NAVY NEEDS MEN If a treaty of peace with Spain should be signed before congress makes provisions for an increase in th© enlisted strength of the nrfvy that important branch of the govern ment would be badly crippled. With the increase of the navy there has been a demand for more men, and at the beginning of hostilities congress authorized Secretary Long to enlist enough n^en to man the vessels, but their services must be dispensed with when peace is declared. April 1, when preparations for war were be ing made, the men and apprentice» numbered 13,096, and under the au thority allowed in the conduct of the war this was increased until the maxi mum strength war r ached August 15, v.ben 21,122 enlisted men were in the service. This nbtnbe r has been grad ually dcerea&vd by discharge of the remained naval reserves until men. Of on October 15 only ships and these 750 are on rec men, and 4(0 of them are she.r not available for fen fur Secretary Leng i m the r reductions are n be crippled, the d* p unable to reestablish European other foreign stations, and wil com ¡»el led to put some of tbe v< out of commission. Secretary Long will ask congress fcr an increase of at least 7,500 men. which will bring the enlisted strength of the navy up to 20.009. Every day hundreds of applications for discharge are made by men who enlisted for the war and whose positions in civil life arc in j- < ; »• ;-«• they do not resume their duties. The depart ment is unable to crant these requests and this may cause many’ of the men who fought for their country to lose their positions in civil life. SEA-SIGNALING DEVICE.
