"Proems tlnation on the part of Secretary Dan iels" was responsible for a serious shortage 0f personnel which proved "the Inltinl handicap of the navy In the wnr," Captain Leigh C. Palmer, war time chief of the bureau of navigation, testified today before tho Scnntc com mittee investigating the navy's con duct of the .war. Tho" secretary, Captain Palmer de clared, was unable to. appreciate the necessity forobtalnlng and training men In service before an. actual declaration of war. "Even after war wns declared," the witness stated, "hn used to say 'We have too many reserves now.' " Just before the United States joined the Allies when Dm horenn nf navicft- tlon was striving to recruit nnval re serves. Palmer continued, Secretary Daniels ordered enrollment In the re serve stopped, "Did iou stop?" nsked Chairman Hnlc. "No. we needed the men and went right nhend," was tlie reply. "I talked to .Mr. Daniels the other day and he doesn't remember nnvthhic about that. but he did order me to stop enrollment men and several other times. Cantnln Palmer told the committee thnt when war was declared the navy was short 07,000 regular and leservc enlisted men and nbout 2.100 offuers from its peace-time rWpiiicments nud Hint nt least 20,000 additional rnitstcu men and runny more officers were needed for destroyers as soon ns war was de clared. He said Congress wns not to blame, as It gave everything the depart ment asked' for. Replying to n question by Chairman Hale, the captain declared Secretary Daniels did all he could to help get men "in the crltlcol days of the spring of 1917." Captain Palmer said that requests. from Itcnr Admiral Sims for numiionni offirers to assist him were granted whenever possible. He did not re member that Sims had made any re quests for additional officrrs early in the war. "Knlisted men were sent to Admirnl Sims as fast ns we lould train them." said the witness. "I didn't know he did not gef all he wanted until this in vestigation came up. When the en listed men did get abroad they didu t have barracks for them." Admit nl Rims previously had told the committee that fnlluie of the depart ment to provide him with adequate as sistance early in the war was one of bis greatest difficulties.
