ARMY PROMOTIONS.
Usually an Officer Is an Old Man Before He
Reaches the Rank of Major.

Usually an Officer Is an Old Man Before He
Reaches the Rank of Major.
Every body knows that the military
academy at West Point supplies the
army with officers, but it does not sup
ply it as fully as generally is supposed
For the last two years the graduating
class has exceeded the vacancies in the
grade of Second Lieutenant but for
many years before that the number of
graduates was much less than the num-
Der of vacancies. A large number of Of
fcers in the regular establishment en-
tered it after the war from the volun-
teer service. For the past ten years
half dozen nOn-commiSsioned officers
have been promoted annually to the
grade of Second Lieutenant. If these
two sources did not supply officers
enough the President appointed a num-
Der of young men from civil life, the
friends of influential politicians, to be
Second Lieutenants.
Up to the rank of Captain, promotion
is by regiments, that is, vacancy in
the rank of Captain is filled by the pro-
motion of the senior First Lieutenant
of that regiment Consequently acct
dents make promotion in some regi-
ments much more rapid than in others.
An effort is being made to change
this so that vacancy in the
grade of Captain of infantry
will be filled by the promotion of the
senior First Lieutenant of infantry
without regard to regiment. From the
rank of Captain to that of Colonel the
promotion is also by seniority, but it
goes by the arm of the service. When
a Colonel of artillery dies or resigns, the
senior Lieutenant-Colonel of artillery is
promoted. This system of promotion by
seniority obviates favoritism, but it also
compels virtue to be it's sole reward, for
there is no way whereby an officer who
distinguishes himself can get along any
faster than another officer who is not
quite bad enough to be dismissed from
the service. There is one exception to
this general rule. By taking man out
of the branch of the service where he
has distinguished himself he sometimes
can be rewarded. Captain Lawton, of
the Fourth cavalry, did some magnifi-
cent work in the campaign against Ger
onimo three years ago. He could not be
promoted to be Major of cavalry any
sooner on account of this service, but he
was last year rewarded by being taken
from the cavalry and made Major and
Assistant eneral.--Chautau-
guam.
