NAVY OFFICERS WARNED.
Must Not Allow Domestic Affairs 10
Interfere with Duty.

WASHINGTON, Jan I'm order
that domestic affairs may not interfere
with the attention of naval officers to
their oihcitd c,rties1 TSecresaryi Dnlihis has
forbidden officers establishing their fam
lies in the immediate vicinity Of the
ships on which they are serving. The pro
hibition Is carried in a general order
which says:
The attention Of all officers OF the ma
Wy and marine corps is directed to the
fact that, due to the very large number
OF vessels to be commissioned in the neal
future, and to the limited number of Of
ticers available, it becomes absolutely
necessary for every officer to devote his
entire time and attention to the prepare
ton of every element Of the fleet meet
ing the enemy
In order that there may be no dis
traction from this duty, neither officers
nor men should attempt to have then
families in the immediate vicinity OF the
vessels upon which they are serving, par
ticularly in the vicinity OF fleet bases
and the department looks with decided
disapproval upon such procedure.
