DEMANDS OF NEW MERCHANT MARINE NAVfSfROBLEM Training Facilities to be Extended to Accommodate 111 ,000 Men at Once. ' Hv APflocltted Prcast : WASHINGTON. Dec. 10. War time increase of the naval personnel from 66,000 to nearly 500,000 to man 1,800 vessels Instead of 176, is described in the annual report of Rear - Admiral Leigh C. Palmer, chief of the bureau of navigation, made public today. Every one of the ships in commission, from battleships to cargo carriers, Admiral Palmer says has "complete complements of officers and men with excess personnel to provide for training new drafts. The navy also provided armed guards and radio crews for merchant vessels In transatlantic service." The great task now. In the opinion of Admiral Palmer who recently was relieved from the bureau to take command of a battleship, win be furnishing 220,000 officers and men for the Shipping Board's merchant fleet estimated to comprise 1,924 vessels by December. 1919. To accomplish this the permanent training facilities have been expanded so as to accommodate 110,000 men at 'once. These include the Great Lakes station, with a capacity of 45,000; Newport and Hampton Roads, 25,000 each; and Pelbam Bay, N. Y.. 15,000. Hundreds of ships are used as floating schools, each being assigned a certain number of men to be taught the rudiments of seamanship, and 14 Institutions are conducting regular courses in the training of officers. "Notwithstanding the enormous expansion of the personnel," the report says, "the various units of , the navy have reached a higher state of battle efficiency than ever before,": Enlistment statistics show that every state in the union contributed to the growth of the navy, such states as Montana and Nevada each sending more than 1,600 men. There were 2,203 desertions during the year, but the percentage of desertions dropped from 1.43 to .93. Admiral Palmer reports that roughly, 412,000 of the 435,000 in the navy are Dative born, and 15,000 are naturalised citizens. New York alone furnished 32 per cent, of the native born.

Postoffice Work Is Hampered by Illness of Nine Employes

Nine employes of the postoffice are absent from work because of illness, and in consequence the rest of the employes are compelled to work overtime in order to get necessary duties done. Five carriers and four clerks are among those listed as "missing" among the postoffice employes. The shortage in help at the postoffice has made it necessary to cut the number of deliveries to a minimum. Only one delivery is made to the residence districts, and every effort Is being made to get important business letters to their destination on schedule. Postmaster Beck mounted the parcel post delivery wagon Tuesday morning and rode for several hours delivering parcel post packages.
