It will be the first mobilization of the 29th Divi= sion, provided the War Department finally approves the plans, which have been formulated in a tentative way | by Maj. Gen. Milton A.

Ritchie, at Cascade, Md.

NAVY DEPARTMENT CHANGES LISTED 65 Lieutenant Commanders | to Be Promoted and 27 Retired. As a result of the recommendations of the recent selection board lsting 65 lieutenant commanders for pro- motion to the grade of commander in the line of the Navy, 27 lieutenant commanders will be placed on the retired list on June 30 for service ineligibility for promotion, less the number in that class who in the meantime may be retired on their own applications and for physical disability. Likewise, as a result of the recommendations of the Decem- ber selection board of captains and commanders for promotion, 16 cap- tains and 24 commanders will be transferred to the retired list on June 30, or before. Thus, service ineligibil- ity for promotion of those officers who have failed of selection means that 16 commanders, 40 lieutenant com- manders and 67 lieutenants will be advanced to the next higher grades, respectively, in addition to those who will go up as a result of vacancies occurring for other reasons June 30. |, Of the lieutenant commanders se- lected for promotion in February, 22, down to and including Charles E.

Moore, will make their num- bers by June 30, next. Lieut. Comdrs. James M. Shoemaker, Gerald H. Wood and Robert O Glover will beccme due for promotion July 1. and Edward Hazlett, jr, August 1.
