PERSONNEL BILL A FAILURE. fE e Wjas One of Those Who Advocated jpt—^Perceptible Decrease in Effir' . ciency of Machinery. E a g le B u reau, 60-3 F o u r te e n th S treet. ' ■Washington, O c tober 18—In h i s an n u a l re port, w h ich w a s m ade public to-day, Ad- Dmiral M e lville, e n g ln e e r - in-chlet of th e N avy, la d m l t s th a t th e personnel bill, th e adop- Itle n of which he and his organizatio n urged, Bhas proved a failu re, and he declares t h a t ■under I ts operation t h e engineering efficiency |l s “rapidly decreasing.\ H e even looks w ith Ifav o r on th e estab lish m e n t of a sep a r a te en- Ig lneer corps, sim ilar to th e one th a t for- Im e rly existed, and w h ich he helped to have labolished. Admiral Melville says th a t much of the Iretrogresslon along engineering lines that ■has been so marked during the past ■two years, is due to the failure of those in lauthority to p roperly adm inister the law, and |h e practically alleges bad faith on their part. Admiral Melville’s report Is regarded as Iquite rem arkable, in th a t he tacitly re- Ipudlates the scheme for which he and other ■engineers contended and lays the responsi- Iblllty for Its failure on the officials of the ■Navy Departm ent. He -says th a t co n tr a r y to th e In ten t la n d expectation of C o n g ress, th e sta tu s of ien g in e e r s in th e N avy h a s n o t been advanced Ib y th e law and he quoted P r e s id e n t Roose- Iv e l t a s saying, while A s s istan t S e c r e tary of jth e N a v y : “E v e ry officer on a m o d e rn w a r gvessel h a s to be a fighting en g in e e r .” . A d m iral M elville says th a t m u c h of th e Ideplorable condition now existing in th e en- Ig in e e r corps is due to the refu s a l of the de- Ip a r t m e n t - t o r e q u ire officers t o perform alter- 1 n o tin g duty on th e deck and In th e engine I room . H e sa y s : “The positive assurance w a s given t h a t th is i w as. p rovided fo r by altern a tio n of duty be [tw e e n th e deck and the engine room . The 5 p o int w a s th e n raised, why should it not be j specifically sta te d In the bill th a t th is alter- i n a tio n m u s t tak e place ? T h e answ e r to such 1 q u e s tion was th a t th i s w a s a detail which I could b e s t be carried o u t b y departm e n tal j o rder or regulation. T h e sincere advocates I of the m e a s u re believed th a t It would n o t be j b e s t t o lim it t h e d e p a r tm e n t by specific oper- I n tlon of law. As th e proposition w as one j w h ich h a d b e e n Indorsed by th e Secretary j a n d even com m ended by th e P resident, It I w a s presum ed^ t h a t th e whole Influence of th e } Navy D e p a r tm e n t w o u ld be exerted in im r proving the sta tu s of engineering. It w as [c e r ta in l y expected by the n a v a l com m ittees lo f the H o u s e an d Senate th a t the departm e n t, ] b y regulation, would provide f o r th e engineer- I lag needs of th e fu tu r e ; otherw ise this need I would have been carefully tak e n i n to consid- I e r a tlo n in th e fram ing of th e m e a s u re.” I A d m iral M elville says th a t the lorce of 100 w a r r a n t m a c h inists chat C o n g ress allow e d for w o r k In the engine room has. n o t filled th e b ilk . W ith o u t d e tr a c tin g from the capa bilities of w a r r a n t m a c h inists he says they ! a r e n o t - fitted by previou s tra i n i n g . for ex perience to; tak e , c h a r g e of th is Im p o rtant d e p a r tm e n t of the ship, As a re s u l t of th is [ inadeq u a te supervision in th e engine room s ' there bhs bden a perceptible decrease in the 1 efficiency of th e m a c h inery and a progrssive I increase in th e cost of r e p a irs. D efinite d a ta upo n .this question Is difficult I to secure since this retrog r e s s ion is progress- I slve in ch a r a c ter and the full ex ten t of the evil can n o t be determ ined w ith o u t searching investigation. The condition of the m a c h inery of the to r - [ pedo b o a t flotilla show s th e tren d of affairs. 1 D u ring th e p a s t y e a r th e disablem e n t of t o r pedo boats h a s been of such frequ e n t occur rence th a t th e m a jo r ity of th e boats have been u n d e r rep a ir a g r e a t p a r t of the tim e . M any of those m ishaps a r e serio u s in ch a r acter. and th e p r e s e n t condition of th e flotilla affords an Incontrovertible arg u m e n t In favor of t h e proposition th a t p r a c tical engineering ability of high order is required for th e i r successful care and operation. In his opin ion th e m a c h inery of the torpedo boat craft would n o t be In I ts p r e s e n t deplorable condi tion if en g in e e r officers of experience had been detailed for supervisory duty in con nection w ith th e boats. A d m iral M e lville com es back a t the line officers who a r e com p laining th a t they have not sufficient officers for deck duty w ith the suggestion th a t it w a r ran t m a c h inists are good enough to succeed officers in the engine room, th e n boatsw a ins and g u n n e r s are good enough to aid officers on deck. \If w a r r a n t m a c h inists a r e com p e te n t to r duty in th e engine room ,” say s A d m iral Mel ville, “ I t m ay be p e r tin e n t to inquire why the boatsw a ins and gunners who are also w a r ran t officers are not equally com p etent to carry < n tho routine deck duty. Such an a r rangem e n t would p e r m it som e of th e Junior officers of the line to receive engineering in struction, even it It w e re not deem e d d e s ir able t h a t they should ren d e r service beneath the protective deck. In th e B r itish service boatsw a ins and gunners carry on such deck duty on sm a ll ships, and it Is to he p r e sumed th a t our w a r r a n t officers would also be com p e tent for th e ta s k if such assign m e n ts w ere m a d e .’’ A d m iral M elville m a k e s th e follow ing rem e dial suggestions; 1. T h a t the policy lately inaugurated of detailing Junior officers of th e line exclusively to engineering duties be g r e a tly extended. 2. T h a t a post graduate course on In s tr u c tion in m a rine engineering and design be established a t the Naval Academ y for those Junior officers of the line who desire t o f a m il iarize them selves w ith m a r in e engineering. 8.
