That any person maintaining a

thereof is taxed to said person in some

act of March 3, 1917, held that Army
officers on duty in Washington under

Navy.
Though the Navy Department is
concerned over the large turnover in
the enlisted personnel of the Navy,
exercise of greater care in the seleC
tion of applicants has resulted in a
marked reduction of assertions from
the naval service. approximately 2
per cent of all recruits We're lost to
the service by desertion and discharge
in 1928. which was a heavy recruiting
year. before they even arrived in the
fleet. There was also a considerable
number lost in their early period of
service af1oat. most OF which were by
desertfon. The last two years, how
ever has seen a reduction in the per-
centage of assertions occurring in the
first year Of service. which have de-
scended from - per cent in 1923 to
~ per cent In 1928. This relative
small turnover during the past two
years, 1t is pointed out in the depart
ment, Is attributed to the establish
men of the recruit division on board
ship and also to the fact that greater
thought is being devoted to the prob.
lem of newly enlisted men by the
service generally.
In the opinion Of Navy Department
authorities, there are still too many
losses among those men in the early
part OF their enlistment period a
recent survey showing that out OF 500
men selected at random enlistins
since May Is. 1925, q per cent have
been separated from the service with.
in IL months of service Rear
Admiral William r. Shoemaker. chief
Of the Bureau of Navigation. in taking
cognizance of these results holds to
the belief that there is much to be
accomplished in the problem of re.
tanning the newly enlisted men. He
has stressed the fact that the stu
alton will be increasingly important
during the next fiscal year. for Of the
$4,000 enlisted men attached to the
naval forces af1oat more than 10000
or one man out of every three. will
be serving their first year of service
Admiral Shoemaker is DESTROYS of
mpressing upon the officers Of the
Navy the great value In retaining
trained men. first. by increasing re-
enistments and, second, by reducing
the losses OF men for other causes
Should it be possible to maintain the
present re-enliStment percentages and
Gus causes, the number o. first en-
listments required in 1927 would lie
reduced from $4,000 to $4,000. while
the annual turnover would be reduced
from 80 per cent to % per cent.
The stamp of Navy Department dis
approval has been placed on the pro-
posal which provides that all Navy
and Marine Corps officers who, while
on the retired list of their respective
corps. were called back into active
