Veteran Navy Officers
 Protest Their Removal

The House Appropriations Commit tee considered the case of the reserve and auxiliary officers serving on ac- tive duty when it framed the appro-
 priation bill. It was determlned 10 reduce the cost of the naval estab- lishment and decided the only way to effect reductions was to cut off ot1- CTS and men. It was not authorized to make provisions for retirement or retirement pay, that being the duty and the province of the Naval Affairs Committee.
 A survey made of the officer per sonnel of the navy convinced the ap- propriations committee there were a sufficient number of regular officers in the navy to command all vessels of the reduced navy. even the coIllers, supply ships and oilers. It was on these latter vessels, auXiliaries to the battIeships that the reservists and auxiliary service men were in com mand or served as chief officers and chief engineers.
 Retain Regular Officers
 It was decided by the approprta- tions committee that the better policy was to retain in the active service as many as possible of the regular navy officers and to force removals, or sep drations from among the reserV1sts. This plan was followed, and pay authorized by the bill is restricted to regular officers of the navy with some few exceptions
 Commander William Prideaux, of the training ship Rappahannock' at San Diego, California, is one of the auxiliary officers who has written the President. He was first officer of the supply ship Zairo. which went with Admiral Dewey's fleet in to Manila Bay May l, 1899, and has since been in the naval service.

 'There are two simple means of rem edying the situation. Congress might look favorably on a plan to transfer these officers to the regular as extra numbers in grade out of the line of regular promotion and retain them for service on aux iiary ships.
