M. Brainard. If the nor- mal percentage of selection is maintain- ed, the junior officer selected should be Comdr. Hamilton F. Glover. ‘The instructions relative to a re- duction in naval expenditures require a | curtail of from $20,000,000 to $30,000,000, |and it is understood about the same amount will obtain for the War De- | partment.

Va, and Alexandria, Va., and perhags the yards at New Orleans, La., arleston, 8. C., also will be placed in an inoperating status.
