If the army regulations should require
that the President or the Secretary of
War must get the approval of any large
number of army officers before important
billets in the service were handed out The
proba bilities are that very few appoint
ments would be made For some reason or
another it usually happens that the APP
pointment of an army officer TO an import
ant station seldom secures the approval
of any great number of the officers COM
rades. There is usually something the
matter with the officer. 1t is almost GER
tain TO be the case that some other Off
Ger than the one appointed would have
been much better fitted for the station, in
the opinion of his brother officers, than
the one appointed.
This difference of opinion between the
officer of the permanent establishment and
the appointing power as to the fitness of
the appointee does not do anybody any
harm and II affords The critcising officers
