SOCIAL LIFE IN THE GERMAN NAVY.

FRICTION AMONGST OFFICERS.

A commuoique issued by admirai von Pritwitz und Galkov, commanding on the Baltic station, reveals an extraordinary stato of affairs to the Imperial German Marine, and has evoked a storm of criticism from ail sides. The Admiral, it appears, has become concerned at: the lecreasing friction between the executive officers and their non-executive colleagues, such as engineers, surgeons, and paymasters. The tnuble had bear browing for several yers, and has now reached an acute stage, 2 dminal von Prithwitz and Gaffron has even taken the drastic, step of circumscribing the

of both classes of offices. He reminds the engineers, and other non-executives, that they cannot expect executive offices and their wives to mix with them as social equals, and advises them literally to take a back seat on socia occasions.

Proceeding to details, he counapls engineers, surgeons, and paymasters to content themsel- yes with seats "ather than the orchestre slalig" at the theatr. As son, he adds, coodutions are necessarily different, and a certain amount of tulercourse ön terms of equality cannot be avoided. But nun-executivos` must not pre-
