A BAR TO PROMOTION OF
SECOND LlEUTENANTS

Washington, d. C. March %
Many second lieutenants of the army
are greatly disturbed over the fact
that they cannot be promoted. No
officer of that grade of the infantry
arm has been advanced since last
September. This is on account Of
charges pending against Lieutenant V.
w. Boiler of the 10th infantry. These
charges reached the war department,
and although Boiler had been nomi-
mated for promotion the senate mill
taTy committee has asked for further
information concerning him, with the
result that the court Of inquiry has
been detailed. and it will be several
weeks, if not months, before the sit
uation is relieved for the subalterns of
infantry. In the meantime Iieuten-
ant Boiler insist hat he shall have
the presence of long list of officers
whose testimUr ae regards as neces-
sary in establishing his fitness for
promotion. The -ummoning of these
officers befCre the court of inquiry
would mean a loss of much time IN
travel. to say nothing of the expense
Of milage and .Ha annoyance due 10
nteeism. The war department Is
inclined to think nat Lieutenant Boil
Ter should depend on depOsitions 10
acquire the information, all of which
Is far from cheerful news for juniors

discussion of the budget. of the enor-
nous military expenditures demanded
by Lord Kitchener commander-in-
chief of the British forces in India,

security. He added: 81 cannot agree
that the serious reverses of Russia
have minimized the danger to our
frontier, for all time. am afraid
we shall be more impelled to con-
slider the effect those reverses will
have on the pride of a high spirited
race. In time, Russia will feel COM

cents per ton in the mining scale at
basing points,
The motion that the action of the
