There Is certainly strong and an earnest enorl
10 revive the grade of Acknowledgement. ana II
any one OF the three bills passes. Ma1or-"eherai
John NJ Schoneld who viii be retirtd Tor age III
centomber 1850 will be OF that grade Senator iaw-
leys bill introduced few days ago, proposes 'hdl
the grade be revived. and that the President be
authoriaed to select one for the vacancy who has
commanded armies in the field in the time Of war.
II this bill should pass the grade would not continue
many wears unless there should be another war.
inasmuch as there are only TWO or three officers
who commanded armies in the Civn war senator
Dayiss bill provides that the senior maJor-general
while commanding the army OF the United States:
shall have the rank and pay OF lieutenant genera
and have the privilege Of the same personal stan
as heretofore fixed by law. This bill would make
the grade continuous one.
rha detail Of officers for duty at colleges seems TO
he growing in popularity with Congress and the
educational institutions as is shown by a bill in
troduced by Senator Manderson which viii in
crease the detail l2O officers OF the Army or one
qfth more than are now allowed by me law. pro-
vision of the act specifies that at least one-haf Of
this number shall be detailed from the retired list
and that such officers shall receive the full and
allowances of their grades while 50 acting. This
provision II IS said. meets with favor in view OF
the fact that II will give retired officers employment
and will be actual economy TO the Government for
the reason that retired officers Of the Army now
receive 70 per cent Of the full pay and are not called
upon for duty 1t has also been suggested that the
same law that provides for the detail of officers OF
the Navy as instructors Is to be amended TO allow
FOR the detail OF those on the retired list Another
preferably those on the retired list snail annually
inspect the military departments or the institutions
of learning which have officers Instructors. An
