INVERGORDON INCIDENT
NAVAL OFFICER’S VIEW TREATMENT OF SCAPEGOAT LONDON, Aug. T. Expresing the belief that nearly all naval officers would support Sir Roger Keyes’ appeal against the Admiralty’s treatment of Vice-Admiral Tomkinson —the scapegoat of The ?Inyergordoni “incident”—the Manchester Guardian quotes a distinguished officer as saying that the inexcusable act which caused tho trouble was the authorities reducing pay without giving the matter proper consideration. The officer added that, although one or two captains of the fleet at Invergordon, whose war records were too great to be ignored, had been promoted, several captains had been punished by not being given employment since, while the promotion of a rearadmiral and others had ben checked.
