favor of Merritt, correspondent of the
Free Press writes: Merritt has been
booked for every brigadier generalship hat
has been made in the past ten years. He
is standing candidate. Meanwhile Stan

been appointed, and Wilcox's friends have
the best assurances that he is safe for
the next. Willcox's appointment was
only postponed TO provide for Potter,
an older officer, who retires first, "early in
October" After such postponement, it
would be an outrage on Wilcox to pass him
over; ON outrage which President Cleve-

Colonel of The United States army, and has

all the candidates. 1t would be a burning

he will be retired early next summer.
