REAR ADMIRAL
TAYLOR MAKES
NAVAL REPORT
WASHINGTON.—Success of the
navy in solving its war time air
craft problems is attributed to the
policy consistency followed of mak
ing this work conform to regular
naval practice. Rear Admiral David
W. Taylor, chief constructor, in his
annual report made public recently
says aircraft production has been
handled like other departmental
technical questions, anil despite the
great expansion of forces necessary,
; “direction and control of aircraft
' questions have been cared for by
i officers familiar with the methods
of the navy department.”
“Civilians,” Admiral Taylor con
tinues, “have thus been able to carry
i on their naval work under the most
favorable conditions. This policy
has demonstrated its soundness. The
types of aircraft developed for pro
duction have proved successful,
changes have been a minimum and
have been adopted only with a view
to improvement.”
As the report was prepared prior
to the cessation of hostilities, it
does not go into detail on any part
of the building operations of the
I navy. As to aircraft, however, it
shows that both types of seaplanes
used by the navy are “fundamentally
American” improved in design on
British experience. In October pro
duction of the two main types was
in excess of requirements.
Development of balloons for naval
purposes also comes under Admiral
Taylor’s bureau. His report shows
that much experimental work was
done with types of parachutes, an
officer of the construction corps
having dropped from an airship in
flight and from a kite balloon to
test the design adopted. The same
officer also successfully tried out a
new type of parachute “carrying
the basket of the kite balloon and
its occupants.”
The original plans for the Naval
Aircraft factory at the Philadelphia
yard called for 1,000 small machines
annually, the report says. In Janu
ary, 1918, however, the navy’s re
quirements were suddenly expanded
and the plant was converted into an
j assembling center with four times
j that capacity. The original pro
gram maximum was reached last
March and the expansion work has
now also been completed.
Admiral Taylor gives no details
as to the ship construction. As to
the destroyer program, his mbst sig
j nificant statement is that the gov
jernment owned plant at Squanton,
j Mass., is to be continued as a per
manent adjunct of the navy.

RECMING PLAN
_
NEW YORK.—One-fourth of the
Methodist Episcopal churches in the
United tates are without pastors, it
was announced here recently by the ,
Joint Centenary committee of that
denomination, in making public
plans for a campaign to recruit 53,
000 religious workers. The re
cruits, 13,000 of whom will be
clergymen, will be utilized in help-1
ing to raise $80,000,000 to advance
the cause of Methodism throughout
the world. The fund will be in
honor of the 100 anniversary of the
founding of the first Methodist mis
sion in this country.
The war’s great drain on Metho
dist educational institutions was
shown by the report that from 42
colleges and universities of the
church, 9,617 men had gone into
military service and 6,287 more
were enrolled in the Student’s Army
Training Corps. Candidates for the
ministry being drawn from the fore
going student group, it was said,
there are no men to replace pastors
who have retired and chaplains who
have gone abroad.
Forty thousand of the workers
now to be recruited will consist of
deaconesses, medical missionaries,
teachers and laymen. They will
man the hospitals, schools and the
churches to be established here and !
abroad. Bishop Theodore S. Hend
erson, of Detroit, and the Rev. Dr.
,1. Franklin Ream, of New York
are in charge of the recruiting cam-1
paign.
