MOODY AFTER BUREAUcRATs.
Secretary Proposes to Bring New Set
Of Navy Officers to Washington.

Washington. Feb. "A little social
revolution will be caused in Washing
ton by the decision of Secretary OF the
Navy Moody not to assign to duty
here. except in a few unusual cases,
naval officers who have within late
years had shore details in the .arital.
This will affect a great many otto. RS
who have been coming to Washington
for shore duty after every tour of SEA
service and regard it as their home.
Some of them have purchased homes
here.
Mr.. Moody found that most of the
officers who applied for duty ut the
navy department or elsewhere in the
capital had been here before on the
same service. while many officers who
were anxious to get detail at the
navy department or the Washington
navy yard We're never gratified The
practice seemed To him to be unfair.
The secretary has directed the bureau
OF navigation to refer to him all applca-
tons of officers for duty in Washington
and not to make any assignments to the
navy department or any branch of it in
This city without his approval Mr.
Moody believes that n tour of duty in
Washington should I've part of Il naval Off
GERS education. Naval officers who have
not had a Washington detail for many
years Will have the preference.
Two officers whose names were brought
to the attention of the secretary when he
was called upon to select n chief of the
photographic office Were not considered,
because they had had duty here within 4,
very recent time while the officer who
won the prize. Lieutenant Commander
Hodges. WAS chosen not only on account
Of his ability as photographer but be
cause he had had little if any service in
this city

cereal p1arkets jumped even more eX-
citedly to new high record prices for
