Officers Couldn't Ride:
May Be Retired

Washington. Nov. lily dlrec-
ton of President Roosevelt a dozen
army officers will be hailed before n
retiring board presided over by
Brigadier General John NJ X. Davis,
to meet at Washington barracks to-
morrow. This IS the first result Of
the presidents famous order to test
the horsemanship OF army officers.
At first considered MS joke. It has
become a serious matter for many
army officers.
The twelve officers who will APP
pear before the retiring board to-
morrow we're not selected because
they failed in tho actual test of
horsemanship. They were never
permitted 10 attempt It. In the ar
engagements by the general stan for
carrying out the presidents order It
was ordered that all officers liable
to the trial should submit TO a pre-
llminary physical examination. These
are the men whom the surgeons re-
ported as UNIT 90 undertake the If
teen-mile ride.
Now they are ordered before a rc-
firing board, with their cases preiu-
diced by that adverse report. ana
hardly one OF them hopes to escape
the decapitating ak The list includes
two Of the best known officers Of
the quarlermastor's department. a
coast artilleryman of high profess
sional efficiency; n distinguished ord
nance officer, and two engineers, VIII ,
have devoted many years to river
and harbor work.
In the cases OF the engineers, re-
tirement for inability to stand n
test IN horsemanship probably means
only that they will be- detailed as
retired officers TO active service on
the same work that they have been
doing for years. They will continue
to receive tho pay Of active list men
while on such detail, but promotion
Will be so slow as practically TO have
ceased, and all opportunity for al

will be ended ~

DEFY HIGHER CRITICS

st. Louis. Nov. IA Bible con-
ference, which has for It's object a
revival OF interest in tho scriptures
as the divine word and to counter
act and combat the attacks made by
rationalists and higher critics on the
authority and inspiration of the BIZ
Bile, began in st. Louis today under
the auspices of the Bible League of
North America. This organization
was formerly known as the American
Bible League, but 70 was recently
found expedient to change its name,
because of the customary Limitation
OF the word American" TO the
United States only. so that in order
to broaden its scope the league had
practically to make its name more
narrow. The conference will last
three days and Will be addressed by
many prominent clergymen OF vari-
Gus denominations.

tised as a physically deficient officer,
has caused great furry In army
circles. Many officers occupying re-
aponsible desk positions are uneasy
and alarmed.
The dozens officers ordered before
the board tomorrow represent only
the first lot who have been unable
to fulnl the requirements OF the
presidents riding order. When the
rides throughout tho country are
completed many moro will undoubt-
edly be added to the list. Reports
received at the department indicate
that several officers I'm different parts
OF the country have had to give up
after few miles in the saddle.
In the list OF twelve officers who
will appear before the retiring board
tomorrow arc three colonels, three
lieutenant colonies and six majors.
The colonies are James NJ. Marshall.

would retire for age March 81 next;
