Officers concerned, believe. however that at the present rate of demobiliza- ton the numerical strength of the navy will be well below the 250,0O mark set by the secretary. at the end of hte fiscal year, July l.
 On May 1, there were 2S5,0o0 off. CTS and enlisted men in the service. a reduction since November II of 245,0O0. The figure set for the re- duced strength of the navy in the Senate naval deficiency bill of the last Congress was 250.oo0 and in the House bill the number was placed at 225,000. Based on a total strength Of 2500O0 men, naval officials are con- fronted with the necessity for reduc. ing the officer personnel from more than 10000 now on duty to less than 10000 by July 1,
 The question of adjusting the rank of officers of the regular navy on the basis of the peace time strength Is an- other puzzle. To meet the rapid in crease of the naval establishment during the war practically all of the regular officers were temporarily pro- moteiii one or more grades. Getting the navy back to a peace basis means the majority of these officers must be returned to their former rank
 While 8 majority of the line of ficers are said to favor a perman- ent peace strength much in excess of the authorized 1s7,O00 men, there is nothing to indicate Secretary Daniels will ask Congress to increase this fig ure and at a recent conference with his advisors the secretary is reported to have insisted that the reduction must be carried out as planned.
