NEW RULING BY GEN. DAVIS
Certain Posts in Department of Mill
tary Secretary Must Be Filled
For Four Years Only.

Judge Advocate General Davis. Of the
Army. has rendered an important opin-
ion relative 10 the creation OF vacancies
in the newly established Military Secre-
tary's Department. He has held that
vacancies caused by the expiration OF
detailed tours on duty in this depart
ment cannot be filled by permanent APP
pointnnents. but must again be filled by
the detail OF officers Of the line for tours
Of four years staff service.
This opinion is OF the utmost interest

arose through the recent appointment of
Captain Barber. Of the line, to the origi-
nal vacancy in the grade of major Great
ed in the Military Secretary's Depart
ment by the act establishing that de-
partment.
Major Barber is. IL is understood,
bout 10 be retired because Of physical
disability incident 10 the service The
vacancy in the grade of major caused
by his retirement can be filled by per
manent appointment by the President.
according to the Interpretation of the
law. But lieutenant Colonel Sharpe, q
line officer detailed TO the Military Sec
retary's Department, will leave that de-
partment in Il " weeks because of eX-
Diratfon of his Tour years tour OF duty.
General DAVIS holds that Major Barber
cannot be promoted to that vacancy be-
fore his retirement. and that II must be
filled by the detail of another line officer
for four years service. Only the retire
ment OF officers holding permanent com
missions in the Military SecretaTy's De-
partment can cause vacancies 10 which
other officers Of lower rank holding per-
manent commissions can be promoted.
