NAVY.

Though sufficient time has not
elapsed for the formation of thought
full service conclusions on the newly
drafted Navy line personnel legisla-
ton, there has been considerable con-
lecture in naval circles over the fail
ure to limit service in the grade of
rear admiral to seven years, to corre-
spond with the period allotted to the
other grades. Taking the average
graduation age Of midshipmen as %
years, an officer serving in the grades
from ensign to captain would be re-
quired to serve 35 years. This would
bring him to the grade Of rear admiral
at 81, which would leave him seven
years to serve in this grade until he
reached the age Of GA years, upon the
attainment of which he would be
placed on the retired list Of the Navy.
The 20-year-old graduate would not
serve less than nine years as a rear
admiral, while midshipmen graduating
from the academy at "a might serve
less than five years as rear admiral.
With seven years as rear admiral, 1t Is
pointed out, in the interest OF uni
formity in all grades, except in those
instances where the retiring age of

81 years occurs, the retirement age
will seldom be less than 81 years.
Greater opportunity for the advance
ment of captains before their separa-
| ton from the active list of the Navy
! would ensue, and it's influence would
| be felt through all the grades, giving
officers an even chance for advance
ment, of wh>>n they would be deprived
without me seven-year limitation in
the hi%nest grade.
With respect to selection in the
| iunior grades, which is contemplated
| tn extend to junior lieutenantS, it
Is believed that the advancement will
! be similar to the rule OF seniority.
This will mean, 1t was explained, that
those at the bottom of the largest
| Naval Academy classes, for whom
| there may not be sufficient vacancies
in the next higher grade. will be sub
| ject to the provision directing trans
fer for length of service. Considerable
anxiety has manifested itself in this
connection, but 1t is expected that as
surance of this situation will relieve
| this feeling of uncertainty in anticipa-
| ton of the operation of this legislation
should it be enacted into law. What
| has been observed up to the present
time, appears to have diminished the
disadvantages of and objections to
| drastic promotion by selection.
Preparation is now being made in
the Navy Department of draft or
legislation which is designed to give
additional pay to those enlisted men
of the Navy serving on submarines.
| Considerable comment has been heard
| for some time In naval circles on this
proposal, it being pointed out by those
favoring this increase in pay for sub
marine duty that it is equally exact
ing, hazardous, and uncomfortable as
the duties required by the Air Service.
the military-naval personnel OF which
receive flying, pay providing they com.
ply with those requirements which
entitle them to receive this pay.
According to the schedule of com
pensation which is being worked out
in the department, duty on seagoing
submarines will entitle those OF the en-
listed personnel serving aboard $50
per month additional; or $25 for those
qualified and $40 for those unqualified,

on short base submarines. This will
eliminate the present schedule OF pay,

titles those engaged on this duty to

which, it is pointed out. actually re-
Stricts the compensation to an average
of $40 or $12 per month. Submerg-
ence is not now regarded as the decid'
ing or governing factor in special sub
marine pay. Especially is this so
viewed when the subsea craft are
operating with the fleet during ma
neuvers and where there is scant cp-
portunity afforded for Submergence.
The Bureau of Medicine and Surgery,
Navy Department, has recommended
the transfer of Lieut.. Comdr. John g.
Ziegler, Marine Corps, from the naval
station at Guam to the Naval Hospl-
tai, Washington, d. c., and also that
of Capt Adrian r.. Alfred, Marine
Corps, from the navy yard, Norfolk,

tion. which has been brought to the
attention Of the War Department a
number of times by the chief of Air
Service, is the main cause of the dis
satisfaction and discomfort which now
exists among the commissioned person
mel Of the ArmY'S airmen. 1t was
stated in the Shanks board TO the War
Department that the Air Service is
the only branch or arm of the service
which is adversely affected as a corps
by the promotion situation" and in
The deliberations of the Woodward
board. it was recommended that "a
change of the promotion list positions
of Air Service officers by crediting
them with all of their candidate serv-
ice in excess of 80 days" be made.
1t must not be construed, however,
that the War Department has turned
deaf ears to all of these recommenda-
tions. On numerous occasions, both

tees and in the department, Secretary
Davis and other War Department rep

Clared that they would like to see
them corrected, provided that the cor

been due TO normal causes. 1t is con-
tended in certain quarters that the
casualties sustained by the Air Serv-
ice have, in 2 cases out of 10, created
the vacancies to which the remainder
of the Regular Army have been pro-
NOTED. From similar sources, 1t was
insisted that the creation of sin
gle list for the Air Service would not
only correct the injustices done to the
Junior airmen, but that a separate
promotion list could be so prepared
that 1t would not transfer the discon-
tent. which now exists in the Air Serv-
ice to any other group of officers. Con-
siderable doubt is expressed in certain
department circles that such a list could
be prepared which would not transfer
this satisfaction to another group
of officers 1t being said time and time
again that the creation of separate
system of promotion for Air Service
officers. which would at the same time
provide equitable promotion for the
entire Regular Army, is impossible. SO
many boards have been appointed to
study This question that the service
has ceased keeping an account of them.
