The Navy Department has again reit-
Grated its policy that marines shall be
placed at the guns on shipboard under
their own officers whenever practicable.
There has been stubborn opposition to
this policy on the part of many of the
officers of the line for many years, who
claim to act in the interest of the sail
ors. The question was recently brought
up by Captain Sands, commanding the
cruiser Columbia, on the ground that the
regulations were not altogether clear on
the subject. In reply he has been in
formed under the policy adopted by the
depai tment, marines ''must" be detailed
at the guns, and, so far as practicable, be
under command of their own officers
Heretofore the regulations have been
variously construed as allowing the com
handing officers discretion in the matter.
