Washington. Oct. 1.-Adjutant Gen
eral COrhin announces that the board
of brevctS recently appointed to meet
at the War Department Monday would
devote its attention solely to the cases
of officers ana enlisted men who cspc-
cially distinguished themselves IN the
campaigns in China and in the Philip.
pines. Ii will have nothing to do with
respect to the case of officers who rem
dered special service in the West H.
dian campaign.
The latter class of cases was dis
posed of 10y a similar board. which
concluded its sessions over II year ago.
While the fact that brevet has been
recommended to Congress for Colonel
Roosevelt was published at the time
the nominations were sent to the Sen
ate, it appears that the fact that there
were two separate recommendations
and the exact basis for the boards
action was not made public. There

ceadngs of the board:
