AGlance at Current Topics and Events

While this makes no requirement of
the duty to which the officers may be
assigned, it is quite evident to their
associates of the line that these former
engineers are preparing to become eligi-
bic as commandants Of navy yards. to
which duty they may not nov be de-
tailed.
All officers in this class, twenty in
number, are real admirals or senior
captains, there being five in the former
grade. In due time ut least two Of
them will become senior in the grade
of e admiral. At present it is diff
cult to find duty on shore common
surate with their rank. One of these
officers is engineer in chief Of the navy,
another is director Of navy yards and
Il third is head of the inspection board,
and all are experienced engineers Of
