was 90 men and whose average crew on May 1st, was 68 men. The total num- ber of men on shore duty had on May 31st, been reduced 60 pe cent. and a further reduction of 5 per cent. has been directed to be effective not Jater than May 15. All men who are made available as a result of this reduction will be sent to sea. In addition to the v els at pres- ent in operation there are now fitting out for delivery to the government in the next months 15 troop tran ports, 63 destroyer: 28 submarines, eagle hoats, 8 oil tankers, 3 fuel oil barges, 12 mine sweepers, 15 sea going tugs, 33 harbor tugs, 1 fuel ship and 1 gun boat. The numbers given are, of course, subject to slight reductions due to unforseen conditions at the plants of the builders. On November 11th, 1918, there were in the navy a total of 507,799 men. The total releases from all causes between November 11th, and May 1s were 3,056 men. This leaves the navy a total number of men taking into account all new en- listments made up to May 1st, 284,862 men. On July 1st, including all en- listments anticipated prior to that date, there will be a total of 250,000 men and women left on duty. Crews of all ships and all office forces on shore have been reduced to such an extent that in the future im- mediate reductions other than the one per cent. a month allowed on shore, and six per cent. a month allowed on board ships for the month of May and June, will, without a doubt, seri- ously interfere with the return of the troops from France, and in the sup- plying of food to the troops remaining in France, as well as in supplying food to the stricken people of Europe. The bureau feels that the proper man to pass on the request of a man for release should be his commanding officer and no one else. There is no other person in a position to judge as well the relative urgency of the re- quests received from men in their command. When due to ;shortages of personnel only a limited number of these requests can be granted and when, of course, these requests must he granted in order of their urgency, there is no reason to feel that the bu- reau can say whether or not the re- quest of any particular man is more urgent than the requests of the other men within the command. The bu- reau has therefor followed throughout the period of demobilization a policy of having a man's commanding offi- cer pass upon his request for release. This policy will be continued.

Realization of this error resulted almost immediately in the placing of contracts in ance for 5,875 planes of the Spad, Nieuport and Bregeut tvpes. The report shows that by May 23, 1918, American factories had delivered ,270 planes, or 24 per cent. of the ambitious program, while the French had delivered 31 per cent. of the num- ber promised on that date. Up to November 11, a total of 11,364 air- planes had been produced in America, but these were largely training ma- chines, fighting planes completed dur- ing the war period totalling only 3,328. “Broadly stated,” the history says, “the United States produced for her Army alone in her second manufacture as many airplanes as England produced for her Army and Navy in her third year.” Organization of the manufacturing | industry is declared to have been the smallest of the air an alarming shortage of cloth and varnish, or “‘dope,” for the wings de- veloping at the very start.

Experiments also were und way with the Italian Caproni, to be driven by three Liberty engines. “But American invention was able to bring out a strictly American bombing plane that promised to super- sede all other types in existence,” says the report. “This was the Mar- tin plane, which, with a wing spread of 75 feet, attained a speed of 118 miles per hour against 100 for the Caproni.
