have been commissioned ensigns last
June were sent to sea early in May. two
months before the regular date. These
early graduations have been made on
short notice heretofore. but Secretary
MOODY has issued an order for carrying
out comprehensive plan for obtaining
officers. by directing that the present
first class be graduated on Feb. /, 1908;
the second class year later on Feb. 1,
1904; and the third class, which would
not leave the Academy ordinarily until
July, 1905, in June. 1904. This order,
when carried out, will give 2F additional
ensigns within less than two years.
At the same time the Secretary has
sent TO sea all naval officers heretofore
on duty al the Academy whose places
can be filled by thc'professors of mathe-
mates already in the service; and in his
estimates for next year asks for the APP
pointment of two civilian professors
as heads OF the departments of English
and OF modern languages and for thirty
civilian instructors, These, il authorized,
will relieve like number OF naval
officers.
In a speech at Chicago recently, Sec
rotary MOODY said that 6O7 officers were
needed to give even the minimum COM
plement to the vessels now in commits
sion; and that for the sixty or more ves-
sells under construction 7S3 additional
officers will be needed to provide the
minimum complement. The navy is
thus shown to be short of 1890 officers.
Annapolis will at the present rate pro-
vide 3j5 officers by July. 1905; and under
the law not more than eighteen enlisted
men may obtain promotion by that
date. Even with every midshipman
graduated and every enlisted man pro-
noted who is entitled to commission.
the navy will lack more than / 900 officers

The Nays Officers.

The dangerous inadequacv of the
supply of commissioned officers for the
navy is emphasized by two recent events:
I ri, the decision of the Secretary
Of the Navy AZ once to reopen the
entrance examination for Annapolis; $40.
ond, his order directing that three classes
of midshipmen be gradual ed during the
next twenty months.
Three examinations for admit,ance
to Annapolis have been held already
this year, on April Is, Aug. II and
Sept. Is, at which 227 candidates pre-
scented themselves. Only l47 succeeded
in passing however, leaving nearly one
hundred vacancies in the corps of mid
shipmen. To try to fill these. Mr.. MOODY
has decided to have another examina-
ton on Nov. II, and has sent message
to each Senator and Representative who
has not exercised his right to appoint q
candidate, urging him to nominate a
principal and five alternates who will
take the examination. Owing to the
short time before the date fixed. the
persons nominated will have to come to
Washington.
The appointment OF cadets to the two
schools at Annapolis and West Point ia
not merely privilege belonging 70 NOM
bers OF Congress: it is a duty which they
should be prompt to fulfil. The very
unusual action Of Secretary MOODY in
ordering another examination lit is the
first time that one has been held after
the opening Of the academic term in Oc-
tober) offers still another chance this
year to lads ambitious to enter the navy:
and it should be seized eagerly by
many.
Beginning In 1893. II has been found
necessary on account OF the small num-
Der Of officers for sea duty to graduate
all but one Of the classes at Annapo-
