and compulsory retirement on three
quarters pay as next higher rank Of
40 officers a year Is established, which
is designed to remove the congestion in
the lower rank at As. The bill also
practically equalizes their pay with
that Of army officers. Three important
amendments were adopted. One creates
. judge advocates corps, another abol-
fshes prize money and a third provides
for the retirement on three-quarters
pay of enlisted men and petty officers
in the navy after 80 years service.
But the most important change In the
bill as reported was the adoption, after
a hard fight, Of a substitute for the
organization of the marine corps, by
which the corps is to consist Of 5000
enlisted men and petty officers. with
general officers and staff. This will in
