From the revolutionary days to the present the citizens of the United States have been ever ready to uphold at any cost the flag and the honor of the na- tion and to take all the responsibilities, born of duty, that can never be repudi- ated.

EE e RESIGNATIONS THREATENED et LINE OFFICERS ARE SHOWN THE PREFERENCE. reetin it s Engineers Glaim That the Ruling of the Secretary Does Not Follow the Intent of the Law. e Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL HEADQUARTERS, WELLING- TON HOTEL, WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.— The operation of the new personnel law of | the navy, which went into effect on July |1 last, does not meet with the approval of a large number of the former engineer | officers. One able member of that corps | has already resigned, and others are likely to follow. The Engineer Corps, it will be remembered, was merged with the line corps, taking rank with the latter, and the Engineer Corps has ceased to exist. The duties hitherto performed on board will in the course of time be distributed | among officers who, without being spe- | cialists, show an aptitude and preference | for such service. In other words, it will | be attempted to make the line officer fit for all-around duty on deck and in the engine-room, and there are already mis- glvings as to the practical working of this plan. Of the 170 officers of the defunct Engin- | eer Corps there were on July 1 ten who | became captains and sixteen ranking as | commanders. The average ages of these two grades were 60 and 5 years, respect- ively; thelr tour of sea duty has termin- {ated ana they will henceiorth perform | engineer duty on shore only. Twenty- eight lieutenant commanders of 49 years average age are to perform engineer duty at sea or on shore unless they qualify | for general duties of the line by examina- | tion, in which latter event they will be | eligible for command and other duties of | the line. Next follows forty-five lieuten- | age 43 years and the other twenty about | 40 years, who are in the same catégory as the lieutenant commanders. Seventy-one | lieutenants of the two grades and ensigns | are slated to perform line duty, but are | | required to qualify by examination for | such duty after March 3. 1901. | _General order No. 524 issued by the Navy | Department formulates and defines the | duties of former engineer officers, and | also those of the warrant machinists, of | which latter a corps of one hundred war- | rant officers is In course of formation. A | certain number of the former engineer | officers, embracing seventy-three lieuten- | ant commanders and lieutenants, are up |in arms against the new law, claiming | that the Secretary’'s rullng‘ is contrary | to the intent of Congress. he Secretary | has alreadgllssued orders to about thirty { of these officers to prepare for sea.duty and for a course of instruction in line | work. It is evident that none of the lieu- | tenant commanders and at least twenty five of the lieutenants are suited for such | change of work, and that it will simply | be a waste of time for men on the shady | side of 40 to attempt to learn a new pro- fession. On the other hand, no line officer has as yet been ordered to qualify for en- | gineering duty, but upward of seventy of ts varrant machini the recently appointed | have been assigned to ships and will pe: form the duties hitherto carried on 1 engineer officers. The line officers are ev dently getting even with the former en- gineers for the latter's assurance to de- | mand positive rank, and the Bureau of Navigation fs doing some artistic Italian | work. The engineers were only after the rank of line officers, but did not wish to perform the duties of line officers. Much against the wishes of the greater number, they are now forced to go through a course of line duty instruction, for which they have no taste, and failing in the qualifying examination—which the major- ty are sure to do—their position is some- | what humiliating. It has always been contended by the m: jority of line officers that the duties of high priced and highly scientific officer on hoard ship could be equally well per- formed by a warrant engineer at $100 per month. This is _now being done, and places the scientific commissioned en- gineer officer on a level with the warrant machinist. It would appear as if the whilom_engineers made a bad bargain when they bartered their substantial ex- istence as a special corps for the emp honor of military titles. As for the war- rant machinists' corps, composed of prac- | tical enginecers competent to care for and | to run and repalr their engines, it is only a matter of a few vears when it will | clamor for commissions as regular officers in the navy, and it is sure to succeed just as the recent engineer corps had pro- gressed from plain ‘“‘greasers” to commis- | sloned officers.
