RETIRED NAVAL OFFICERS
■• EE-ENTER SERVICE AND TAKE LOWER BANK. London June 21. The Nav.il records show that since the outbreak of war a large number of offieers on the retired list have offered their services to the Admiralty, including some twenty admirals, vice-admirals, and rearadmirals. When the need of the country appealed for it these officers iook lower rank than they had previously enjoyed, finding work as temporary captains in the Naval Reserve, aboard patrols and minesweepers. Six admirals who so rejoined have already pained the Distintingiiished Service Order, two at least receiving the distinction for sinking enemy submarines.—Aus.-N.Z. Oibls Assn.
