1t is generally admitted, both in
the navy and in that outer circle OF
naval experts who acquired their ex-
perience on land, that it would be
well if officers attained the higher
ranks earlier in their careers and
gave more largely of their. years of
largest usefulness to the conduct Of
important commands. Just how this
is to be brought about. with no i'm
