VIENNA, April 27.

A circular from the War Minister has just
appeared, containing the new rules relating to the
promotion of officers.

The accompanying report to the Emperor of
Archduke Albrecht, the Commander-in-chief,

lays stress upon the urgent uecesssity of
extending the system of promotion hitherto
in vogue. His Imperial Highness calls to
mind that the distressing experiences of 186 G,
prove the need of promoting intelligent officers more
rapidly than was possible by the former method, and
states that in future intelligence and military effi-
ciency will be the motives governing advancement.
The Commander-in-Chief proposes the establish-
ment of a class of aspirants to commissions not de-
pendent upon the usual age for service ; promotions
in cases of special qualifications, the promotion of
a reserve of staff officers, the settlement of a maxi-
mum age for service, after reaching which retire-
ment shall be compulsory, and the practice of im-
mediate promotion for acts of extraordinary valour.
