Injurious to Service.

Washington. Rear Admiral Brown
son Is denounced bitterly In typically
R~ooseveltian fashion by the president
In two letters to Victor II. M~ctcalf,
secretary Of the navy, which were made
public at the White House today.
10 the first Of these two letters the
president dev0tes himself 10 Admiral
BrownSon's action In retiring when
directed TO place a staff officer in com
mand Of u naval vessel because he adj
hered TO the old naval precedent that
only line officers should be in command
Of ships, He characterized Admiral
Brownson's action as "highly injurious
to the service" and adds further that
his action has undoubtedly been prciu-
diciRl 10 the interests Of the navy and
may severely impair the confidence
which is essential to securing the iegis-
lation soreIy needed,
In his lust letter the president de-
f"nds the plan of placing a physician
Connected with the medical stan IN com
mand of a hospital ship in preference to
q regular officer, and elites the fact that

these letters public just before the re-
converting Of congress Is taken as a de-
fancc Of the members Of the senate and

which he says that hospital ships of tho
navy will hereafter be ia command Of
medical officers Of the navy, unless
otherwise ordered by congress-.
