/
the Mississippi campaign. Dewey was
sixty at Manila, and Sampson and
Schley were both over tifty-eight at
Santiago.
/ That the existing condition must be
remedied is plain to the powers at Wash
ington: and something has been done to
relieve it by reducing the length of the
/ Naval Academy course for few months
at the end, so as to get the graduates
more rapidly into active service a
doubtful expedient which at best merely
/ substitutes quantity for quality. Half
! a dozen captains, Civil War veterans,
recently have voluntarily retired "a fact
considered in the foregoing statistics),
some of them attracted by the advanced
grade of rear-admiral thus acquired. But
Civil War veterans are growing few, and
this bait to withdraw will last only a
little while longer.
/ The Navy Department appears to have
no definite plan, and in fact the most
recent Interpretation of the personnel
/ law by the Aforementioned has pro-
duCed a result that is rather astonishing.
Here we are trying to find a way to
rejuvenate the grades of officers in COM
mand which will permit us to remove the
veterans of from fftv-three to sjXty-One
years of age and substitute men in the
forties in their place. The men in the
fortles must of course be experienced
naval officers of twenty-five years, and
over, standing, and the only source for
them is the list of lcutenant-commander
Yet through the present Interpretation of
probably the most imperfect statute that
was ever prccipitatcd on the navy, no
less than thirty-eight of these Compar-
atively young and highly educated
officers have been permitted voluntarily
to retire with advanced rank and with
what in their case is clear pension
averaging some tWcnty-four hundred dol
lars each year We are not removing
the superannuated, be it observed We
are removing men on whom we rely, and
indeed have educated, to replace them,
and these we are practically paying heav-
lily to go out and engage in other business.
Some of these officers thus retired may
perhaps be willing to accept active duty.
But in any event look at the possible cost
of the proceeding: about lightweight
thousand dollars year expenditure for
which no service necessarily need be
rendered, and this to continue for the
lifetimes of thirty-eight men, all, with
one exception, under fifty. And this we
are doing at a time when we are cutting
down the Naval Academy course, keep
ing young officers on practically con-
tinuOus sea duty for six and seven years
at a stretch sending battle-ships to sea
with quotas of officers numbering not
much more than half those assigned to
like vessels in other navics, imposing
upon midshipmen just out of the Acad-
envy the responsible work of lieutenants,
and incidentally wondering why we
occasionally hear that this or that officer,
heavily overworked has hopelessly broken
down or taken his own life.
Most people governed by ordinary con-
siderations of business efficiency will say
that the only way to end an evident
abuse is to end it, and deny that senti-
ment has any place in the matter. Ger
tainly if war suddenly found us in our
| rreSent status MIGHTY short work would

be overwhelming that no avoidable risk
such as here entailed should be tolerated !
1t is pure sentiment, natural enough !
which now stands in the way of the |
sweeping removals that ought to be
instituted.
These veterans are of course the sur
vivors of many. They have served
faithfully, honorably and we'll for from
thirty-tive to forty years. 1t is true
that to retire them probably means to
deny them any further opportunity for
distinction, if not, as they put 1t, to
blight their careers at the end That |
their country has a tender side for them
is indisputable, and however much crit |
icis1n may be 1eveled at the ridiculous
pensioning off of their younger brethren, |
few will cavil at whatever expenditure |
may be involved in compensating them
in a pecuniary sense for their disappoint-
ment. None of them in any wise APP
proaches senility or suffers from any dis |
aiding incapacity. As body they are
physically probably as sound as any
equal number of individuals chosen from |
any other profession which undcrgoes |
like exposure to wind and weather |
They of course have the inability which |
affects all men over fifty in greater or
less degree, namely, diminished physical |
endurance, and this under conditions |
which even in peaCc-time might well strain
the resources of men much younger. The |
main trouble with them, however, is |
not physical, but military. They are too
near the statutory retiring age. They
have not sufficient time left on the active
list to enable them to become educated |
as admirals to the extent necessary to |
insure the efficient handling of our fleets. |
There are three admirals whose attain
ments are so wcll-known, whose efficiency
is so thoroughly demonstrated, and who at
the same time are so young in thought
and habit and generally vigorous for
their years, that as a matter of simple
expcdiency they should be exempted
from the age-retiring limit. This prob
ably cannot be done directly, but it can
be effected indirectly by recreatlng the
grade of vicc-admlral which existed
during and after the Civil War and was
held in turn by Porter and Rowan We
need Vice-admirals to command respect |
lively the Atlantic, Pacific and Asiatic
fleets, and to coordinate our own grades |
with those of other nations. Our vice |
admirals, like our admira1s Farragut, |
Porter and Dewey, have always been
unlimited as to age of retirement and
hence the revival of the grade and the
appointment to it of Rear-Admirals
Evans, Goodrich and Brownson would
accomplish more than one useful pur-
pose.
Saving these three, the whole of the
present admirals, captains and most of
the commanders should be retired with
out any needless delay. The younger
officers should be promptly advanced to
the higher grades, and the three vice
admiralS set to work to break them in to
their new places. If the vacancies Gre /
ated at the bottom of the list are larger
than the Naval Academy can supply |
with sufficient CELEBRITY, they should be
filled first in the specialized branches
ordnance, engineering, etc.-wth grad
yates from the technical schools, and
in the non-speCialized branches from the

CARNIVAL AT AN END
Firemen Made a Neat Sum on
Weeks Show

Early yesterday morning the various
shows which were operated at the car
nival of the Independent Fire Com
pany pulled stakes and departed. The
owners of most of them lamented the
fact that they had scarcely made ex-
penses and would give Annapolis a
wide berth next time.
The fire company, however, came
out on top and the members OF the or
ganization are wearing broad smiles
at the success of the affair. The CON-
pany Melted, above all expenses, 1928
which is a welcome addition TO the
fund which has been set aside TO clean
up the remaining bills for the street
cleaning equipment. 1t was feared by
many that the carnival would carry a
large sum of money out of the city,
but indications are that more money
was turned loose than was carried
away.
The entertainment afforded was of
clean nature and the committee hav-
ing the affair in charge have been
complimented for its action in refus-
ing permission for shows of a doubt
full nature Most of the shows which
were part of the carnival will go TO
Alexandria for this week and next
week will be in Baltimore. 1t is said
that the show which made the most
money was the animal show and the
fire dance. Most of the other shows
barely made expenses. but this was
thought to be due largely to the fact
that there were so many repetitions,
moving pictures, palling ON the spec
tators.
