Rank Of Lieutenant General.

In an army no larger than that OF
the United States the grade of lieu.
tenant general is superfluous. Hither-
to It has been used In recognition Of
distinguished military service rathe.
than as useful or necessary rank in
the army. The office may be left un-
filled and public sentiment should
make 1t impossible for any president
to fll II on any other ground whatever
than that OF eminenuy distinguished
service in actual warfare. The rank
Of lieutenant general Of the United
States army should be a reward for
special distinction in actual military
service. II need not be abolished. but
1t should be kept sacredly by presi-
dents and by people as mark Of spe-
