OF calling them into active service. and that THESE
officers arc holding themselves In readiness 10 re-

that an act Of 1852 Il believe 1t that year re-

tina: officers promoted on the retired list should not
be entitled TO increase OF pay by virtue Of such
promotion. then there could have been no reason

not TO be deprived Of Advancement in rank
What would be the effect II the services Of these
retired officers should be demanded by the Navy
