The Navy Department announced this week the names of those officers of the Chaplain Corps who have been selected for promotion. The report of the board was approved by the President August 1 and the officers selected make their number for pro- motion as indicated. Those who were selected for pro- motion to the rank of captain are Robert D. Workman, August 25, 1924, vice Capt. W. G. Isaac, retired, and Edward A. Duff, September 11, 1925, vice Capt. J. B.

Shoemaker, chief of the Bureau of Navigation, Navy Department, at the progress being made by the midship- men now taking aviation at Annapolis. week was to witness the first flights made by some of the members of the class. Apprehension was evident quarters that the new naval air policy would not work out as planned, but all fears in this respect have been dispelled by the manner in which the 150 mcmbers of the first naval air class have taken hold of the course. The groundwork of the course, as developed at the academy, has in the past been given at Pensacola, but it s now transferred to Annapolis This course embraces the following subjects: Radio instruction, care of engines and machines, which aviators must have a knowledge of before fiying. Each midshipman taking the course will be given eight hours of flying, during which fights they will receive instruction in radio operation, navigation and gunnery. After the midshipmen have graduated and are assigned to the fleet and at alr sta- tions for their two years of sea service following graduation, they will continue their flight training. Such a system, it is pointed out, will make every commissioned officer in the Navy have an_excellent knowl- edge of aviation, and those officers who are to serve for a term of years in 3 air arm, not yet been decided, which ha training and sent to the naval operat- |ing ses to complete same. It will be required of the naval air men to serve a certain length of time at sea, so that when they attain an| age at which their efficlency as an aviator decreases they will be quall fied to perform regular line duties. 2 far as is known now, the detail system will be employed in assigning officers to aviation. It is believed that the | policy of calling for volunteers fo aviation duty will be discontinued within a vear or so, and the SURR! tions calling for the creation of a sep- arate corps for alr officers are not be- ing encouraged ARMY. Brig. Gen. C. L'H. Ruggles, assist- ant chiet of ordnance, has just re- turned from an extended tour of duty in Europe. While abroad Gen. Rug glen visited a number of the European capltals observing the current ord- nance activities, and he also served as 2 member of the American delegation to the conference at Geneva for the supervision of the international trade in arms and ammunition and in the implements of war. A new type of helmet made up by the Ordnance Department, which af- fords more protection to the wearer against artillery fragments, tested by the fleld artillery board at Fort Bragg, N. C worn during the war is in the contour.

In the American Army the standard service rifle weighs $ pounds 8§ ounces, with a bayonet weighing 1 pound, {which makes the total weight of the American weapon 9 pounds § ounces. Though the new British rifle repre- sents a reduction in the total weight, it is understood that its barrel is heavier than the present standard. To glve emphasis in training in situ- ations of a kind applicable to that theater of operations, to develop the qualities of initlative and leadership, and to provide means for determining the relative combat proficiency of all units is the primary purpose of hold- ing the Panama Canal Department’s annual firing competitions, regulations for which have just been issued by the War Department. Beginning this year, there will be awarded by the depart- ment commander a trophy, to be known as the department commander’s trophy, to the winners of each compe- tition. ‘These competitions will prob- ably be held during the month of April of each year.
