.LEMLY
RETIRES
TODAY
Judge Advocate Of the Navy
Who Conducted Schley
Court

Washington, D, c., June S---As
a reward for the capable manner in
which he represented the United
States with the gunboat Marietta at
La Guayra while the gunboats of
England Germany and Italy were
blockading and bombarding the Ven.
ezuelan coast in December, 1902,
Commander s. w. B. Diehl becomes
Judge advocate general of the navy
in succession to Captain s. c. Lemley,
whose term in that important position
expired today.
The selection of Commander Delhi
was somewhat of a surprise to naval
circles as his name had never been
mentioned in connection with the
place. He had more of a reputation
as an all around capable officer, with
a specially for compass work, than
as lawyer. He is the author of a
standard work on the deviation of the
compass needle.
During the Venezuela imbroligo the
little Marietta was the only American
warship in Venezuelan waters al
though Admiral Dewey, with an inn
mense fleet, was not far away, at Gull
ebra. Porto Rico. It looked for
time as If the aggressive tactics of the
allies would render show Of force
by the United States necessary. Com
mander Diehl won the confidence of
the foreign commanders, although
they were his seniors, and the navy
department was convinced that his
tact had much to do with keeping the
United States safely out of the inter-
national complication.
Commander Diehl is of German de-
scent and throughout his naval ca
reer, which begun when he was ap-
pointed to the naval academy in 1859
from Pennsylvania, he has been cred
tied with cool judgment and great
ability. He was assigned to duty
in Washington in 1887 as Superin-
tendent Of Compasses and remained
until 1889. He again performed that
