To fill the vacancy created by the
death of Capt. John T. Tompkins at
Balboa, Canal Zone, March 10, the
prevailing indications point TO the as
signment of Capt. Ridley Mclean,
now on duty as director Of commune
cations in the Navy Department, as
commander of the submarine divisions
of the battle fleet. In all probability
Capt. Mclean will not assume his new
duties with the submarine divisions
until after the battle fleet comes north
from West Indian waters. His duties
in the communications office will prob
ably be taken over by Capt Thomas
r. Craven, who is now on duty in
