Gen. sherman's Retirement.

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 9-The presi-

the retirement of Gen Sherman.
Gen William T. Sherman, general of the
army, having this day reached the age of "a

the retired list Of the army without
restriction Of pay and allowances. The
announcement of the severance from
the command of the army of one who has
been for. SO many years its distinguished
chief can but ava ken, in the minds not only
of the army but the people of the United
States, mingled emotions of regret and
gratitude-regret at the withdrawal
from active military service of an
officer whose lofty sense of duty
has been a model for all soldiers
since he first entered the army, July, 1910
and gratitude freshly awakened for the SER
vices of incalculable value rendered by him
in the war for the Union, which his great
military genius and daring did so much 10
end. The president deems this a fitting
occasion to give expression in this
manner to the gratitude felt toward Gen,

hope that Providence may grant him MANY
years of health and happiness in relief from
the active duties of his profession.
