Greek Ensign on the New York

Among the naval orders issued yesterday
was one assigning Ensign C. E. De!igorges
TO duty on the flagship New York. Ensign
Deligorges is an officer of the Greek navy
His assignment to an American warship
was the result of the admiration felt by the
Greek Government for the United States
navy on account of its unsurpassed record
in the war with SPAIN In the war between
Greece and Turkey the Greeks expected
their navy to be victorious over the Turk
ish fleet, but no opportunity was afforded
for a naval battle. Since their war the
Greeks have devoted much attention to
modern naval methods, and out OF this grew
the request of the government at Athens
for permission to send an officer of its navy
to observe American naval methods. The
request was granted and Ensign Deligorgas
was selected as the representative of
Greece. He will be to all intents and pur-
poses an officer OF the United States Navy
