commended by the board would be fol
S rear admiral, 10 for captain and a
| for commander. Should the pending
line personnel bill be enacted into law
in its present form, the maximum
number of selections would be approx
mately Z for rear admiral, % for cap
tain and IS for commander. The large
number for commander would be due
to the increase In that grade under the
bill. The additional selections for rear
admiral and captain would not repre-
sent any increase or advance of pro-
motion, but only larger promotion list
awaiting vacancies.
There are several reasons why the
Navy Department has decided to con-
vene the selection board next May.
First, the battle fleet viii be en- route
June, and none of the flag officers at
tached to that fleet then would be con-
veniently available for duty as members
of the board, whereas the feet is sched-
uled to be at New York from May Z
to 26, during which period they easily
would be available as members of the
board. Another reason, and a most i'm
portant one, is that an early announce
ment of the selections will enable the
Bureau Of Navigation well in advance to
adjust its slate of many changes to be
made during the Summer. This will
eliminate the necessity Of issuing emer-
gency and Short-notice orders depend
ent upon selection and nop-seiection
for promotion.
It is estimated in the Navy Depart
ment that about IS more midshtpmen
will graduate next June than can be
given commissions in the line and Pay
Corps of the Navy and in the Marine
Corps. This will be the first time that
there has been an excess Of graduates
since 1891, when about five midshipmen
were discharged upon graduation. Con-
partment to the retention of the excess
enough vacancies will occur before next
the graduates.
Capt. william P. Robert &C. CO. has
been selected for duty as assistant to
the chief Of the Bureau Of Construction
and Repair, to I'LL the vacancy resulting
from the recent appointment of Rear
Admiral George H. Rock, as chief con-
structor of the Navy and chief of that
bureau. Capt. Robert will be detached,
about January 6, from duty In Philadel-
phia as experimenting constructor at
the ONCE Of the Marine Engineering
Corporation. and he will then proceed
to Washington for his new duties. That
corporation was established to prepare
detailed plans for light cruisers IS to
81, inclusive. The work Is now nearing
completion and Capt. Roberts assist
ants will carry on the duties incident to
closing out the functions Of the draft
ing ohice.

POLAND TRIES TO
UNTANGLE CHAOTIC
LAWS ON DIVORCE

WARSAW, April q, P-Po-
lands marriage and divorce laws
are in a state of chaos for which
the government is seeking an or
derly solution. A new marriage code
is being drafted by an eminent
Warsaw attorney.
Before the World War divorces
were almost unknown in Poland,
for most of the population was OF
the Catholic faith and adhered to
the doctrine of indisSolubility OF
marriage But the civil confusion
produced by the reclamation of the
provinces which had been under
German, Austrian and Russian
rule, has produced a condition in
which many persons moving from
one part of poland to another are
uncertain whether they are legally
married
Some unhappy marriages are re-
solved by obtaining annulment from
the Catholic church. Others, un-
able to obtain release this way,
change their church affiliation The
increased use of both means adds
to the general confusion.
In the part of Poland which was
formerly Russian, marriages are ra-
titled solely by the churches, there
being no civil ceremony. The Ro-
man Catholic, the Orthodox, and
the Protestant churches have
power to dissolve marriages.
Perhaps the most unsatisfactory
feature of the marriage chaos is
the possibility in Russian Poland
for one party to the marriage to
obtain a dissolution without the
knowledge of the partner. For eX-
ample, if a Catholic marrieS q
Protestant in any non-Catholic
church, the Catholic consiStory
treats such a union as void and
sometimes grants annulment to the
Catholic spouse without bringing
the matter to the attention of the
non Catholic husband or wife.
There have been instances where
Catholic husbands have abandoned
Protestant wives, married again,
and then been compelled by the
courts to pay alimony to the first
partner.
