Retirement by Selection.

One bill provides for system of retire
ment by selection with a view to promote
the flow of adyancements. The bill pro-
vides that, should the average number OF
vacancies in each grade from all causes
from colonel down TO first lieutenant be
less than a certain per cent of the total
number of officers in the grade next be-
low, additional vacancies to bring the total
to the required number shall be provided
by wedding out the least efficient officers
The Secretary adds
1T seeks to provide remedy for a con-
dition of affairs in the cavalry, infantry
and artillery, bad now, but certain to be-
come intolerable unless a cure is applied
That condition is the result of stagnation
in promotions combined with the unavoid-
able failure in practice of retiring and eX-
aiming boards to remedy the evil
Other bills the passage of which the Sec
rotary advocates provide for the o-ganiza-
ton Of a service corps OF 1900 men, at
tached to the supply departments of the
army, for the performance of work hereto
fore performed by soldiers; for the reorga-
nization of the veterinary corps of the
army; to extend special leave privileges to
certain instructors and student officers at
service schools; to authorize commissions
to issue in the case of officers retired with
increased rank; to provide the non-commis-
stoned officers necessary for duty at va
rious recruiting depots. and to provide for
promotions to fill vacancies by detail of Off
GERS below the grade of brigadier general to
the general staff, and by the detail of Off
GERS to the Military Academy, on recruiting

ment showing the present facilities in the

with an enrolment of 800 white and 734
colored, making a total of 1,543 pupils.
District in Congress.
Senator Gallinger today introduced a bill

be the subject of traffic except on the part
OF the person to whom they originally be-
longed.
Senator Gallinger also today introduced a
bill to extend 4th, Irving and 9Th streets

have all-day sessions, has been steadily re-
duced during the past five years, as new

A Partial Reserve.

Another bill is designed to carry into eff
feet certain provisions of the act of Feb
ruary 2, 1901, and to provide a partial re-
serve for coast defense in case of actual
or impending war. The bill provides for a
force of not to exceed $1,000 men, who shall
have served not less than one complete en-
listment in the regular army
They are to be enlisted for five wears and
to be carried on the rolls of the military
secretary's office, to be allowed to live
where they please in the United States, but
to be subject to call by the President of
ten days each year for instruction and on
the outbreak of foreign war. to be called
into active service. Secretary Taft explains
that the bill provides for a means of en-
aiding the President to comply with the act
of February 2, 1901, to increase the army
to 100000 men in case of an emergency.
The total cost is estimated at about
S2.000,000 a year.
reserve of trained men was shown at the
outbreak of the Splash war. when it was
found TO be impossible to secure men for
the regular army who had had previous
training, which necesitated regiments going
into battle al their peace strength. The
purpose of the bill is simply to have avail
able trained force to Immediately bring
the regular army to the strength now au-
thorized by Jaw, which would practically
double it's efficiency and the annual in
creased expenditure for that purpose would
only be about 3 per cent of the present
cost of the permanent military establish
ment.'
