MEH FROM PROMO ZION
Little Amendment Found in
the Army Bill.
Was Apparently Overlooked in the Sen

Committee.

When the army appropriation bill
passed the Senate it carried litde
amendment that did not attract any at
tention at the tine, but since the bill
has been sent to conference the s.gnif-
canee Of the amendment has just daBned
upon the members OF the House Com

The ameEdment Is No. 4, on page 3,
of the army bill. and is as fellows:
Provided that 10 enlisted man Who
has passed the examination for promo
tion shall be commissioned Or paid as
an officer rntu he shall have taken such
course Of instructions as the President
may deem necessary to determine his
fitness for the grade Of second Heuten-

The effect OF this amendment. it is
asserted, is virtual repeal OF the old
law which prescribed examination by
which enlisted men who passed would

the above amendment II viii mean that
all the soldiers who have passed a sgc-
cessful examination for promotion viii

the Senate amendment does an injus-
tice to a large body Of private soldiers
who are now eligible for promotion and
that the House ought to repeal it.
