SAYS MORALE OF THE NAVY IS BEING AFFECTED. “A navy with an tneufficient and disgruntied personnel cannot be effi- olent, and its morale must neces- sarily be disastrously affected. “To enumerate the ships in the navy and make a list of new ships authorized gives no idea whatever of the true condition of the navy as to its readiness for war, Ships with- out mon are of little use, and a navy without a policy and with no well con- sidered organisation at the Navy De- partment will only invite a condition of chaos in the event of war, “The statement of Assistant Sec- retary Roosevelt that we need 18,000) men, is undoubtedly true.

Lieut. Commander Riggs of the navy said: “The navy is approximately thirty thousand men short of the war foot- ing. It is hoped that some part of this shortage may be supplied in time of war from the new naval re- serve,.composed of ex men-of-war's men. So far, however, this reserve has not materialized, and the main reliance must be on the naval militia to supply the necessary men. Tho naval militia to-day comprises about eight thousand men, which is a hope- lessly inadequate number.” Henry Wise Wood, Vice-President of the Aero Club of America, and editor of “Flying,” said: “The time has come in the develop- ment of aeronautics when aerial fleeta must be reckoned as indispensable parts of a nation’s means of defense.
