OFFICERS PROTEST
AGAINST THE CHANGE

Washington, Jan. 13.-Declaring that
the continuation Of the presidents or
der withdrawing the marines from
shipboard will seriously affect the
number of enlistments, Brigadier Cen
eral Elliott and other marine corps Of
ficers appeared before a sub committee
of the house committee on naval at
fairs today. They declared that the
comparison of target practice effici-
ency of the marines and sailors made
by Commander Sims before the COM
mittee was made hurriedly and was
unfair to the marine corps.
Cablegrams from the commanders of
the Atlantic fleet and Pacific fleet
commencing the removal of marines
from ships as tending to increase their
efficiency were submitted to the COM
mittee. Admiral Sperry, at the head
of the Atlantic fleet, in message from
Naples said
THE efficiency Of ships having no
marines has been increased. The
commander in chief and captains of
the Vermont and Connecticut consid-
er marines should be removed from all
ships.'
