RETIREMENPS FROM THE NAVY.
Captain LemIy's Construction of Law
Concerning Ihem


Capt S. C. Lemly. Judge Advocate Gen
erai of the Navy. rendered an opinion yes
terday that the Naval Personnel law reg
ulate the number of retirements annually
IN e;.ch grade of the Navy. and did not
permit the selection from the lists Of APP
plicaHts for military retirement in the or
der OF rank only. The opinion was based
on the claim made before the Navy De
partment, that in making Up the necessa-
~ forty vacancies required each year in
grades above thai of junior lieutenant.
the highest ranking officer applying for re-
tirement should be retired first. then the
second officer in point of seniority and so
down the entire list OF application until
The necessary member Of vacancies had
been made.
Captain Lemly holds. however. that as
the act provided that a specified number
OF vacancies should occur in each grade
each year. no more than that number
must be taken from a particular grade
Otherwise. he asks. why was this elaborate
specification Of a certain number above
e,tch grade so carefully made2 The law
paTticulariZes certain number OF officers
above each grade" says Captain Lemly.
and the only way by which effect can be
gwen TO this specific use OF language Is to
hold that II provides, not for the retire
meIt OF forty officers. IL that be the num-
Der required. all indiscriminaIely above the
grade OF lieutenant, junior grade, but OF
forty officers selected in certain proper
tons from each one Of the grades above
that grade. In other words. if there be
fourteen captains who are applicants for
voluntary retirement then thirteen shall
be taken in the order Of their rank, and
TIE fourteenth, being the junior, shall NOT
be taken. but an officer OF the next lower
grade snail be taken instead.
The plain intent OF the bin is that
where a large number Of officers are TO b
voluntarily retired from the Navy they
shall not all be taken from one grade in
1t, thereby perhaps unduly weakening that
grade, bst their selection shall be distri-
buted. through several grades. so as to
preserve the relative character and eff
cheney OF the whole naval service This
in no way ignores the provision that ap-
piicants are 10 be retired in the order O.
their rank. That provision simply means
that all those retired as captains shall be
retired IL the order Of their rank as such;
those as commanders. in the same way.
and 50 On
This view is further strengthened By
the provisO in section 9. That not more
than I'VE captains. four commanders. four
lieutenant commanders. and two lieuten-
ants are 50 retired in any one year This
clearly displays the intent Of the act that
the retirement for which it provides shall
be so arranged as to come, not all be-
yond a certain number. from any one
grade. but shall be distributed among sew
eral grades 90

The Value of Outdoor Educ.,,on

This is an appropriate time Of year to say
word or two about the man who rocks
the boat, and that other foolish youth who
takes girl out in q sailboat whsr he does
not know how to manage it. Some one has
mildly suggested that both these persons
should be kept in judicious confinement
until they learn to stay away from the
water.
Certainly. people who do not know how
to behave themselves in boat ought not to
go into one alone. But though in some
cases an ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure, there are some things in
which the preventive policy is not good
