MARINES RESTORED TO SHIPS
ORDER ISSUED
AFTER CABINET MEETING.
Replaced on Same Footing as Before
the Roosevelt Order of Several
Months Ago.

After consideration at the cabinet
meeting yesterday President Taft ordered
the restoration of marines on board naval
vessels upon the same footing that they
were before the Roosevelt order. reliev-
ing all OF them from ship duty. was is
sued some months ago. Immediately
upon the PRONUNCIATION of the Roosevelt
order, which was in accordance with eff
forts that for many years had been made
by line officers of the navy, there was eX-
tensive criticism both in and out of Con-
gress. The right to issue such an order
without any special provision of law was
assumed on the ground that the President
as commander-in-chief of the army and
navy could dispose Of the naval forces
according to his Judgment. That view
was very generally combated in Con-
gress.
The committee on naval affairs of the
Senate reported amendment 10 the
last naval appropriation bill directing that
the money appropriated for the support
or the Marine Corps should not be dis
bursed unless the marines were restored
TO the ships at the ratio of per cent of
the crew. In the meantime the marines
were actually ordered off vessels in sew
eral cases. Recently the question of the
constitutional power of Congress to place
a restriction of this kind upon the Pres-
dent was referred to the Attorney Gener-
al for an opinion.
After Congress had acted an order was
issued the day before President Roosevelt
went out of office restoring the marines
to ships. but placing them under the or
ders Of the captains Of the vessel on
which they We're to serve.
Under the old order of things the ma
rines were given specific duties. One of
these was to fight certain guns of the
secondary battery. The order placing
them under the direction of the ships
captain made it possible to assign the
marines to any sort Of duty and TO de-
prive them of fighting any part of the
ships battery. In restoring the old reg
ulations the President acted upon the
recommendation of the general board of
the navy.
