Jones, commander-in-chief of the At- lantic fleet, has been chosen captain of the presidential yacht Mayflower, it was announced today by Secretary Denby, following a visit of Introduction | to President Harding. ‘Commander Andrews has been se- lected for advancement to the rank of captain, and within a few months, it was sald by naval officials, the officer, who has drawn one of the prizes of naval details, will be made captain.! Commander Andrews was born in j Texas in 1879 and appointed (o the Naval Academy in 1897, graduating therefrom in 1901. He has had an ali- around experience through the fleet, as instructor at the Naval Academy and for about a year has been on the staft of Admiral Jones. During the war he was navigator on the battieship Oklahoma and executive officer on the battleship Mississippi, seeing active duty. 3 His service following graduation from the academy included duty on the cruiser Minneapolis. the cruiser Chat- tanooga, the gunboats Dolphin and Villalobos. His last detail was in com- mand of the Promethus. Commander Andrews is especially well qualified through his wide experi- ence for his new post and will be at home on the Mayflower, because dur- ing the administration’ of President Taft in 1910 and 1911 he was executive officer of the Mavflower. He will succeed Capt. Ralston S. Holmes, serv- ing as commander of the Mayflower and naval aide to the President.
