der the present law, after 1910 the
retirementS OF entire classes in the
lieutenant commanders grade would
hold the line strength to approximately
$500 with no further increase until
1919. Under the personnel proposal.
however, 1t would continue to increase
and reach approximately $500 in l945.
These increases would affect the pro-
motion schedule in and after 1893 so
that promotion to rear admiral would
be advanced an increasing fraction of q
year up to the class of 1906. For pro-
motion to captain. all classes would in
general be guaranteed more promotions
and fewer enforced retirementS. For
promotion to commander, there would
be somewhat larger ratio of promo
tions to retirements, but no advance
ment in time of promotion. In con-
clusion, the proposed personnel sched-
ule would prevent the wholesale re-
tirement Of entire classes: it would ex-
pedite promotion to the grade of COM
mander and lieutenant commander; it
would tend to equalize percentages of
selection and enforced retirement in
classes Of different sizes; it would pro-
tect officers from enforced retirement
because Of age-in-grade before they
have had chance at selection, and it
would reduce the loss of Naval Acad-
envy graduates who may not be COM
miSsioned because of overf1lling the
Navy on graduation day.
Adoption has been made by the Navy
Department of new policy designed to
maintain the perS onnel of the Supply
Corps of the Navy. Under the new
policy, 1t is proposed that not less than
10 new officers be appointed to that
corps each year and that the number
to be appointed be designated by Octo-
Der OF each year. From now on the
number Of officers to be allotted for
appointment in that corps from the
graduating class of the Naval Academy
will be determined by November / of
each year and that application for
transfer to that corps be filed by mid
shipmen prior to February /. In ad-
dition to the number of midshipmen to
be appointed ensigns in the Supply
Corps upon graduation and the number
of pay clerks or chief pay clerks to be
appointed, the remaining vacancies as
determined by the needs of the Supply
Corps will be filled by the appointment
of limited number of reserve officers
and of graduating members of the Re-
serve Officers Training Corps The
proposed appointments from reserve
officers and members of the Reserve
Officers' Training Corps Is new prop
osition, and this source of officers for
the Supply Corps will be watched with
great deal of interest.

missioned until the Spring, at which
time they will complete their year Of
interneship training in an Army hos
pital.
At least two of the branches of the
war Department, 1t is understood, favor
the adoption of the rayon hat cord as
regulation equipment. AS the result
OF exhaustive tests conducted by the
18th Service Company at Fort Benning,
Ga, the chief of Infantry recommended
TO the War Department that this type
OF hat cord be adopted for standard
issue equipment. The exhaustive tests
that have been conducted conclusively
demonstrate beyond all question that
the rayon hat cord retains It's luster,
the wear and tear of washing and
cleaning much better than the present
cord, and is much less expensive.
At the present rate for warrant Of
ficers of the Regular Army, from eight
to 10: years will elapse before the
authorized strength of 600 warrant Of
ficers for the Regular Army will be
reached. AS Of october 81, 1928, there
were total of 1,181 warrant officers in
service, and it will be seen that at the
present attrition rate of per cent a
year, full decade will probably pass
before the authorized figure of 500 will
be reached. AS the years 60 by. now
ever, the percentage of retirements will
probably increase. due to the officers of
this group attaining the retirement age
limit OF 81 years, but even with this
there will be number of years before
any new warrant officer appointments
will be made.

Navy.

Unless a material change in the naval
policy and naval strength of the United
States is brought about by future dis
armament conferences, it is declared.
the increasing needs of the surface
Navy and of the aviation arm will re-
suit in an increase in the authorized
strength of the line. Assuming that
this increase would be provided by
placing the Naval Academy on a five
appointment basis Git is four at the
present time), a net. gain of about ITO
per year would be obtained after 1882,
and by 1910 the increased line would
therefore. be approximately $500. In
