N.Z. NAVAL FORCES.
OFFICERS FOR LONG SERVICE. WELLINGTON, Tuesday. On June 10 last the Minister of Defence, the Hon. F. Jones, inaugurating the scheme for the entry of young New Zealanders as officers in the executive, engineering and accountant branches of the New Zealand Naval Forces, announced that two candidates were required this year for each branch. The syllabus is a stiff one and requires special preparation, so it was not surprising that very few qualified for consideration, and that in the result no candidate was able to satisfy the examiners and the Interview Board that he had attained the standard required as cadet or cadet (E). Only one candidate was accepted for probationary paymaster sublieutenant. "It has, therefore, been decided," said the Minister to-day, "to accept further applications for this year's entry, which must reach the Naval Secretary, Navy Office, Wellington, by September 30." '
