REWARD FOR FUNSTON.

. discussion in all official circles In view OF Cen
eral MacArtIur's recommendation. indorseo oy

pointed brigadier-general in the regular al my
there seems to ne no doubt in well informed
quarters that the President will meet promptly
the popular demand and appoint Funston to one
of the existing vacancies in the list OF brigaoier
generals.
The only objection made 10 such action is that
IL would shut out all officers below the grade OF
brigadier-general from possible appointment 10
the head Of the army. 1t is said that this con-
dition of affairs would be due 10 the posslollty
that General Funston might have command or
the army until after all his present military
associates had retired for age. Although such
contingency is possible. IT is extremely improba-
bic. II appointed he would be the youngest
general officer in the army. and II promotions
were made by seniority. he eventually wouio
become the Iieutenant-gen and hold that or
fee many years. But under the law, the Presi-
dent selects all the general officers, and is not
even confined to the army in making them' IL
appears therefore. that General Funston,s ap-
pointment as a Lrigadier-general would not
necessarily mean his promotion TO the heau OF
