SOLDIERS WANT ALL THE
ARMY PROMOTIONS

Washington, d. c., Aug. 16.-The
war department has received many
complaints from enlisted men of the
army who have passed the prelim-
mary examinations with a view OF
taking the final examination in De-
cember for appointments as second
lieutenants. Some time ago the gem
eral staff made it possible for the
secretary of war to admit at any time,
when vacancies existed, a proportion
of civilian candidates with candidates
from the ranks. This year there are
enough soldier candidates, in all
probability, to fill the twenty eight
vacancies in the grade Of second lieu
tenant. Eighteen of these, including
those in the artillery, are reserved for
the enlisted men OF the army, while
the remaining ten may be filled by
order of the secretary of war from
among civilian candidates. There has
always been more or less question re-
garding the Interpretation of the law
providing lot filings vacancies in the
grade after the appointment of the
West Pointers. Secretary Root diff
fered from Secretary Taft in his con-
struction of the statutes, and be-
lieved that all the vacancies untitled
by graduates from West Point should
be held open to competitors from the
ranks, after whom civilians should be
admitted. The admission OF civilians
to the competition is regarded by
most army people as unfortunate at
this time, when there are so many
candidates from the ranks. The pro-
tests which have reached the war
department may result in changing
the situation TO one more favorable
to the enlisted men.
