NAVAL OFFICERS.
EFFECT OF REDUCTIONS. NEARLY 2000 WILL BE RETIRED. A POLITE INVITATION. [By Electric Cable-Copyright] [Aust. and N.Z. Cable Association.] (Received Sunday, 7 p.m.) LONDON, May 13. The. Admiralty announces that owing to large reductions in requirements in personnel for the fleet, and naval establishment generally, a large, surplus of officers, of certain ranks and seniorities, exists. The total surplus is approximately 1836, of which 1429 belong to the executive branch. The Admiralty hopes that all officers in the ranks and seniorities affected, having special chances of settling in civilian life or an exceptional opportunity of taking another career, will do so. Should the response to this invitation be insufficient, the requsite number necessary to complete the reductions will be selected and given the alternative of retiring on special terras or placed on half pay.
