The board went into executive session
and considered its decision. It was made
public through lie War Department.
High army officers, while in measure
sympathizing with Col. Ayres. cannot
conceal the qualification they feel They
say It is the irony of fate that the colonel
should receive his official quietus from

liciy inveighed a few weeks ago by de-
claring that he would prefer to appear

Brave on San Juan Hill.
The colonel has a good fighting record,
and holds a complimentary letter from
President Roosevelt for his heroism on
San Juan Hill. But the coloners temper
in tine Of peace was as high as his
valor was great in time of war. and it has
often kept him and the department in
hot water. Not having had a civil war
record, the colonel cannoA be retired at
a higher grade than the one he now
holds, which he only received three
months ago.
