THE NEW ASSISTANT ADJUTANT GENERAL
The unexpected selection by the President of
Capt. Theodore Schwan. OF the 18th Infantry
to be an assistant adjutant general, meets with
high favor among army officers who regard
merit and worth as the best recommendations
tor advancement. The applicants for the posi-
ton included about all the captains of the line
and it was hardly thought that while there
were some who had such weighty influence
military service would be thus signaily recog-
nized. The President gave the matter his per-
sonal attention, and selected, SO it is said the
man who in his opinion most deserved the ap-
pOintment.
