ARMY NOTES or INTEREST

The approaching session OF Congress mas re-
yved among officers of the Army the discussion
of the ten-years' service law for enlisted men,
Evidently there is a purpose of having introduced
bill for its repeal early in the proceedings OF Con-
gress. One specific objection 10 the law Is that
there are many in the service who enlisted
under the laws giving additional pay for re-en-
stment. and providing for retirement al'eT d
certain term Of service, the inducemcnt being for
continuous service: and that il is against public in
terest that these men should be deprived OF the
rights and-priyileges incident to the laws under
which they enlisted. The officers assume that the
action OF Congress preciptate and therein lies
the main objection to the clause; and that u
change was really desirable. II ought to have been
made on more conservative lines. The purpose OF
the proponents not to benefit the Army
primarily but TO bring more OF the people into
the Army and to distribute more OF the Army
among the people.
