It is not surprising to even the ordinary
observer OF things congressional that the
house should go so emphatically on record
in favor OF the clause abolishing the grade
OF lieutenant general in the army, con-
tained in the army appropriation BILL where
its presence defied the point Of order which
excludes so much desirable legislation. The
facts that no one raised that point and that
the house was overwhelmingly In favor
of the extinction OF the grade were signi-
ficant Incidents of the enactment The
senate will take the cue from this house
sentiment, so impressively expressed The
clause, therefore. will remain In the army
bill It will not, as some people have
thought, attract the presidential veto II
Mr.. Roosevelt sent back the bill with his
disapproval the house certainly, and the
senate probably. would pass 1t over the
veto. This was the only way to aolish the
grade Of lieutenant general, which invited
the fatality on account Of the chances OF
its abuse indicated in some degree by ap-
continents already made to the grade. II
the Prince bill abolishing the position had
gone through, the president would have
applied. his veto. The chances of re-
establishing the grade for some years are
very remote.
