view with Assistant Secretary New
berry, in which he was quoted as say
ing swimming test may be demand
ed Of officers just as horseback ride
has been ordered to test horseman-
ship of army officers. Newberry' S
idea is to have captains and admirals
dive from shore and swim to their
ships. The navy officers say such a
test would not have half the terrors
for them that the horseback ride has
for the army officers, some of whom
are fearful lest they be retired after
thir fly at a fifteen mile ride. Rear
Admiral Cowles said he knew but one
navy officer in all his acquaintance
who could not swim. All Annapolis
graduates are swimmers.

quantity of oil which will be required
for the twelve months Of the next
fiscal year. The complaints made by
naval engineers who had to use the
Dill on board ships, on one hand, and
the protests made Of discrimination
and unfair treatment on the part OF
the lowest bidders and contractors,
one the other hand, kept the navy de-
