While the army bill in It's amended
form provides for many notifications
OF the measure originally proposed by
Secretary Root. it retains all or nearly
all the more important features OF his
plan and affords an excellent working
basis for military reorganization. The
changes which have been made relate
chiefly to the manner Of making promo
tions and filing vacancies in the vari-
Gus military bureaus. Mr., Roots plan
for filling such vacancies by permanent
detail from the line Is abandoned. and
IN its place II is provided that when
vacanciea occur they shall be filled by
apoplntment by the Secretary OF War
after competitive examination OF the
applicants, The measure also provides

press a belief that the soldiers Of the
United States may become an agent Of
oppression and tyranny in the United

great armies OF the civil war were dis
banded to return to neglected families
IN the North and ruined homes In the

today that the men who fought 10
