ASKED FOR MARINES
Commandant Also Advises Ad-
ditions to Personnel and
Increased Pay.

Creation of the rank OF brigadier gen.
eral in the marine corps and a general
increase IN personnel of the corps. are
recommended by Mai. Gen. George Bar
nett. commandant of the corps, in his
annual report TO the Secretary OF the
Navy.
General Barnett points to the eNpedi-
ton to Mexico as indicating the neces-
sity of having officers i'm the corps CT
the rank Of hrigadier general TO COM
inand brigades on advance base duty In
foreign lands.
Because of the large number NJ junior
officers retired, General Barnett recon-
mems that in future Annapolis graduates
ho appointed to the marine corps. and
that IL This cannot be done, Congress
logislato for the appointment Of pro-
visional second lieutenants. who would
be comm ssioned and would rank on
their standing in the school OF prepsra-
ton for marine corps officers.
Urgent recommendation is also made
for Improvement i'm the various marine
corps posts, and the building of suf-
ficirat and sanitary barracks for the
corps. Facilities should also be pro-
vided. General Barnett declares. for fur
nishing amusement at the posts for the
men.
ExpedItionary work performed by the
marine corps during the past year offers
conclusive proof. in the opinion of
General Barnett. Of the necessity of in
officers and enlisted men. \ total in
crease OF S21 is asked -fofty-one Of
ficers and 77s men, with one clerk.
The general wants the sea pay Of
officers and men increased that ii will
be on a par with the increases allowed
in the army and navy for men serving
at sea or beyond the Continental limits
of the United States.
