violent opposition to the proposition.

resolution ordinarily would be gent,
seemed Inclined to resent the manner

1t is somewhat curious that such n

should be comparatively modern in

Stewart is by no means an isolated
one. on the contrary, the practice of
"eXiling" military incorrigibles seems
to be recognized distinctly at the war
department, especially as the proper
discipline for an army officer who de-
clines 10 retire when he is asked TO do
so,
Although army officers do not admit
il publicly, civilians long connected
with tie department do not deny that
this form Of ha2ing Is well established
and not lnfrequontly resorted to. The
Arit step is always 70 send the victim
"A letter suggesting that he retire at his
own initiative

hint and asked to he put on the retired

he asked to be retired,
In Ftill another case a colonel who

was notified, As he was past sixty :

getting rid OF an officer regarded as
undesirable"
II has leaked out also that for some
time an attempt has been making to
force the colonel off the active list.
Certain persons have seen a letter
from the military authorities request
ing Stewart To apply for retirement
II is even known that the 'undesir-
able" colonel replied to the intimation
TO the effect that he would bc quite
willing so to do provided he were made
a hrigadler general ms n preliminary.
This, It may be observed, Is the usual
prnccdure--it is the custom TO retire

grade held at the time Of his applica-
tion for retirement
