WILL BE DROPPED FROM ARMY.
Nearly Three Months Since Lieut..
Lacour Disappeared,

Unless present plans are changed the
name of Second Lieut.. Joseph w. Lacour.
18th Infantry. will be Dropped from the
army register next Friday, as that day
will mark the expiration Of the three
months period allowed in the case of off,
GERS absent without leave before they can
be dropped from the rolls on the charge Of
desertion At the time of his disappear
ance from his post at Fort Mcpherson. Ga,
Lieutenant Lacour was threatened with
court-martia1 for alleged violation Of the
army regulations. His dismissal will en-
able the department to promote several Of
his juniors in the infantry arm.
This case Is altogether different from
that OF Lieut.. Max Sulnon. 10th Cavalry,
whose absence from his post at Fort Clark.
Tex, Is believed to have been entirely In
voluntary. The impression is that that
ofiicver- has met with violent treatment
or Is otherwise the victim of circumstances
beyond his control Consequently the ON
Gals of the War Department are opposed
to putting the charge of desertion against
his record unless they have positive In
formation to Justify it.
