The Army Retired List.

There are now lieutenant generals,
20 major generals and 80 brigadier
generals on the retired list, drawing
pay respectively at $3.50, $5.G25 and
81, 125 a year Through recent legisla-
ton and rapid promotions the retired
list has become topheavy, and the
Washington Post expresses the opn-
ion that it would not be surprising
should revolt take place against the
list of both the army and the navy.
Four years ago the retired list of the
army was considered formidable
item in Uncle Sans bill of expense. At
that date the list comprised l lieu
tenant general, major generals and
90 brigadier generals. Two years
ago an act of congress raised many
men on the retired list one grade if
they had been in the civil war and
had not received an advance grade on
retirement. This affected many colo
