READJUSTMEAT
Of RANK WOULD
WORK INJUSTICE

Washington, Aug 2l-Army officers
fear another effort will be made at the
next session OF congress TO readinst mill
tary rank throughout the lineal list OF
artillery, cavalry and infantry officers
Last session a bill was pushed which
sought 10 accomplish the purpose grad
ually. with the idea of restoring the rela-
tive position OF officers TO that condition
which would have prevented had there
noi been years ago, what Is known az
-eeimertal promotion. That was the time
when vacancy In the grade OF regi-
ment was filed by promoting the senior
officer OF the next lower grade OF the
same regiment Now a vacancy is filled
10y promoting the officer who stands at
the head OF the next lower grade OF the
list of all officers of the line.
The war department has declared itself
against any such radical change in the
lineal bst II would demoralize the per-
sonnel TO attempt TO go back now and undo
the efforts OF regimental promotion. The
change would be unjust to all officers
who have been lineally promoted. regard
less OF what was lost by officers I'm the
days OF reaimental promotion. For this
reason only such legislation will be OPP
posed vigorously by the war department
and by large majority OF officers.
