YOUNG BLOOD TO RUN SHIPS
To follow Example of Ft reign Govern*
ments Whose Captains Are Much
Younger Than Those in America
-Old Officers To Be Os
lerized.
.i ,
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 4.
(Special)—Under specific orders of
the President the pulse of the Ameri
can navy has been quickened. Young
blood is to be put at the top. Officers
past the prime of life, no matter
what their previous records, are to
give way, because of declining years.
Young officers, full of vim and vigor,
will occupy the bridge of the big bat
tle ships of the new navy, and minds
not warped by tradition or custom
will develop this arm of the national
defense.
To Make Navy Effective.
The orders looking to the with
drawal of all the older officers from
these responsible commands have
been prepared and soon will be is
sued. Only a day or two ago several
of the captains in command of the
battle ships that will, comprise the
Pacific fleet were relieved from duty
and younger men put in their place*.
Other retirements of like nature are
to follow, as the President has made
up his mind that the navy will never
be as effective in fact as it is in theory
until officers possessing the aggres
siveness of youth and the skill that
comes from the magnificent training I
obtained at Annapolis during the past
twelve or fifteen years are placed in
control.
The President as well as the young
officers have chafed under the slow
ness of promotion and the conges
tion in the navy, which for years has
prevented men of known ability from
receiving a deserved reward.
An important change in the term of
service during which a captain will
have command of a battle ship has
been announced. Hereafter a cap
tain is to have such command for
eighteen months only, instead of two
years or more, as has been the cus
tom for many years. This change is
made so that the department, by
shortening the terms of command,
may have the benefit of a greater
number of officers who have served
in this important capacity.
Foreign Commanders Younger.
A study of the rosters of the
French, English and German navies
shows that the captains in command
of the great fighting machines of
those countries average in age much
below the captains of the American
navy. In these countries the man
agement of the chief arm of the na
val defense is assigned to young men,
while in the United States it has long
been the policy to keep a captain in
command until he reaches the retir
ing age, regardless of whether he re
mains a competent officer or adapt
himself to the new conditions impos
ed upon him by modern naval con
struction and modern naval warfare.
The young officers have been kept in
subordinate positions, and hope to
promotion or of achieving a record in
the navy has been denied them.
The matter has been the subject of
serious discussion between the Presi
dent and Secretary Metcalf lately,
Mr. Roosevelt evidently has reached
the conclusion that it is hard to teach
an old dog new tricks. He appreci
ates the fact that the best of fighting
ships cannot of themselves afford the
nation a sense of security. The ships
must be properly officered, and from
his point of view the proper officers
for these men-of-war are the young
sters who have proved their worj.ii '■
and shown that they can and are !
willing to “do things.”
For this reason the veterans who
learned their seamanship in the old
days, and who, in many instances,
have failed to keep abrest of the rap
idly changing conditions, are to give
wayto men who are up to date, able
to stand both the mental and physic
al strain, and to get out of the ships ■
and out of the men the begt that is i
in them.' And the orders of the Pres
ident will go still further after they j
have been fully worked out.
Retired Officers to Hesl.
No more retired officers are to be
given berths on the various boards of
the Navy Department. If young blood
is desirable on the quarter deck and
on the bridge, the President believes
it is equally desirable when questions
of construction, of policy, and of
strategy are concerned. These mat
ters, which are vital to the effective
ness of a war ship after it is in com
mission, likewise will be delt with by
*
the young officers.
The youngster who has ‘‘made
j good" is the coming man, since the
l President has taken up the consider
* ation of what the navy needs. The
veterans, after years of faithful ser-
I vice, are to be put in the background.

Diamonds have enhanced in value, as nearly every one knows, more than

being attained. Added to the natural conditions, such as the'"mines getting
