On or about August 15 the evacua- tion of the marines and their equip- ment from Santo Domingo wiil hay been completed. Of the 1,800 marin stationed there, about 300 are to go {o Guantanamo, about 500 to San Diego and the remainder tn Quantico. The aviation detachment, ~composed about 100 men. with 15 planes g0 to San Diego. In addition portable buildings. which are to moved to Guantananmo, there is a quantity of provisions and ammuni- tion which will be transferred from Santo Domingo and Puerto Plata to Port au Prince. In addition to the enlisted personnel and equipment of | the marine force, officers and their families will also be moved at the same time. ¥ The four vessels which are avail- able to make this evacuation are as follows: Henderson, Kittery, Beau- fort and Jason. The Henderson will be used primarily to transport per- sonnel, though she will carry some freight. The other vessels will carry freight, though the Jason will be used o transport men and planes and as many officers as practicable of the | aviation detachment. A competitive examination will be held, commencing with the week of December 1, for appointment to the grades of gunner (radio) (aviation) and boatswain (aviation). United | States Navy. The preliminary exam- | ination of candidates, as prescribed by article D-5123, Burcau's Manual, will be held by commanding officers 1t is pointed out by the Navy Depart- ment that the reports must reach the burcau prior to November 1, as applications received subsequent to this date will not be considered Eligibility requirements for thix ex amination are outlined in detail articles D-5800 to_ D-5817, inclusive and D-5835_and D-0837, Bureau of Navigation Manual. In the case where candidates are serving on unattached vessels or sta- tions, they will be transferred to a ship or station where a board has been convencd for temporary duty in connection with the final examina- tion. They will return to their regu- | lar stations and duties upon the com- pletion of the examination. Every opportunity will be given each man to present himself to the nearest super- visory board. and where candidates have been transferred after they have recelved authorization to appear for examination, their authorization will be forwarded to the candidate's new commanding officer. Decision has not vet been made whether or not the Florida will go in a reserve status on July 1 or Sep- tember 1. She may be kept at New- port for the summer, and it is su gested that she be reduced to partial reserve status. ARMY With the assignment of Brig. Gen Frank Parker to command the 1st Infantry Brigade of the Ist Division. it is believed in some quarters that this is a forecast of the pFomotion of Brig. Gen. William . Graves to suc ceed Maj. Gen. Charles H. Muir. who will retire July 18 upon his reaching the retirement age. Gen. Graves has been in command of the Ist Division as senior brigadier general for some time. During the war Gen. Graves had a very difficult assignment while he was on duty in Siberia. It is be- lieved that the assignment of Gen. Parker to a brigade of the division would not have been made if its com- mander were to remain a brigadier general. An even dozen ordnance officers will be relieved from dutv in the office of the chief of ordnance in the next two months, while thirteen officers now in the field will come to Waghington for assignment in this office. Those leaving Washington are: Cols. H. W. Schull. Samuel Ho! Lieut. Col. €. M. Wesson. who go. to the War College: Majs. G. W Booton, J. K. Clement. . R. Hxter, L. D. Booth, L. 0. Wright. A. B.

Maj. J. A. Brooks 11 be assigned to the personnel di- vision. while Majs €. G. Mettler and H. O'Teary will take up their duties with the technical staff. The remain- ing four incoming officers to this office arc Maj. R. Sears, Capt. H. F. Safford. and Lieuts. R. R. Studler and V. Wilson | s It is the desire of Surgeon General Ireland that officers of the medical department reserve be informed that existing War Department policy does not provide for the automatic pro- motion of reserve officers after each five-vear appointment. Officers be. come “cligible after each five-year period in grade for advancement to the next higher grade. but to secure promotion application must be made to the commanding officer of the corps area in which the officer resides. In this connection, the surgeon general urges officers eligible for promotion to submit their applications at least ninety days prior to expiration of existing appointment in order that reappointment may be made in the higher grades of those officers found qualified for promotion. Officers eligible for advancement whose ap- plications are not submitted in suffi- cient time to effect reappointment in the advaneed mrade are advised to accent reaponintment in the same grade when submitted by the adjutant general, with the assurance that pr motion 'will follow if thew arc found qualified. ~ Failure to accept reap- pointment automatically separates officers from the organized reserves by operation of law. Nine officers concluded the term's work of the Army Industrial Col- lege with appropriate graduation ex- ercises June 26.

CLOCK operated according to ave nove! principle has been devis by a Freuch engineer at Lisueux. Tt power is derived from the heat throw 2 n alcohol lamp. There is ler-shaped reservoir form: the base of the clock and which con tains two liters of aloohol. Thia suy plies a small alcohol lamp, t of which will heat a conical at the top. This commuxni through a tube with a small vesse fitted at the other end of the latte and the motion of the clock is ef fected by the pendulating of this tube and vessels, the big wheel witl the minute hand being actuated b chain and escapement. The minut hand is in its turn called upon to ac tuate the hour hand by striking stop on the dial The operation of the clock is abo as follows: The conical vessel 1 the left, having become heated ! the flame beneath, suddenly its slanting position after seven <o¢ onds. rising until tho conical ve at the other end of the tube stri its support During this motic chain fixed to the left of the pent lum tube will pull a slide locat above the lamp, and, by losking t -wiil isolate the left-hand conical v« sel from lamp. The vessel ac cordingly cools down, and after 4 other period of seven seconds dre on to its support, thus again open ing the slide and exposing the weo- gel to the action of the flame so & to heat it anew and cause the whole process to be repeated. A chain to the right operatss th escupement actuating the main whoel the small double cone to the loft of the dial serving to withdraw this escapement. The disk fastened tr the left-hand arm of the pendulum at the beginning of experiments al- lows the motion to be controlled, while a micrometer screw ed to the alcohol lamp serves to adjust the helght of the flame and to retard or the motion of the cloel clock requires no winding each charge of the aleohol reco suflices for a Wwhuie month's tion. at he flams - leav the
