The President has called halt. a little
over a week ago an order went out to all
the Departments that all dismisSals and
appointments to ill places not vacant must

the part of the President. The result was
that orders for a number of changes in the
Pension Office were countermanded and

other Departments, declaring his policy to be

past week, and is still there. How far this
thing is to 90 can but merely be surmised,
but it is true that the President is decidedly
III earnest and does not intend that his
declarations shall be ignored.
