0. K. SHIPS ‘RIGHT’ AND ‘LEFT’

Admiral Winslow’s “Port” and “Starboard” Protest Turned Down by General Board. Washington, D. C. —Although RearAdmiral Cameron McR. Winslow protested against the use of ‘right” and "left” instead of “port” and “starboard” in giving orders to the helmsmen in the navy, Secretary Daniels

has announced that the change which he recently ordered would stand. Admiral Winslow based his protest upon the simplicity of sounds of ths words “right” and “left" when given as orders in a strong breese. The general board, to which Secretary Daniels referred the protest, did not agree with'the admiral, however, and recommended that the change stand.
