Ak FRVSS [OUR NAVY NEEDS MORE O Admiral Converse Points Out Defect in the System. FFICERS. BALKANS UNDER THE RED HAND State of Anarchy Prevails in Macedonia, Brought On by the Revolutionists MURDERS ARE FRFQ UENT Favors Increased Rank |(ashes Occur r Between, the WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.—How badly off the navy is for officers and how se- { riously this condition may affect the navy and the nation is told in the an- | nual report of Rear Admiral George A. | Converse, Chief of the Bureau of Navi- gation, approved by Secretary Morton to-day. Experience, especially in gun fire, he says, has shown that it is nec- essary to increase the number of offi- | cers assigned to a ship, so that the eullmnte made in 1902 of the number of { officers needed for ships in commission { is inadequate. It provides for only about one-half as many. officers as ships of the same class carry in the British, French and German navies. Admiral Converse recommends that the ; number of lientenants be increased , from 350 to 600 and that the number of lieutenant commanders: be increased from 200 to-300. “It is especially desird- ble.” the admiral says, “that every bat- tleship and other powerful vessel re- quiring the greatest skill and experi- ence for proper efficlency should have her full quota of officers of suitable rank; yet many of our battleships have lieutenants as navigators, practi- have lieutenants as ord- nance officers and several battleships have ensigns and even midshipmen as watch and division officers. This very unsatisfactory, and even dangerous, condition is due to the many urgent de- mands for officers, the existing inade- quacy of numbers often making it im- possible to detail officers of appropriate rank. The increasing numbers of mid- graduated from the Naval Academy in time will partially relieve the situation in the lower grades, but more lieutenant commanders and lieu- tenants are needed than existing laws provide.” YOUNG OFFICERS NEEDED. Because of the important part played | by torpedo craft in the war in the Far | East, it is deemed advisable that the | larger vessels of this type be command- | ed by lieutenant commanders. To fllus- | trate how much older the captains of the American navy are than those of foreign navies, the report says youngest American commander on the day he attained that rank was older than the average age of Japanese and | about the same as the average of Eng- lish and German captains. for Japanese captains and was within | sixteen months of the compulsory re- tirement age for German and English | officers. No specific remedy for this is offered because Admiral Converse feels that if the need be recognized by higher au- thority satisfactory means may soon be devised. He remarks, however, “that until 'a measure is adopted for| the compulsory retirement of com- manders and captains that do not gain promotions at certain ages the ages of officers in the different grades will not be satisfactory.” Authorization by Congress of two vice admirals is urgently recommended in order that our flag officers may not AMERICAN CONSUL DAVIS DISPLEASES THE TURKS Regarded as Highly Probable That He Will Be Recalled From Alexandretta.

It is said the officials and people of Alexandretta regard the ac- tion of the Consul as an insult, and it is expected at the State Department that a complaint on the subject will reach here soon from Constantinople.

It is therefore recommended that the | rank of vice admiral be conferred upon | | the officers detailed as commanders i { chief of the North Atlantic and Asiatic | fleets and that the law reviving this| ! grade provide that “‘no officer shall hold | It.he rank of vice admiral in either the | | active or retired list, except w. ile ex- | ercising .such command, until he shall | have commanded a feet as vice ad- l miral for two years or else as a flag | officer for three years altogether, at| Teast one of those years as a vice ad- | | miral,” and that officers may not, as | they retire, be promoted to the grade) of vice admiral. Attention is called to the indispens- | ability of cpuisers, the report saying: | “We require a cruiser squadron in the | North Atlantic, South Atlantic and the | Caribbean and also on the European station, all these being ready on the approach of hostilities to combine in| one fleet wherever needed. In the Pa- cific our force should consist of a large | squadron of cruisers and on the| Asiatic station the battleships should be supplemented with a full squadmn‘ of cruisers.” | WORTH OF BATTLESHIPS. ! Regarding the paramount efficiency of the battleships and the part played by them in the Far Eastern war, Ad- | miral Converse says: ] “Although a hundred and more tor- pedo-boats and destroyers have been! actually engaged for flve months against battleships, which have been exposed to attack times without num- ber, we have yet to learn authoritative- |1y of a torpedo from a torpedo-vessel | causing the loss of a single battleship. | Those which have been sunk owed their destruction to submarine mines anchor- | ed or broken adrift, torpedo-vessels not contributing to the result except by the confusion and sense of greater dan- | ger dyue to their presence. It is evident | that in the final summary of losses the | aéhievements of torpedo-vessels will | count less than was at first supposed. | It cannot be claimed, therefore, that there has been so far anything to dis- | credit the battleship as a type, nor is any such outcome to be expected from | this war, whatever may be the casual- ties among battleships. To wage suc- cessful warfare with a naval force re- quires now,.and it has required in all | ages, a type of vessel which ghall com- | bine in the most effective manner the | qualities of offense, mobility, defense, endurance and self maintenance. Such vesséls are battleships and they con- stitute the main strength and reliance of a navy.” Farly in the report Admiral Converse | calls attention to the need of a general staff or board, “an advisory body which shall not be under the control of any bureau, but responsible directly to the Secretary.” P e — CHARGED WITH CRIME LIKE THE WEBER CASE Mother and Children in Pennsylvania | Accused of Murder and } Arson. ’ TOWANDA, Pa, Nov. 23.—The| Grand Jury to-day feund . true bills against Mrs. Sophia Merritt, the mother, and Charles, Bigler, Alonzo and Nancy Johnson, her children, charging them with murder and ar- | son.

Mur- ders are frequent in Salonica itself and are perpetrated with impunity WASHINGTON, Nov. 23—A report received in Washington through official sources says that a state of anarchy has become epidemic throughout Mace- donia, that public security has by no means been restored and that assas- sinations of Christians not in sym- | pathy with the Bulgarian révolutionary movement are of daily occurrence. It says that Greeks, as a rule, are the victims and large numbers of them have been tortured, with the result that | the Greeks have started bands across the frontier of Greece with retaliation as their purpose. An extract from the report says: “Public security is by no means re- stored in Macedonia. So-called political murders—that is, the assassination of Christians not in sympathy with the Bulgarian revolutionary movement, are of daily océurrence. Refusal to pay blackmail or the indication of the whereabouts of bands are reasomns for these murders, of which Greeks as a rule are victims. Since the introduc- tion of reforms hundreds of Greeks of the better class have been tortured to death or burned alive by Bulgarian bands.” It also is stated that “these would-bs savers of the country take good .care not to molest the Turks.” Another ex- tract from the report reads: “In response the Greeks have now started bands and have taken the law into their own hands. Over 1000 men in the last month have crossed the Greek frontier with the object of pro- tecting their own countrymen. The result is that a state of anarchy has become prevalent throughout Mace- donia.” ——————— Grand Jury Indicts County Treasurer. PRESCOTT, A.
