NAVIGATION SHIFTS
EXPECTED SHORTLY
Capt. Johnston's Arrival to
Be Followed by Several
Bureau Changes.

Arrival here of Capt. Rufus T.
Johnston, now in command of the
battleship Utah, is expected to be
followed by shift in the officer per-
sonnel of the Bureau of Navigation
of the Navy Department, eliminating
in the selection of Capt Edward H
Campbell, assistant chief of the bu-
reau, as judge advocate general OF
the Navy.
Orders were issued Saturday re-
lieving Capt. Johnston and directing
him to report here for duty. Capt.
Johnston has just completed a cruise
on the Utah, which carried the Amer
lean mission, headed by Gen. John j.
Pershing, on its visit to South Amer
lean countries.
Rear Admiral Julian Latimer. at
present judge advocate general, is
due for relief soon, after his duty in
successfully getting Navy legislation
through Congress. Under the present
organization of the department this
official is expected to represent the
Secretary of the Navy at the Capitol
during the tendency of legislation,

eyes of naval officers. 1t is the belief
in the department that Capt. Camp
