Washington special: Army officers
are greatly disturbed over bill which
was introduced in the senate by Mr..

which bears tile innocent title, "For the
relief Of Marcus A. Reno" Marcus A..
Reno was once in tile Fourteenth United
States infantry He has been the de-
PENDANT before two courts martial, AMI
his record was proven 10 he such that IL
was deemed best for the general good Of
the service 10 dismiss him from the
army in disgrace. Besides that, Mr.
Reno is the individual who failed %
sieze the opportunity OF his life in max
ing the attempt to relieve that ideal cav
alryman named Gen. Custer. Senator
Davis bill proposes TO direct the presi'
lent to restore him 10 the army with
the rank Of major, Army officers who
are conyerslnt with the facts in MIR
Renos military career are naturally in
disnant that Mr. Davis, who was his
counsel before the court martial, should
try TO foist him into the army again
Fortunately his record is 40 well known,
and he has SO few sympathizers, TINT
the prospect Of the passage Of the bill Is
by no means bright
