VICE ADMIRAI.s.

Tie average layman docs not know
what tho difference is between a vice
admiral aud any other kind. and there
viii be little popular interest IN the
proposal TO revive tho office. which
he's hecn allowed to become absnletc
In this country. IT appears, however.
hat there are occasions when rank
makes u decided difference.
II vice admiral has a rank. of
ioirse. one grade higher than that of
rear admiral which latter Office cor
responds roughly to tho rank of ms
.ior general in tho army. IIishcr
rank does not come in tho regular
order of promotion according to our
present usage . There AFRO occasions,
such as during one of tho chinese out
breaks some years ago, when, for tho
maintenance of order and tho protcc.
Ion of life and property, tho forces
Of all civilized powers happening to
De In the vicinity OF the trouble unite
and art under one command. That
happened in the Chinese affair, aud
At may happen at amy time in Mex
leo. The United States has a con-
siderable force off the Mexican coast,
waiting for whatever may happen.
This country, because it is Mcxico's
nearest netshbor. and because Of the
predonlinence OF our interests on this
continent, was naturally more CLOSE
ly related to the situation down there
than is any other power. But, nm
less rank were waived, it would not
he q United States commander who
would have charge of an interna-
tional force called ia preserve order
in Mexico. We have captains and
rear admirals. but no vice admiral,
and other nations have vice adrnirals
on the job. The practice is. in such
eases, for the officer OF highest rank
to take charge. and our force would
be commanded by a vice admiral from
some other country. Hence the sug-
gestion that VIC have a few vice adj
mirals to be on a par with the other
nations in the matter OF rank.
In actual fact. in the Mexican at
fair. it Is unlikely that, regardless of
rank, an American officer would COM
mand. Some time g the senior
British officer on the Mexican station
voluntarily waived his superior rank,
and expressed his intention OF sorv-
ing under the American admiral if
service became necessary. Gnlitc
