Gridley has removed one OF the officers set down
for advancement over their seniors on account
Of the victory CT Manila. The promotions rec

much talk between naval officers. Those who

Jumped" and so practically set back by some
of the officers now on duty with Simpsons

until the war is ended, when all the mer torious
officers may be rewarded in strict accordance
with their merit.
