Officers Object 4, Proposed System
Of Promotion.
Chicago. Dec. 28.-In his annual re-
port Brigadier General William HI.
Carter, commander Of the department
of the Lakes, speaks Of a noticeable
feeling Of unrest among the officers
OF the regular army stationed within
his department. The report says:
During the last year my attention
has been frequently attracted by what
may be termed serious spirit Of un-
rest among officers, brought on mainly
by public discussion of proposed
measures for elimination and promo
ton by selection. However desirable
may be the measures designed to-
bring about the selection Of the quail
fed for advancement: or the preven-
ton Of promotion for those believed.
to be unfit for further command the
army Is certainly against their enact
ment. The impression has been
forced upon me that the officers as q
body, particularly Of the line. while
recognizing the desirability of provid-
ing promotion for exceptionally meri-
storious men. are unwilling to trust
their careers to boards of officers,
who OF necessity must base their CON
illusions upon personal acquaintance
or efficiency reports which latter are
not regarded as accurate indexes of
either character or qualification"
