Although the latest naval appropria-
ton bill repeats section of the naval
personnel act, which established the
eplucking board" it does not change
section s, which permits voluntary re-
tirements June of each year, when
the vacancies for year have been
less than 13 above the grade of com
mander, less than 20 above lieutenant
commander, less than 90 above lieuten'
ant and less than 40 above lieutenant
Junior grade).
With prospect Of the passage of
personnel act next year which will pro.
vide for an active reserve list, it is
thought that there will be quite large
number of applications for voluntary
retirement by officers preferring the
retired list to the active reserve list.
There are indications that the secre
tary has modified his policy in respect
to permitting voluntary retirements
and has become convinced that retired
officers form a part of the reserve for
the navy.
To Restore PIucked Officers.
The amendment in the appropriation
bill providing that "plucked" officers
may be reinstated on the active list
by and with the consent of the senate
is construed to mean that the Presi-
dent is not authorized to give the re-
instated officers recess commissions
Officers upon making application for
reinstatement must take physical
and professional examination If all
should be restored there would be
eight additional rear admirals, so addi-
tionaI captains, 90 additional com
manders and 90 additional lieutenant
on the active list. There
are quite a number of lieutenants on
the retired list who would go up to

Explains For Readers of Star
Bulletin How Organization
Maintains Popularity

A few weeks ago the Star-Bulletin
published some pictures of the list In.
fantry, National Guard of New York
The pictures and the article attracted
the attention of the New York guard
authorities and the result is the fol-
lowing letter from Capt. Albert T.
Rich of the list Infantry. He is also
1st lieutenant of the Ord q. s. Infan-
try, and inspector-instructor of the
New York National Guard:
Company F, list Infantry, N. G. N. Y.
april 26. 1915.
Editor Honolulu Star-BuIletin.
Sir: / have at nand your paper of
the Both of March in which several
pictures of Company F. list Infantry.
N. G. N. Y, are shown.
This company was reorganized, re-
cruited and trained under the same re-
'quirements as the regular army.
Company F, list Infantry, on October
%, 1914, was disbanded and the Off
GERS and men of same transferred to
Companies c and l. tn order that the
new company to !. be. known as. the

for this company are limited to young
men not now in the service, as it is
not desired to draw on existing organ
izations for recruits but to secure the
enlistment of young men that have
not received any military training.
The personnel is required to drill
three times a week, Monday, Thurs
day and Friday, and they will receive
one days pay per week, on the same
basis that they are allowed pay when
in camp. The pay is as follows:
list sergeant and quartermaster.
sergeant, 81. .s"
"Sergeants and cooks, $3.50.
"Corporals and Art, $1.40.
"Privates, S1.25.
This does not appear much, but
when you realize that the men receive
for their services whereas
the rest of the national guard receive
nothing, the attraction towards the
company is to be appreciated. The
men draw on an average Of five to six
days pay per month. 1t is great il.
lustration of what the national guard
can do if they are paid for their SER
vices when it is shown by records that
there has been nearly 500 applicants
for enlistment in this company since
November 13, 1914.

The Marquise d'Esclignac raised her
lorgnon and said:

about Monsieur de Sabron? See. he Is

was a great lady and stood her ground.
