Must Have More Men. Thus, the most stupendous fleet echeme ever adopted, will depend. In a measure, for Its successful opera tions, upon the passage of the per sonnel bill now before Congress pro viding for a gradual Increase In the enlisted men and officers. Renewed efforts will be made to have Con gress enact the- law. and President Taft may address a special message to Congress on the subject. If the desired personnel increase cannot be obtained the scheme will be carried out by retiring the older gunboats and cruisers in order to provide a sufficient number of offi cers and men for the new battleships. This would result in crippling the Pa cific fleet, since two cruisers are to be withdrawn from the fleet of eight ar mored cruisers already in those wat ers. Most of the gunboats to be sac rificed will be those on the American Pacific coast and In the Philippines. In two years from the present time, according to the schedule of fleet building, which has been carefully drawn up In table and diagram, there will not be a single battleship, cruis er or gunboat In service that took part In the Spanish-American war. The entire navy which defeated Spain will be "on the shelf." The best of the older ships, however. Including the battleships, will be held In re serve, so that with a fleet of 25 pow erful vessels plying the Atlantic there will be a second fleet. In reserve, of II battleships?a fleet which will be as powerful then as the entire navy was 12 years ago. If sufficient In crease can be had a second fleet of these ships will be organized, pos sibly to be added to the six cruisers now on the Pacific coast, thus mak ing an armored fleet of 16 ships in the Pacific.
