TO SHIFT OFFICERS.
Engineers to u. Given nm 0pportun-
Ity TO Learn Line Duties

The Secretary Of the Navy yesterday sent
to Representative George E. Foss, Acting
Chairman of the House Committee on
Naval Affairs, q letter outlining the policy
OF the Navy Department with reference
10 the relief of engineers from sea duties
to enable them to prepare themselves for
line duties
Secretary Long says: ION the 18th of
December last orders were given that a
line officer who has not previously been
in the Engineer Corps, and who is next
in rank to the navigator OF each vessel
shall, where there Is no officer for regular
engineer duty, be assigned to duty in
charge OF the engineer department OF the
ship instead of having charge of line
division.
The policy of the department is. in
order 10 carry out the spirit of the Per
sonnet bill, to give former engineer Off
GERS, who are hereafter to perform line
duty, relief from engineer duties at sea,
in order that they may have every Oppor-
tunity 10 prepare themselves to pass the
examination required for line duties. This
seems just to them Then, further, the
policy is, pursuing the end, to provide
that at least one officer on every ship
who has always been Of the line, shall be
assigned to duty in the engineer depart
ment, 50 that he may get that experience.
In ether words. that former engineer off
Gers. who are hereafter to do line duty,
may learn line duty and line officers may
learn to do engineer duty"
