Is Reported, VIII BE Named.
The two vacancies in the grade OF
Brigadier General in the Army viii be
filed, according to a high army Off
Ger. by the appointment of Colonel
Sharles Z. Hood, Sixteenth Infantry, and
colonel Theodore J. Hfnt, OF the Sixth
Cavalry.
As these are the first vacancies Of gen
eral rank in the army the President has
had to I'LL, there has been great interest
aroused. Many OF the senior officers
OF the army who are approaching the
age Of retirement have been in hopes
President Roosevelt would adopt the
policy CT his predecessor and appoint
them to the advanced grade with the
tacit understanding that immediate re-
tiTement would follow. thus making room:
for other selections
The appointment Of CoIoneIs Hood and
Wint, however, would show that the
President did not favor such a policy.
Each OF these officers have yet long
time to serve before reaching the age OF
81 years
