New Ensigns to
Help Out Navy
With Latest Additions United
States Is Still 3,800 Officers
Behind Treaty Strength.
SHIPS ARE NOW UNDERMANNED
Young Annapolla Graduates Will Ma*
terially Help Destroyer Force-
Many Destroyers Now With
but Single Officer Aboard.
Washington.—The graduation of the
class of 1922 of the Naval academy re
lieves a very trying situation relative
to our officer personnel question. Last
year there were approximately 7,500
officers, including reserve officers on
active duty. But the first of this year
brought about the return of the reserve
officers to inactive status. As this
affected close to 500 officers, our serv
ice up to the time of the graduation
consisted of only 7,000 regulars.
At the same time the British navy
had in active service about 12,000 offi
cers, and the Japanese more than
8,000. These figures are very Impor
tant. We are supposed to be 40 per
cent more powerful than Japan, yet
we have 1,000 less than their comple
ment of officers. We were supposed
to be equal to Great Britain, yet we
lacked 5,000 officers of their total.
Since that time the British officer
personnel has been reduced to ap
proximately 9,200 of all ranks. But
still, it is to be seen, we are 1,800 offi
cers behind our "parity” nation, de
spite the graduation of 400 new and
Inexperienced but well grounded en
signs. Our officer strength relative to
Japan, based on the 5-5-3 ratio estab
lished at the armament conference,
should be 11,200 for America to 8,000
for Japan.
And so. It is apparent that in spite
of our material strength we are still
3,800 officers behind our treaty
strength.
Glad to Gat New Officers.
The navy is very glad to get these
new officers. Since the reserves have
returned to inactive service we have
had a hard time maintaining even 50
per cent of the navy which we retain
under the various treaties. So soon
ns their few months of leave is up
these young men will go to their as
signed stations, on the battleships, the
gunboats, the destroyers and the shore
stations.
For some time we have been forced
to maintain destroyers in reserve
commission with but a single officer
aboard. Not only this, but some
destroyers have had to be maintained
without a single commissioned officer
in their cabins —with petty officers
commanding. Such a condition has
not existed in any other navy In the
world for a period of twenty-five years.
It will now be possible to reassign our
destroyer officers to do away with this
condition and to bolster up the offi
cer strength of the forces as a whole.
Our battleship forces, our first line
of defense, has had but 80 per cent of
fts officer strength for some time. By
assigning these new officers to the big
ships It Is hoped to bring the officer

FIND FIRST GOLD EVER MINTED
Coins of the Time of Croesus Dis
covered by Americans.
Thirty Gold Placet Unearthed by
Archeologists In Buried Ruins of
Sardis, Ancient Lydian Capi
tal In Asia Minor.
New York. —Thirty gold coins be
longing to the first series ever minted
have been unearthed by American
archeologists who are working on the
buried ruins of Sardis, the ancient
Lydian capital in Asia Minor. Fifteen
of them may come to the Metropolitan
Museum of Art.
They are the coinage of Croesus, the
last king of Lydia, and the first great
international banker, whose name has
been n symbol of wealth for nearly
2,500 years.
The coins were minted some time
between 561 B. when Croesus as
cended the throne of Lydia, and 546,
strength up to about 85 per cert of
the necessary strength.
However, if the navy is cut from
96,000 to 86,000, as provided in the
naval appropriation bill, the enlisted
complements of the battleships will
have to be reduced further, for It is
impossible to put a single ship of
this type out of commission without
a tremendous loss of power. De
strbyers in active commission will have
to be placed In reserve with from 50
to 15 per cent of their required com
plements aboard and some of those
in reserve will have to be placed en
tirely out of service.
Deterioration of Destroyers.
No type of ship, except the sub
marine, deteriorates with the lack of
upkeep quite so fast as a destroyer.
The reduction in the upkeep forces will
mean that the 150 odd destroyers now
wasting away will be augmented.
This waste will have to be made good
tn the near future; the conditions of
the naval treaty demand It.
However, the reduction will not be
wholly in the sea forces. Our naval

Three Boys Won Prizes for Ef

College Park, Md. —Because Warren
Rice, Joseph Glackin and George Wor

milk and no money, that beef cattle

They carry round-trip tickets to Liv

bridge, numerous letters Inviting them
to visit some of England's famous es

when he was captured by Cyrus, the
Persian king, in the battle before Sar
dis. Some of the 30 “staters,” as they
are called, are as bright as new mint
ed pieces of United States gold money.
They are lighter In hue, as they are of
pure gold.
Before this find, which Is considered
one of the great archeological discov
eries In years, there were only five
“staters” known to be In existence.
Four of these were so rubbed and
worn that the lion's head and bull's
head were nearly effaced. One was In
good condition. These five are In the
British museum.
News of this discovery was brought
to the United States by Dr. T. Leslie
Shear, an archeologist of Columbia
university, one of the members of the
expedition who were present when the
discovery was made. Other members
of the party were Mrs. T. Leslie

It was agricultural club work, con
ducted by the University of Maryland
extension service in co-operation with
the United States Department of Agri
culture, however, that first taught the
Maryland boys to extract the nefarious
secrets from unproductive animals.
They soon discovered that some of
their best friends among the barnyard
tribe were merely the recipients of
charity instead of faithful servants,
as they had supposed.
The truth became more and more ap
parent as they traveled about In their
own and neighboring counties in com
pany with their county agent, W. C.
Snarr, who was coaching them for the
state dairy cattle judging contest at
the Timoqium state fair. They learned
to note the difference between the
bovine eyes and heads, shapes and
sizes of body, textures of skin, udders
and milk veins and other characteris
tics which distinguish the cow that has
been bred for generations for milk
production. They became expert in
rating one fine cow above another fine
cow and in giving reasons for their de
cisions.
When the state contest was held, In
September, each of the three Cecil
county boys went home with cash
awards of from sls to $25 and a pure
bred bull calf. In addition to a loving
cup offered as a team prize.
Following their experience in match
ing wits with other farm boys the three
young Marylanders were polished tip
and sent to the National Dairy show at
St. Paul in October to represent their
state In the junior dairy cattle judging
contest. Here, in the dust of the judg
ing rings, they met boys from all parts
of the United States and came away
with fifth place. Warren Rice, how
ever, did better than his teammates
and ran up the highest Individual score
in the contest.
Win Cash Awards.
From St. Paul the team went, in easy
stages, to Atlanta, picking up along the
way Interesting bits of information
that came in handy on October 20,
when the Marylanders again went into
action against 13 other state teams.
In this contest the boys were re
quired to pass judgment on dairy cat
tle, beef cattle, hogs and sheep and
to give oral reasons for their selec
tions. They did it so well that the
judges handed them slls in cash
awards and pinned to them the big
prize of a trip to Europe which was
offered by the Southeastern Fair asso
ciation.
Now they are in England, with six
weeks of travel before them. The prize
they won Includes the expenses of
County Agent Snarr, who trained
them; E. G. Jenkins, state boys’ club
agent for Maryland, and C. L. Cham

The 30 pieces of gold, which wns
probably an enormous fortune In the
