Admiral Koontz, Chief of Naval Operations, has recommended to the Naval Committee of the House of Representatives a naval force of G3S ships.

He pointed out it would require a personnel of 91,000 to keep the foregoing force ready for sea on a basis of 65 per cent complement.
It is estimated the naval appropriations for 1921 are 575,000,000 dollars, and for 1920 613,000,000 dollars.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
