the old plucking-board system OF Great
ing promotion in the navy.
Although the details have not all been
worked out II is generally agreed that
under the new system promotion above
the grade Of lieutenant will be by selec-
ton. The officers above this grade will
be selected by a referendum vote of the
officers In the grades above the candi-
dates for promotion. For Instance, every
year when there are vacancies In the
grade of rear admiral the efficiency
record of all the captains will be sent 10
the admirals. The admirals will then
arrange the captains in a list according
TO their efficiency shown by their records
and by their general knowledge OF the
captains and send II to the Secretary Of
the Navy. The Secretary will be gov
erned in filling the vacancies in the grade
of rear admiral by the result of this vote.
Officers who pass on 10 the reserve
list by this system will probably draw
about half nay and not be called upon
