A'rmy and Navy News i3y M. H. Mc[ntyre. NAVY. Of interest to officers of the Nav the selection of the new commande: f of the United States fleet on the relicf of Admiral Robert Coontz, which will become effective when the fleet returns from the cruise to Aus- tralia. Were there not so many flag officers on the general board of the Navy and other important shore assign ments nearing the retirement age, ther would be quite an array of high-rar ing naval officers, from which the Sec retary would make his selection. It is however, that the Secretary is of selecting the next com- mander of the fleet, who will not be- comg eligible for retirement either »Hor to or after his assignment as commander-in-chief of the flect would expire. The names of two officers stand out st prominently in connection with his most Important naval assignment Th Rear Admiral Charles F, Hu who is now on duty directing tne activities of the fleet training divi- sion, Bureau of Naval Operations, Navy Department, and Rear Admiral Guy H Burrage, president of the board of in- spection and survey. Both of these offi- cers are highly regarded by Secretary Wilbur, and when the general relief of officers in the fleet takes place in June they will be glven important com- mands afloat It is believed that the make his selection of chief of the flect some relief of Admiral retary 1 consult ande aming the commands, ecretary will ‘ommander-in- time prior to the Coontz, o that the the new com- other important Approval has been giv Department of the itin shakedown cruise of the U, S.

This memorial s in the form of an iron gateway with two supporting columns which is being erected at the entrance to the Lapayrouse Cemetery, in which burial ground Admiral Perry was in- terred in 1819, by the Navy ary of the Capt. T. H. Hicks, er in charge of th . South Brooklyn assigned to the dut of standardizing and improving the system of taking an Inventory of stock in the yards and depots, Capt. Hicks is,a specialist in this line and by work- ing with the other officers In the Supply Corps it is believed that a system can be devised by which an inventory at any yard or station may be taken with little difficulty and upon a moment's notice. The view is held in the Bureau of Sup- plies and Accounts that more frequent and active inventories should be under- taken by the officers of this corps. (SC), U N., Navy Supply has been of making a study A fixed program for three years' construction, rejection of a separate ajr service and the operations of the Washington bombing tests are the gutstanding points contained in the report of the special board appointed at the direction of the President for the purpose of recommending & policy with reference to the development and upkeep of the Navy in its vari- ous branches—i. e, submarines, sur- face ships and aircraft. The report is considered to be one of the most exhaustive studies ever made in which sea-power development and aviation are featured. The recommendations of the Presi- dent, which he has sent to Congress, are below those of the special board, but this is only in harmony with the economy policy of the administration. In his recommendations the President rejects the recommendations of the advocates of a separate air service, for the abandonment of the battle- ship and the funds to be expended upon the budget's aircraft. According to the board's report the Washington tests disapprove the con- tentions made by Brig. Gen. William Mitchell, assistant chief, Army Air Serviee, that a modern battleship can be sunk with bombs dropped from airplanes in two minutes. A phort paragraph sums up the opinidn of the board relative to the establishment of a separate air force. It redds as follows: “To sum up the question of a.sepa- air force, as viewed from the andpoint of the efficiency of naval or military operations in time of war, the board is of the opinion that the creation of such an organization would be illogical and undesirable.” ° rate ARMY. Between February 1 and the end of the fiscal year, June 30, next, 28,240 enlisted men of the regular estab- lishment will be separated from the active rolls of the Army due to the expiration of their enlistment con- tracts. During the fiscal year 1924 the enlistments of approximately 77,000 men expired, while for that of it is estintated by the War De- partment, about 60,000 of the enlisted personnel wiil sever their current en- listments from the Army due to the expiration of their present contracts. Great hope held out by the War Department authorities that a large number of these men will re-enlist. It is estimated that the re-enlistments of the entire Army number about 40 per cent of the discharges. At present the actual strength of the military establishment is on a parity with that of the authorized figure—that is, 118,750. Extensive ef- forts are being made by the military authorities to re-enlist those men whose contracts with the War De- partment will expire between now and June 30, this being in accord- ance with the economy policy of the administration. Securing a new re- eruit on the street without previous military experience, it is pointed out by regular officers on duty in the de- partment, entails considerable more outlay than merely re-ealisting a man who ha rved either one or more en- Iistme All overseas garrisons are up to full strength. Following are the number of enlist- ment expirations which will become effective between February and June 30, 1925: February, April, § H 6,696, In order to determfine the most ef- ficient tyist of rifling, a number of caliber .50 Mann barrels have been shipped to Aberdeen proving ground for a firing test. An order has been placed with Springfield Armory .for the manufacture of addftional Mann barrels with reduced pitch of rifling for continuing the test until the most suitable pitch of rifling is found. Approval has been given by the adjutant general of the Army for the withdrawal from service of the following anti-aircraft fire control equipment: Horizontal distance al- timeter, model 1917, sets complete; :*Bnr\a.flo" grills, meodel 1917 and odel 1917 MI, and range computer ‘with tripods and carrying case, model 1920.

A perusal of the service records of the non-commissioned officers of the first three grades of the Ordnance Department discloses the fact that during 1925 8 master sergeants, 18 technical sergeants and 1 Ftaff sergeant will automatically be placed on the retired list of the Army upon their completing 30 yegrs of service. Of the 3 non-commlssioned offi- cers of the first grade, Sergt. William S.

Angler, Although an active membership cam- paign has not as yet been inaugurated, the number of voluntary applications coming in indicates that the newArmy, Navy and Marine Corps Country Club, which is to be located on the old Columbus Country Club property in Virginia, a few miles from the High- way Bridge, is meeting with great fa- vor among the officers of the services in Washington, Capts. R. H. Jaschke and J. E. Brewster, both Marine Corps officers, have been elected to the board of governors to take the places of Col. R. M. Cutts and Maj. C. G. Sineclair, who will be unable to serve. Capt. Francis Boyle, Officers’ Reserve Corps, has been engaged as financial secretary and will devote his entire at- tention to the business activities of the organization, the office of which has been established in the Transportation Building. Gen. C. G. Treat heads the committee on constitution and by-laws and Comdr, C. B. Mayo the one on membership. The club shall be composed of life, resident, absent, non-resident and hon- orary members. The life membership is limited to 1,000, and the non-resident membership shall be unlimited. Arrangements are being made by the graduates of the United States Military Academy residing in the vicinity of Washington and those who have at one time or another been sufficiently long within its walls to become imbued with its spirit, to hold the annual anniver- sary dinner on March 21 to commemo- rate the 123d anniversary of the es- tablishment of West Point. It is estimated that there are ap- proximately 500 West Pointers within reasonable distance of Washington. The place for holding the dinner will be announced in the near future. For further information concerning the affalr, address Maj. Charles G. Mett- ler, O. D, office of the chlef of ord- nance, Washington, D. C. As the time approaches for Col. Rob- ert H..Allen, Infantry, who has been appointed the next chief of Infantry, to assume control of this War Depart- ment branch in March, considerable speculation is going on in Army cir- cles, especially among Infantry officers, as to whom the new chief of Infantry Wil select for his executive officer. This post has been most ably ad- ministered by Col. John H. Hughes, In- fantry, for a considerable length of time, but within the mnext few months Col. Hughes, due to the operation of the Manchu law, will be compelled to go on troop duty. The colonel has been one of the most popular executive of- ficers which this office has ever had, and regret is being expressed not only by officers of his own arm, but those of the other branches, over his approaching departure for troop duty. Nothing definite is known as to whom Col. Allen has in mind for this im- portant post, but it is rsported that the next incumbent will be an officer fresh from troop duty. Announcement has been made by the War Department that during January a total number of 5,340 en- listments and re-enlistments were obtained. According to branches, they are as follows: Infantry, 1,818; Cavalry, 305; Fileld Artillery, 932; Coast Artillery, 475; Air Service, 586; Corps of Engineers, 135; Signal Corps, 79; Quartermaster Corps, 287; Finance Department, 15; Medical Department (medical and dental), 280; Medical Department (Veterinary Corps), 33; Ordnance Department, 117; Chemical Warfare Service, 28, and detached enlisted men’s list, 150. -The distinction of securing the greatest number of contracts goes to EUROPEAN RESORTS. | edu T Y.

PORTUGUESE GIRLS TAKE UP ECONOMIC BATTLE Discard Tradition and Go to Work. Overcome CGreat Ill Will of Masculine Element. Correspondence of the Associsted Press. LISBON, February 1—The women of Portugal slowly are emerging from the almost Moorish seclusion in which they have lived for so long, and the first thing they do, under the new freedom, is to go to work. The. shops and offices of Lisbon are be- sieged these days by girls eager to follow in the footsteps of their sisters in other countries and earn their own livings. Much had to be overcome by these Lisbon girls. There was the resist- ance and il will of the masculine element, grounded in the precedent of many centuries, and a large group of minor State officials, in fear of their own jobs, voiced violent opposition. In the schools also Portuguese girls have won their victories. They have exploded -old traditions, and today are taking their places on the benches along with their brothers. thers, religious conduct a & overy the 3d Corps Area, in which 957 en- lstments or re-enlistments were ob- tained; 828 were obtained from the 2d Corps Area, the 4th Corps Area se- cured 629, while the 8th Corps Area obtained a total number of 614.
