Capt. John Downes, o. g. NJ, upon
the occasion Of his relief as director
Of the Naval Reserve division In the
Navy Department, said that he wished
to express to the individual mem
bers Of the Naval Reserve his deep
feeling Of gratitude for the loyal and
efficient assistance given him IN
maintaining the Reserve during Q
very trying crisis. He Is most appre-
ciative Of this assistance, and wishes
to say that 1t has been an inspiration
to him to put forth his best efforts
toward maintaining the Reserve and
increasing its efficiency. He sim
cerely hopes that the coming year
will bring q better recognition on
the part Of Congress and the people
Of the great necessity to the national
defense Of this fine organization.
The Navy Department announced
that a recent survey by the Bureau
OF Navigation Of Reserve officers en-
rolled in correspondence courses shows
that large percentage Of feet ON
GERS are enrolled in those courses, but
in some districts only a very small
percentage Of volunteer and merchant
marine officers are enrolled. This
failure to participate In these courses
indicates to the bureau lack Of In
terest on the part Of q large number
OF officers In training themselves IN

urges all officers to obtain a list Of
courses available from their COM
mandants in order that they may
pick out subject.

A policy established by the War De-
partment q year ago, requiring that
officers detailed or assigned to another
arm or service, except officers detailed
to the General staff Corps or Air
Corps, will not be returned from such
detail or assignment during the 1888
and 1884 fiscal years, unless such re-
hefs were necessary In the public in

Navy.
With tho arrival In Washington
within the next few days Of Capt.
David Potter Is. c., q. 8. N, who
will be in charge Of the Navy Supply
Corps School at the Philadelphia
Navy Yard, final decision as to details
Of the curriculum and faculty will
soon be made. In view Of the re-
Gently adopted policy Of reducing the
number Of permanent officers of the
Supply Corps and assigning line off,
GERS to Supply Corps duty, the origi-
nal Intention Of sending some Supply
Corps officers to the first course Of
the school has been abandoned. The
course Of instruction will have to be
adjusted accordingly. It Is the inten-
ton to assign about IS line officers Of
not less than three years service to
the school this year. The allowance
Of permanent ofdcers in the Supply
Corps has been 556, and the new
policy eventually will effect q reduc-
ton to 440. At present the perma-
nent strength is 535, with a prospect
that additional vacancies will occur
during the next few months.
Favorable consideration is being
given to the proposal that would
authorize the appointment as en-
signs in the Navy all midshipmen
who hereafter graduate from the
Naval Academy and all of those mem
bers Of the class Of 1888 who we're
not commissioned, but who received
a certificate Of graduation and
honorable discharge. The number Of
line officers required for the COM
plement Of the ships now operating
Is $500. Since the act Of May g.,
1882, seven ships have been COM
pleted, and SIS more are either
building or appropriated for, max
ing q total Of 81 new ships that
will be completed by 1898. OF these
81 ships, 81 are additions to the
Navy which will require additional
officer personnel. Therefore, the
number Of line officers required to
fill the compliments Of ships In COM
mission by 1888 will be 6,748 or l 1,249
more officers than the number now
authorized by law.
Under the act Of May 6, 1892, with
the number of appointments now per-
mitted, it Is estimated that the line
officer strength in 1888 will be 5,68l
or 1,067 under the number con-
sidered necessary.
