Sir: A measure for tho substitution OF ono major

heutenaastef the Signal Service Is now before tho
House ard Senate. Tho army records snow that
ono of the officers subject to displacement served for
twenty years and that The others served nearly as
long They came from tho ranks. Ono OF these
licutenants, formerly private, made tho greatest
discovery In modern msteorOlogy. These officers have
