Law in the Cass cf the Contra versy Now Stirring the Navy Department. IT HAS TWO INTERPRETATIONS 1 Accordingly a3 It Is Cited by Eithei Disnutant Definition cf the Words "Line" an2 Staff" as Fs-d In the Naval Service Mctcalf Is Silent. Washington, 1 oe. I'T Now that the legality of the president's ropo-di action in the matter of assigning a ; staff othcer in the pers m of surgeon i Stoki s to command the hospital hhipj Relief ha.s Leeu tailed hi question it is proper to state that the reliance of the line oilieers is upon a provision in see-j tion 7 of the naval i-rsonnM act of March o. iv.ip. That section amon other things, was designed to clear ui a doubt that existed as to the right of a staff oil'u-er to assume the title of a line oflicer of a corresponding grade in the matter of pay and emlunieiits and length of service. The Law in the Case. Fp to that dale staff officers had enjoyed what was called '-relative rank."' with which they Avere not satisfied: so in section 7 the word "relative" was struck out. so that all sections of tinrevised statutes which, in detinin the rank of olhcers or positions in tht navy, contained the words the,. 'Native rank" were amended so :;s to read "the rank of." To this provision the following Important qualification was ntt u-hed: "Rut ollicors whose rank is so defined shall not be entitled, in virtue of their rank, to command la the line or in other staff corps." Two Interpretations Thereof. Lino officers understand this to mean that no surgeon or engineer (if there shall ever he again commissioned en gineers), or paymaster, or constructor. shall he placed in a position on hoard shin w here he may command the movements and actions of any person not of his oami staff corps. The staff oilieers. for their part, hold that this act does not in any sense abiidge any privilege of rank formerly enjoyed by a staff oificer. Brownson No Longer Chief. Admiral Brownson relinquished his position as chief of the bureau of navigation Wednesday,, and the duties of that office are being discharged by Commander Cameron Mediae Winslow, the assistant chief of the bureau. Commander Winslow was not designated or appointed chief of the bureau as the result of recent events, bnt signed all of his mail as "avting" chief. "LINE" AND STAFF" DEFINED What the Terms Mean as to DutiesMetcalf Not Talking. As this whole controversy threaten" to occupy the attention of the public for some tinie to come, and perhaps to figure to some extent In the proceedings of congress, it may be proper to state the difference between the line and the staff, about which the public mind is more or less confused. In brief, it may be said that a line officer is one whose sole duty is to fight the ship, while the staff olhcor is one who either provides the means for'the line otlk-er to do so or acts under his direction hi carrying out his general orders. Thus, the engineer, when of th1 staff, looks cloely after tho machinery and starts and stops it when called upon to do so by tho line officer; ho has nothing to say as to whei-e the ship shall go or at what F-pced or when it fdiall move. Likewise the surgeons aboard ship look after the health of the crew in time of peace and treat their wounds iu time of war, but they havt nothing to do with the movements of the ship to which they are attaehod. and the same rule applies to the paymaster and to the constructor who builds the ship navigated by the line o llicer. It has developed that a rear ago. when the Relief was put into commission, the decision was re-ached to assign a naval surgeon to command th? vessel in the event that it weremannod with a merchant crew and master. Hut in the event that the ship was manned with a naval crew then a naval officer of the line would be assigned to the command. A navrl surgeon in com mand would havo abso tite charge, just as a physician would exercise super vision of a hospital on land, without. however, interfering with the work o navigating the vessel. The Relief expected to have a civilian master and crew. Secret a tv Meton'f again declined to enter into any discussion the sties which prompted Admiral Rrownson's resignation as chief of the navi-c-ition bureau, an 1 declared he knew n at Ii i !! t nhoiit the sfitempji nf SitfJ goon Genera!
