“TOO MANY ADMIRALS”
U.S. NAVY CRITICISED WASHINGTON, Dec. 23. In ihaking charges against the efficiency of the United States Navy, before the Congressional Committee, Admiral Magruder said: “There are too roany admirals and too much useless machinery. “You should build your ships in Government yards,” ho added. “If you going to spend £20,000,000 on a new navy, build the ships yourself. Do not fatten the contractors. Our ships are overcrowded with men. I found IT wireless operators in one ship. The navy has really failed to demobilise the war.”
