Navy. In so far as the travel funds remain- | ing available for this fiscal year will | Tmit, it is understood that most of e changes among theé flag officers of the Navy, afloat and ashore, to be made next vear will take place before June | 30, 1929. Included in these changes | are: the relief of Admiral Henry A. Wiley as commander-in-chief of the United States fleet and the probable assignment to that command of Ad- miral William V. Pratt and the desig- nation of Vice Admiral Louis MrC,] Nulton, now in command of the battle- ship divisions of the battle fleet to com- | I ARMY-NAVY NEWS ” | mand of that fleet as relief of Admiral | i tt. It has also been rumored that | r Admiral William C. Cole, com- mander of battleship division 4 of the battle fleet, and Rear Admiral Lucius | A. Bostwick, commander of battleship division 3 of that fleet, will be ad-| vanced to the temporary rank of vice | admiral, one to command the battleship | divisions of the battle fleet and the other to command the scouting fleet as | Telief of Vice Admiral Montgomery M. | Taylor, who in all probability wiil be given shore duty. The indications are that Rear Ad miral Harris Laning will remain for an- | other year in command of the battle- ship division of the scouting fieet, Rear | Admiral Frank H. Clark in command | of the destroyer squadrons of that fleet and Rear Admiral Frank B. Upham in command of the control force. It is understood that Rear Admiral Yates Stirling, jr, now in command of the Yangtze patrol, will be relieved by Rear Admiral Thomas T. Craven, who is now commandant of the naval training sta- tion at Great Lakes, Ill, and of the | Bth Naval District. Upon completion of the gunnery pro- am for this competitive year, Lieut. omdr. Mervyn S. Bennion, now on duty as navigator of the U. S. S. Mary- | land, will come to duty in the Bureau | of Ordnance, while Lieut. Comdr. Van | Leer Kirkman, on duty as engineer offi- | cer of the U. S. 8. Mexico, will b: H signed to duty in the Bureau of X gation. As a result of the retirement of Capt. George L. P. Stone on December 24, Comdr. Laurance N. McNair and Lieut. Comdr. Charles M. Elder became due for promotion on December 25. The resignation of Comdr. Hugo W. Koehler, who has requested that it become ef- fective on February 14, 1929, will create & vacancy in the grade of commander that will be filled by the promotion of Lieut. Comdr. Henry T. Settle. The latter officer is the running mate for eight lieutenant commanders in the | Dental Corps and two in the Supply Corps, and his promotion will operate to provide for advancement of those | m to the rank of commander. officers are Lieut. Comdrs. L. A. Willard, George H. Reed, John V. Mc- Alphine, Edward E. Harris, W. L. Dar- nall, John R. Barber, F. L. Morey and M. W. Mangold of the Dental Corps and Lieut. Comdrs. A. H. Mayo and F.

Fay will become. due | for promotion to the grades of captain | and commander, respectively. It is extremely doubtful that the pro- cruise of the fleet to the west| coast ports of South America will be made, there being a wide variance of opinion among the naval authorities as | to the desirability and advisability of | conducting the cruise following the | fleet problems and manoeuvers to be | held in February off the Pacific end of the Panama Canal. In view of the re- cent visit of the U. S. S. Maryland to a number of the west coast ports of South America with President-elect Hoover the question has been raised whether there is any need for the cruise. High ranking officers of the fleet are in gen- | eral in favor of carrying out the cruise program announced by the Navy De- THE SUNXDAY STAR.
