Few and Far BetMeens

WASHINGTON, June 7.-There
will be no appointments made in
the line Of the Army this year,
either from the ranks or civil
life, as there are not even suffi-
cient places for the very large
class which completes the four
years course at West Point on
the 10Th instant, and under law,
cadets must be first provided for
before commissions can be is
sued to others. Several nOn-co
miSsioned officers have passed
examinations for promotion, but
must forego receiving commits
sions for at least another year,
or until vacancies are created
above those necessary for the
West Pointers. Among those
who will be disappointed are the
sons of several army officers and
of prominent people in civil life
who had no other avenue of en-
tering the army except through
the ranks.
When it becomes known that
there will be no vacancies it is
! believed that many will at once
apply to be discharged rather
than continue in the ranks an
other year, or perhaps even
longer, and with the uncertainty
then of being commissioned.
Several young men in civil life
had expected to be appointed
outright without undergoing the
hardships of an enlisted mans
life, but these, too, will be dis
appointed.
In making appointments pre-
ference is always given to com :
missioned men. During former
administrations the custom OF
selecting young men with strong
backing for commissions in the
army was so abused that it be-
came almost a public scandal.
Young fellows were appointed
who did not pass the entrance ex-
animation to West Point, and
others whose physical defects
were obvious. The son of a Sen
ator was one who received an ap
pointment in the cavalry ane
thus led to some cadets being ap-
pointed to the infantry after
| four years hard work at the
academy. President Cleveland
has insisted that when there are
surplus vacancies above those
REQ uired for the West Pointer
they be assigned to enlisted mer
when possible.
The total number of vacancies
in all branches of the service a
present is thirty, two. There
will be two more vacancies or
August 8 in the cavalry by rea
son of retirements, and five nov
exist which will become avail
able on the President commits
sioning officers to some OF tht
: staff corps. Three of the gradu
ating class will be designated a:
additional lieutenants OF engl
neers and the others commits
: stoned according to their stand
{ ing in the cavalry and infantry
t and those for which there are NJ
: places will be held over unit
t vacancies are created.
