work Of reJTg4nizing the army is engaging
the earnest attention of the GeneFsl-iB-
Chief Of the War Department and many
OF the leading commanders.
The question ss TO which troops win be-
mustered out, and which be retained is not

those whose terms expire prior to October
next, will be the inst discharged. II is be-
lieved, however, that in recognizing the
army, an opportunity will be given 20

soldier TO remain 10 the service.
To this end an order will soon be issued,
requiring the department commanders to
ascertain the number of officers desiring 70
remain in the service, and to spPoint
boards to determine their qualifications,
and report thereon.
