NAVAL RETIREMENTS.- Off
GERS are peculiarly interested this year in
the results of the naval plucking board,

Tuesday. II is expected that the maxi

tions Tor retirement received from OFF,
GERS who desire TO be voluntarily retired.
There are no less than twenty Of these
applications most OF them from officers
of the grade Of lieutenant commander.
In previous years officers with that rank
were not retired, and the recommendation
To adopt this rule was made 70 Secretary
Daniels some days ago, but he preferred
to defer action in the matter until the
Iay before the plucking board should
finally meet
An impression prevails that 4lr. Daniels
does not intend to allow any officers vol
unfairly 10 retire this year. IL Is SUI

there are amy applications foi retirement.

or grade. The withdrawal OF this induce
ment 10 retire was regarded as the surest
means Of discouragins officers from Seek
ing retirement but the law has not
worked ont that way.
More officers have applied FOR retire
ment this year than ever before. This
Is attributable 70 the impression that re-
tircment 10y the plucking board reflects
in some degree upon the officer thus
separated from the active service.
II f. that phase of the situation which is
regarded as iustfyius further amend

50 much opposition TO the abandonment
Of this system. however. and 50 much
support OF it i'm Congress that il is likely
TO be continued indefinitely. especially
now that officers are not retired with the
next higher grade The announcement of
rctlrements on the application of officers
will be made in all probability ON Mon
day to be followed the next day by an

In letter to stockholders the Utah Sc

been merged into the Utah Power and

the Utah company and its subsidiaries
covers Southeastern Idaho and Northern
Utah and through subsidiary company
II section i'm Western Colorado Within the
territory covered are some thirty cites
and towns and numerous rural districts
having an aggregate population of 1900
including salt Lake CRY, al OF which
are served ty the Utah Power and Light
Company directly OF through the sale Of

The electric business IN these suhstan-
tial and growing communities has here
tofore received but little attention. and
under the present management il is al
ready evident that steady increase and
ultimately large volume Of both gross
and net earnings Will be- realized.
Since the consolidation Of the seventeen
hydro-electric properties which comprise
this system, having a total installed ca
pacity Of Jj,7Op horsepower there have
been acquired three additional properties
with an aggregate Of lslcO hOrscpowcr.
There is now being constructed a 2'.2,p-

say:
That is to say. the net efluX OF silver
rupees from the Indian treasury i'm the
first five and one-half months of 1912 was
SSO.iacs while during these months OF the
present year there was actually an influx
of 80 laos. and there was an influx OF LOO
lacs Of gold I'm the former compared with
an efflux of 2l0 lacs i'm the latter period.
The natural inference from the above Is
that the chances are against the Indian
government operating in the market III
the immediate future.
40 surprise. therefore, need be ret
that dealers fail to regard the market as
healthy. when practically the only sup
port comes from speculative quarters, for
in the present circumstances, it is prob
ably given not so much in view Of favor
able prospects as for the purpose Of pre-
serving the nominal value Of the spec
