DETACHED FROM SCHOOLSHIPS.-To-day
naval orders include the detachment of three COM
manders the retired list from command of state
/ nautical scholarships. They G. c. Hanus~ from
the New York schoolship St Mary's; w F. Low,
from the Massachusetts schoolship Enterprise, and
c. n. Atwater from the Pennsylvania nautical
school and from the command of the schooishlp
Saratoga. These detachments are in accordance
with the policy of the Navy Department not to
keep officers on the retired list active duty on
full pay any than is absolutely necessary.
No objection will be interposed to their obtaining
leave of absence while the retired list and
again taking similar duties with the states. They
paid for their work in connection with the
nautical schools by the respective states.
NAVAL RECRUITING CHANGES-A central
navy recruiting station is to be opened at New
Orleans. That at Memphis and the recruiting Of
flee at Little Rock, Ark, to be closed. The
results of the operations of the stations at Mem
phis were not as satisfactory had been ex-
pected. The office Nashville Tenn, is TO be
placed under the recruiting station at Chattanooga
The naval recruiting officers reported satisfactory
results at various places Notwithstanding the re-
stricon which is imposed by law requiring certif1-
Gates of birth something else equally authentic
concerning the age of the applicants. This has
been serious handicap in naval recruiting.
ANOTHER TRIAL FOR NEW CRUISER
Members of the naval board which conducted the
trial of the North Carolina the run from Rock
land Me, TO Newport News. Va, arrived in Wash
ington to-day and generally expressed confidence
in the ability of the contractors TO develop the
necessary twenty-two-knot speed another trial.
The fact that the big cruiser fell short of the con-
tract requirement by only one-tenth of a knot
under conditions far from favorable Is the basis
for this belief. Another trial of the North Caro-
lima viii be made Saturday. Poor coal and
inexperienced fremen and. above all things. the
naval requirement for the first time that during the
trial each f1reroom should be completely sealed
from the others and from the open air, the
assigned by the builders for the failure of the
ship the first trial, the Navy Department has
been asked to suspend the rule to the closed
freroom, which prevented proper supervision of the
stokers by the engineers in charge.
