W ashington, D. C.—Although enlist­
ed personnel of th e navy will be in­
creased by 750 men during the present
fiscal year through economies and ex­
tra finances, the force for peace-time
operations of the fleets rem ains short

of 84,410 enlisted men could be main­
tained through the funds available,
com pared to' 83,560 last year, 410 of
whom do duty in naval hospitals ad­
m inistering to V eterans’ B ureau pa­

E nlistm ents of 19,385 men will em­
pire this year, and with 65 per cent
re-enlistm ents 6785 will have to be
replaced, along with about 9170 expect­
ed to be lost through desertions, court
m artlals, sickness and accidents, mak­
ing a total of 15,955 to be recruited.

2718 petty officers and 2400 students
