Faulty or ganization in the Navy Department and "absence of a cnit foreign policy, ex cept that of strict neutrality," operated to prevent preparation of the entire navy for the war,- Bear Admiral Mayo, commander ef the Atlantic fleet during the world war, declared today before the Senate naval investigating committee. The active licet, itself, however, waa , never better prepared, he aid, than when war waa declared. Admiral Miiyo, who waa Bear Admiral Sims' immediate superior, technically, at least .during the war, took issue with, some of the statements made by ,thnt officer in his indictment of ..the department's conduct of tho war." To the charge that no adequate plan for .cooperation with allied navies had been made in advance, he argued that the office of chief of operations had been - created only in 1915 and was not com prehensive enough to secure the best possible results; but that without it conditions would have- been "chaotic. The navy was as well prepared for war in 1917 an were the British, French and Italian navies in 1914, Admiral Mayo asserted, adding that it would kava been better prepared had tho operations bureau been created sooner ' Disagrees With Sims. Admiral Mayo did not agree with Ad miral Suns contention that every avail' "able destroyer and anti-submarine craft should have been sent abroad when war was declared. He said that it was ins , perutive that enm destroyer be kept with the Atlantic fleet. . Pointing out - th. necessity-foti sharply defined foreign policy, Admiral : Mayo said that the armed forces of a nation were merely tne instruments to support national policies. The Navy Department, he argued, was ;' responsible for the efficiency of the ser vie only to the extent of congressional provisions, -and he added that it 'took inior than A yeator. two to build up a . navy adequate to a great emergency. Lack of Foreign Policy. f" "The differences of opinion as to what constitutes an adequate navy can be traced to our lack of definite foreign policy," he said. 'The remedy for this condition lies outside the Navy Depart - ment, but it is vital to tho question at . issue." The organization of the Navy Depart ment before and during the war and -now -it unsatisfactory, Admiral Mays) : said. , . So long a the present organization exists," he continued, "tho maximua efficiency either in preparation for war, .:. in the conduct of war or in economical development of the navy in peace can- not be attained. In th present organi zation responsibility for the readiness vl tho navy for war eanaot be placed anywhere but with the Secretary of ths Nary, who - must-coordinatr thirteen officers, boards and bureaus." L . The chief of naval operations, Ad miral Mayo said, should be given more v authority and wider latitude and then be held to account for lack of efflcl- eney. ..-.

WAGE INCREASE MEANS COAL WILL BE HIGHER Bituminous Operators Say Pro duct Will Advance As Much As 1.25 Ton New York, March 30.-?Tho action of President Wilson's coal commission in granting bituminous mine workers a wage increase of 27 per cent, means the price of coal at the mines will advance 00 cents to $1.25 a ton, bituminous coal operators announced here today. While asserting they "desired to keep-the price of coal as low na possible and to avoid speculation . in the product of theire mines," mine owners cited Illi nois as the only state where the mini mum increase would apply. This was said to be due to local conditions, which lessen the cost of production. Since the removal of bituminous coal price restrictions by the President, some operators, it was stated,' already had sold large quantities of eoaj for, April delivery at from $3.50 to $4 a ton.
