The War Department officials are very
much embarrassed at the requests coming
i'm from the newly-appointed brigadier-
generals of volunteers TO have regular
United States army officers assigned TO
duty on their STATS. The immaculate con
sentence of acceding TO these requests has
been TO force the volunteer officers of the
lower grade than general officers upon the
regular service, in which position they are
frequently called upon to command men
,aUch older I'm wears and ripper in military
experience than themselves. The result
is dissatisfaction and discomfort all along
the line. for as rule the regular army
officers very much prefer duty on the
stan OF generals Of the regular army. and

"Not single counterfeit coin was
discovered in the course of the inves

described as counterfeit were seen and
