COMPLAINTS TO DEPARTMENT
From Enlisted Men of Army Wishing
Appointments.

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 16.-The
war department has received many
complaints from enlisted men of the
army who have passed the prelimin-
ary examinations with view of TAX
ing the final examination in Decem-
Der for appointments as second lieu
tenants. Some time ago the general
staff made il possible for the secre-
tary 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 2S vacancies in the grade of sec
ond lieutenant. Eighteen of these,
including those in the artillery, are
reserved for the enlisted men of the
be filled by order of the secretary of
war from among civilian candidates.
1 mere has always bt'li lll'l w 49,"
question regarding the Interpretation
of the law providing for filling vacan-
cies in the grade after the appoint
ment of the West Pointers.
Secretary Root differed from Sec
retary Taft in his construction of the
statutes, and believed, that all the va
cancies 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 COM
petition is regarded by most army
people as unfortunate at this time,
when there are so many candidates
from the ranks. The protests which
have reached the war department may
result in changing the situation to one
more favorable to the enlisted men.
