come the next chief Of naval opera
tions, now occupied by Admiral Will
liam H Standley. who will reach the
retirement age on December Is. and
will be placed on the retired list
January /.
There is some uncertainty as to
when the change in Office may be
made. In the ordinary course of
events. Admiral Standley would leave
the Office on the date he goes on the
retired list, but there are two con-
tingencies that may prolong his pres
ent tenure of Office. The one is that.
If there Is to be a change in the
presidency in January, Admiral Stand
ley may be continued in office SO that
President Roosevelt's successor would
have ample opportunity to consider
the filling Of the place with another
officer. The other contingency is that
Mr.. Roosevelt, if reelected, may deem
it advantageous to retain Admiral
Standley beyond his retirement date.

the Navy Department September l for
duty here. They have been assigned
as follows: Lieut.. A. j. Bolton Bu-
