.IANE'' AND "sTAFtp' DEFINED
What the Terms Mean as to Duties
MetcaIf Not Talking.

What the Terms Mean as to Duties
MetcaIf Not Talking.
AS this whole controversy threatens
to occupy the attention of the public
for some time to come, and perhaps
to figure to some extent in the proceed
ings Of congress, it may be proper to
state the difference between the line
and the staff, about which the public
mind is more or less confused. IN
brief. it may be said that line Of
ficcr is one whose sole duty is to fight
the ship. while the staff officer is one
WHO either provides the means for the
line officer to do so or acts under his
direction in carrying out his general
orders.
Thus. the engineer, when of the
staff, looks closely after the machin-
cry and starts and stops it when called
upon to do so by the line officer; he
has nothing to say as to where the
ship shall go or at what speed or when
it shall move. Likewise the surgeons
aboard ship look after the health of
the crew in zine of peace and treat
their wounds in time of war. but they
have nothing TO do with the move
ments OF the ship to which they are
attached. and the same rule applies to
the paymaster and to the constructor
who builds tie ship navigated by the
line officer.
1t has developed that a year ago
when the Relief was put into commits
sion, the decision was reached to as
sign a naval surgeon to command the
vesSe. in the event that it We're manned
with a merchant crew ana master But
in the event that the ship was manned
with a naval crew then naval Officer
of the line would be assigned to tbs
command. \ naval surgeon in com
mand would have absolute charge, jus
rs a physician would exercise super
vision Of 4 hospital on land. without
however. interfering with the work o.
navigating the vessel. The Relief il
expected to have civilian master ans
crew.
Secretary Metcalf again declined t
enter into any discussion Of the is
sues which prompted Admiral Brown
sons resignation as chief OF the navi
cation bureau. ana declared he knew
nothing about the statement of Sur
geon General Rixey that the internal
administration of the bureau Of medi
cine and surgery had been interferet
with by the bureau Of navigation.

rank of officers or positions in the

''the rank Of" To this provision the
following important qualification was
attached: 'Kut officers whose rank is
so defined shall not be entitled. in

that no surgeon or engineer Gf there
