GRAYSON JUNPED T0 REAR ADMIRAL | White House Physician Among ~ Those Promoted by President Washington, Jan. 19.—President “Wilson vesterday took steps for the promotion of five staff corps officers of the navy to be Rear Admirals, in ac- cordance with the provisions of the last naval appropriation act creating this permanent grade for the medical pay, construction, and.ecivil engincer ecorps. Among these promotions is ~sthat of Dr. Cary T. Grayson, a passed ssistant surgeon, with the rank of licutenant commander, who for vears has been detailed as pnysician to the president. Dr. Grayson was promoted pver ten passed assistant surgecons, 86 Eurgeons, 26 1edical inspectors, and 13 medical directors—a total of 137-— End in pay to $6.000, +{ The president sent the five nomina- tions to the senate.

Dr. Grayson, who is promoted from rar down on the Medical corps Hst, has been attached to the White House since the Taft administration. | He was retained by President Wil- #0on, and, besides serving as aid and kecping his chief in physical trim, Be hac kccome the president’s friend ~and companion. The doctor recently | passed the examination for the grade of medical director, and, in spite of the demands of the White House upon him, has found tiine to keep up practice in local hospitals. He is 38 years ‘old, a native of Virginia, en- téred the navy in 1903, and has had a three-year™ cruisé around the world. The announcement of these ap- pointments created a sensation in -qnaval circles last night, because the promotions as a rule were not made senfority or on recemmendation of any board of seléction, but were per- | sonal with the president and secre- tary of the navy. No criticism was ! made ‘of the ' promotion . of Chief | " Naval Construetor -Taylor, who was an international reputation for abil- ity. In this case, singe he was the ranking member of his corps, he was | not promoted over the head of any | other member of that corps.

Passed Assistant Surgeon Grayson was promoted over 137 offi- | cers of the medical corps, who out- ranked him and the _fact that they were pased over in <copnection with this appointment, it was learned o4 night, is ranking deep in the breasts of members of. the medical corps. ! They 'do not object to ‘Dr. Grayson, of whom they are all fond person- ally and whom they regard as an ex- cellent surgeon, but they feel that their claims to promotion should have heen considered. Seniority Rule Broken. Until this year all promotions in the navy, line and staff, were by seniority, the man at the head of each grade being promoted to fill the first i vacancy in the next grade. When the question of changing to the new sys- | tem of promotion by selection, which i has been legally adopted for the line of the navy, was before congress last summer, the nayal committees con- sidered the wisdom also of promot- ing staff officers by selection. Finally it was decided to promote the line only by selection and to say noth- ing in the law regarding the man- ner in which the staff officers should be promoted. There is declared to be nothing in the law which says how' the staff officers’ shall be pro- moted by seniority, or by selection, The appointments made today show that only in the case of Chief Con- structor Taylor was the rule of seniority followed. The other promo- tions were contrary to the rule of seniority. They were by selection, but by_ selection of a board of rea:ig:a 1§, such as congress de- cla 1d make the promotions of officers of the line. It is being contended by staff officers last night that if the rule of seniority is not to be followed in promoting staff officers to the new posts of rear admirals promotions by selection should be recommended by a naval board, and the selections not made without such recommendation to the president. : Lill()nine | INVASION OF SWITZERLAND IS WHAT YOU WANT FOR That Cold Linonine has an enviable reputation as a preventative for the serious ailments that frequently follow la grippe ! and colds. Even bronchial coughs yield to its great healing properties. | Large Forces of German Troops Said to Be Near Border and Swiss Are Preparcd to TFight. London, Jan. 19.—*“Swiss newspa- pers assert that masses of German | troops are concentrating near Basle,” says the Exchange Telegraph’s Gen- eva correspondent. ‘““The Swiss gen- eral staff is convinced that an inva- | sion of Switzerland is contemplated with a view to freeing Alsace from the French invader.” Serious attention is being paid by British military experts to the possi- bility of Germany violating the neu- trality of Switzerland. The concen- tration of large German forces in the region of Lake Constance gives color to this impression, which is strength- ened by the fact that Switserland has just mobilized the entiro second army division and all those portions of the fourth and fifth divisions which had not previously been called to guard the frontier. Switzerland undoubtedly is well prepared to resist vigorously if any invasion is attempted.
