and Still Fit for Active
Duty.

Washington, Dec. 26.-AdmiraI George
Dewey is 20 years old today. He is in
splendid health and robust in physique.
Among his callers were a number of
those who attended the admiraPs birth
day dinner last week, which was ad-
vanced in date because President
Roosevelt expected TO be in Pine Knot,
Va, tonight. These circumstances re-
called a happy toast which the presi-
dent proposed when they drank to the
health of the admiral. It was as fol-
lows:
ITO the man who has done more for
and reflected greater glory on America
than any other man now living"
The toast net with hearty response
from those surrounding the admiral s
table.
At the meeting of the Naval Relief
association, the admiral was presented
with two silver ink wells. The health
of the admiral was drunk from a de-
canter, containing Madeira wine of the
vintage of 1S47. The decanter was for
meriy the property of George Wash
ington. and Surgeon General Van Rev
pen. who made the presentation. said
it was eminently fitting that the health
of "the other George. whom we all
loved" should be drunk from the same
decanter.

Relief was twofold.
In the first place, like every line
officer, he believed that the subordina-
ton of any line officer, no matter how
low his grade, to a staff officer on ship
board, was bad policy and subversive
of naval discipline. But stronger OBJ
lection in his mind was that the pro-
posed action was clearly illegal, mas
much as 1t is forbidden by law or ma
val regulation to assign a staff officer
to command ships. 1t is only fair &c
the staff side to state that this is de-
batable ground and that it would not
be difficult to construe the naval laws
and regulations in either way. So il Is

Ject comes before congress for consid

Brownson Is Out.
There were no developments today In

BITTER WAR BETWEEN STAFF
AND LINE.

Washington. Dec. 26.-Not since the
day preceding the passage of the per-
sonnet law ten years ago has the feel
ing between line and staff of the navy
been so acute as it is today as the re-
suit of a refusal of Admiral Brownson
to transmit orders from his superior
officer, the president of the United
States, assigning a naval surgeon TO
command a vessel in the navy. In the
case of the personnel act, it was Mr..
Roosevelt, then assistant secretary of
the navy, who acted the part of paci-
ficator and succeeded in bringing the
two warning factions together in sup
port of the legislation which, for de-
cade past, though a makeshift, has
served to maintain peace between the
Two factions in the navy.

The statement was submitted to the
president, and Notwithstanding the

clearly impossible for Admiral Brown
