NAVY OFFICERS MUST STAY
Government Contract Should
Be Kept, Says Daniels.

From The Tribune bureau
Washington. March 1.-THE secretary
Of the Navy has taken a decided stand
against accepting the designations of mid
shipment and young officers Of the navy
before they have fulfilled their contract
with the government His position is
that these Young officers have been eiu-
Gated and trained At considerable expense
10 the government. 10 the possible eAcl"-
sion OF other Young men who might nav"
devoted their life to the service. and for
those reasons Uncle Sam should receive
a permanent benefit from the expense in
volved
This policy is intended 10 imbue me
Young officers Of the navy with due
sense of their responsibilities TO the gov
eminent which has assumed their educa-
ton and training. without cost 10 them
selves. as well as 20 impress them with
the fact that as long rs their services are
satisfactory the 3 rnment has right
to retain them" said Secretary Daniels
to-day.
There have been many designations
from the navy ln the last few years
officers resigninG TO engage In private
pursuits IN which their training at the
Naval Academy and in the navy have
peculiarly fitted them 1t is TO break up
this custom that Secretary Daniels has
taken his stand.
