ENGLAND TO FOLLOW US
May Take Important Leaf Out of
American NaYy's Book

LONDON, November 15-The admiralty
Is considering the advisability of taking an
important leaf out of the American navy's
book.
The scheme now under consideration at
Whitehall is to adopt a measure closely
resembling the navy personnel bill passed
by the American Congress.
A departmental committee is sitting and
has had submitted to it various reports re-
garding the workings of the new American
system.
1t Is said the committee is likely to adopt
q plan by which engineers now serving will
retire with an honorary line rank but that
IN the future engineers will be selected
from the cadets of the training ship Brit
tan1a, under the system employed at An
napohs. and thereafter will hold executive
rank.
One OF the great difficulties in the way
OF the plan is the Brittania's lack of facli-
ties 10 accommodate a sufficient number of
cadets to supply both sections of the serv-
ice.
The innovation probably will be bitterly
opposed by certain cliques in the navy,
