said in a letter to the board: "The
project has my hearty Endorsement aS
it cannot fail to be valuable asset in
promoting the physical fitness and the
morale of officers. Your club will pro-
vide facilities which, I believe, are abb
solutely needed for officers and their
families stationed in this city, and
which will be within the means Of our
junior officers.
"I cannot emphasize too strongly the
advantages that accrue to all the Serv-
ices by encouraging the championships
and healthy rivalries that grow out OF
participation in outdoor sports, not
alone between the Regular officers OF
the three services, but also between the
Reserves. Such acquaintance promotes
that spirit of understanding and CO.
operation so necessary to the success
of our national defense"
Admiral E. w. Eberle, U. S. NJ, chief
of naval operations, wrote to the board:
"The physical fitness of officers of the
services is of paramount Importance,
and the provision of such facilities at
a moderate cost will unquestionably do
much to increase the physical well be-
ing and the happiness of the officers
and their families"
Mai. Gen. John A. Lejeune, COM
mandant of the Marine Corps, In let
ter to the board wrote: MY interest in

one, but has been largely due to my
conviction that a country club, eco

selected by the 1927 selection board for
the grade of rear admiral all were pro-

have to select for the vacancy then
occurring and those to result from the
retirement Of Rear Admiral Josiah S.
Mexican on May 80. 1928: Rear Admiral
Robert E. Coontz on June IL. 1928 and
Rear Admiral Edward w. Eberle on
August II. 1928.
Only two officers Comdrs. John H
Newton and Albert Norris additional
number engineerl. remain unpromoted
from the list of officers selected for the
grade of captain last year. The former
officer will become due for promotion
on May 80. upon the retirement Of Rear
Admiral Mexican. but there is no pro-
Spective vacancy for Comdr. Norris be-
fore the convening of the next selec-
ton board. Due to the fact that Lieut..
Comor. Tracy L. McCauley, the senior
of those selected for promotion to COM
mander in 1927, failed to qualify In his
physical examination, he was placed on
the rertired list of the Navy as OF
April 30, 1928. The retirement Of Lieut..

junior TO him selected in 1927 to be ad-
vanced in dates of commissions as COM
mander. and Lieut.. Comdr. Alger H
Dresel becomes due for promotion as
of February IS. 1928 Vacancies in the
grade of commander will result from
the retirement of Comdr. Harold W.
Boynton on May Is. on account OF
physical disability. and of Rear Ad-
miral Mexican on May 80 and Lieut..
Comdrs Slingluff and Theodore II
Winter will become due for promotion,
respectively. on those dates, This win
leave Lieut. ComdrS. Clifford e. Van
Hook. Archibald M, Gleason, Joseph A.
Murphy and James r, Barry on the
list of the 1927 selectees without va
cancieS for them in prospect In the
grade of commander, and they will be
considered by the 1928 selection board
unless unexpected vacancies occur in
the meantime.
In the staff corps promotions to Sc
lection grades will depend entirely upon
how far down on the lists the line
selection board goes in recommending
officers fol- advancement. Based on the
