calls attention ito the critical condition

to the explosion or the sunbOat Benning-
ton in San Diego harbOr which, he says,
most fOrcibly emphasizes the necessity OF
serious and immediate attention. Speak
ing Of the operations OF the personnel bill
which merged the corps of engineers into
the line OF the navy, he says q whole
corps of specialists was virtually abol-
ished and their duties transferred to the
l:nc. AS all miGshipmcn at the academy
had been given excellent practical i'm
Struction in engineering, ne ADDS, no eX-
animation other than shat required for
promotion was demanded of them for
qualifying or the performance of the
Joint duties imposed by the personnel act.
The intent. he continues. was that they
should be ordered at once to the per
Torrance of engineer duty in subordinate
capacities, as assistants of the older on
gneer officers.
Admiral Rae submits q plan for quick
ly supplying the navy with u body of ef-
fcient engineers" which provides that all
the younger officers must be given engi-
ncering duty and be made to realize their
responsibility, the duty IL be performed

ranking with scamanship. gunnery and

for il number of engineering specillties
in the line whose duty at sea and on
shore shall be engineering, such officers
