Southern California. Last night the board
Of examining surgeons completed its labors
and found that 1856 is the number Of men
who are not physically qualified to serve
their country in the field. Much dissatis-
faction still exists among the men over the
severity OF the examinations, but the Of
ficers realize that the higher the standard
Of health among the troops the better will
be their work at the front. The rejected
men are now barred from all army Depart
ments and their services to the country
will have to be rendered in some form Of
J civil pursuit.
The failure of the southern men to pass
the board has left about half a hundred
places open. The membership of the First
infantry is in excess of the number the
regulations prescribe and some of the men
Of this regiment may be transferred to the
Seventh.
Company L of the Seventh has renewed
Its peace with the regimental authorities
and is making the most of its victory
in the fight for Lieutenant Greenleaf. Col
onel Berry has assured the members that
Greenleafs removal and the appointment
of Ulm was intended to improve the SER
vice. but as the men think otherwise, he is
willing to abide by their judgment. There
now remains no danger that Greenleaf or
the other officers of the company will be
disturbed.
Three officers of Company D of the
Seventh have lost their commissions. They
are Captain Thomas, First Lieutenant
Reynolds and Second Lieutenant Phillips.
At the examination conducted by the medi-
cal board they were found to be physically
disqualified. Captain H. T. Matthews. who
was formerly major and commissary on
the staff of Brigadier General Johnson, has
been given command of Company A.
John A. Eason, once captain of Com
pany M of Riverside, will be first lieuten-
ant and the third commissioned office is
still vacant.
The men of Company OF Santa Paula
have consented to remain in the service,
Notwithstanding the enforced retirement
of Lieutenant Say.
Colonel Berry has convinced them that
Say had not been sufficiently attentive to
his military duties at the southern re-
cruiting station.
First Sergeant J. ]. McKenna will wear
the straps Of a second lieutenant in Com
pany e and the first lientenancy will be
filled by the promotion of Second Lieuten.
