 | It is regarded as extremely probable | that an assistant attorney general will be assigned to assist Judge Advocate l Lemley in looking after the interests of
 the Navy Department before the court: The names of the several officers of
 the Department of Justice have been | considered in this connection but so far
 no final selection has been made. Cap tain Lemley has expressed his willing ness to conduct the case without as- sistance, but the officials of the Navy Department have practically concluded that he should have the aid or cooper ation of an officer of the Department of Justice learned in the intricacies of law. | It ia stated here on good authority l that lMessrs.
