Sick Leaves In the Army.

WASHINGTON, January 8 Gen. Sher
man caused general order concerning
the abuse of sick leaves to be issued to-
day, of which the following are the
principal portions:
"O.Iicers whose ailments could quite
as well he treated at their proper stations
as elsewhere are permitted to leave their
commands; others, whose disorders are
caused by some local influence, are per-
mtted to leave the military departments
in which they are serving, when tempo
rary removal to some other station within
the department would alleviate their
sufferings; still others are granted sick
leave who, while possibly physically in
capable OF discharging the severer duties
pertaining to their positions, could per-
form many duties of lighter nature al
the posts at which they are stationed, oil
whose services might be usefully EN-
ployed at other posts in the department
1t is believed there are instances where
medical officers have given certificates
OF disability on the represeL tation Of th'
applicant alone, without making tha
searching inquiry into the supposed dis
tordessSor what possibly caused them
which is expected of them as experts
and which it is their duty to make.
Authority to go beyond the limits o
the department on sick leave is contem
plated by the regulations only in tw'
cases: First, where it is necessary to saw
life, and, secondly, where it is necessat
to prevent permanent disability. Leave
granted to sick officers to go beyon
| department limits when the certificate
do not place the cases beyond 4qdestio
within the extent of this regulation mus
be ordinary and not sick leaves"
