ilEDFORD MATL TRIBUNE MEDFOUD, OREGON', TUESDAY, MAY 13, 1017
PSGE THREE
L REFORM IS
ASSURED Blf NEW
LONDON", May 15. Naval reform,
long demanded by public opinion, and
which Is the direct outcome of the
submarine menace, has been an
nounced to parliament by Sir Edward
Carson, first lord of the admiralty.
It tal:es the Bhape of giving to the
admiralty a stronger board for doing
for the navy what the committee of
imperial defense does for the nrmy.
Heretofore the admiralty board has
been hampered by heavy administra
tive duties concerning construction
and supply, which interfered with its
giving its best attention to the fight
ing sode of the navy. This now is to
be remedied. The new board consists
of Admiral Sir John R. Jellicoe, Ad
miral Sir Henry Oliver, Rear- Admiral
Sloxander L. Duff, Rear-Admiral Hal
sey, Sir Eric Campbell Geddes and H.
H. D. Tothill. -
Sir Eric Geddes, the new civilian
member of the boarij with temporary
rank of vice-admiral, has previously
been in charge of all communications
and supplies of war material in
France, whero he performed most
valuable work. He will now under
take similar work for the fleet, as
well as organize the production of ar
maments and munitions and will con
trol all shipbuilding requirements for
the admiralty. This will give tho
naval members of the board an oppor
tunity to devote themselves entirely
to the fighting side of the fleet, espe
cially the submarine menace.
