The Retired List has been considerably increased since
II was last published and viii be still further extended
b, the Retiring Board in session in this city
About sixty officers are understood 10 have been sum
moned before II. many Of whom viii undoubtedly be
found unfit for active service and will be retired ac
cordncly The OF Congress under which officers are
retired limits the number on the list at any time TO six
per cent Of the total number Of officers in the army
According TO the present organization full retired
list would consist Of l43 officers There are now So on
the list, consequently there is room for 90 more.
The act Of July L. ls62 gives the President disore-
onary power to retire all officers whose names have
been borne on the army register - years who are
IS years OF age without, submitting their to Re
firing Board. The recent retirement. under this act
Of Gems Wool Harvey and Brown. and Cols. Long.
Thayer Craig Symington, Gates Merchant, Dimick.
LOOMS and Burke, together with the summoning OF
many field officers before tie Retiring Board, Is con
sdered very strong evidence that the authorities intend
70 take fun advantage of tAe act referred TO- by laying
al old officers the shelf and thus making way Tor
what are called young ofcogs-a term which. IN THIS
case means officers an the prime and 'igor OF manhood
though many OF them have barely attained their
military majoriti,s and under ordinary circumstances
would have had little chance Of doing until they had
become old gray headed men.
