Beginning with the issue of 1925, Which is now due to be published, the United States Nautical Almanac and the corresponding publications in other countries ara going to undergo a great change in the interest of safety at sea, this change being effected by agreement of the United States, England and France.

To make this change the burden of the work will fall on the United States hydrographic office.
