From The Tribune Bureau


ENCOURAGING THE sOLDIER.-An enlisted
man of the army who was recently commissioned
officer resignins such for the good OF the ser
vice has created interesting question for the
military authorities by applying for certain in
sigma to which he would be entitled II he were
an enlisted man of continuous service Originally
he gained distinction soldier in the Philippines
and appointed a second lieutenant. He was
threatened with trial by court martial for failure
TO keep pledge Of temperance. AS officer he
entitled to wear the badge, and It be-
question whether, in view of his interrupted
caree: a commissioned officer. he could receive
the emblem during his second experience as an
enlisted man. The Secretary of War has taken
the position that since the former officer al
lowed to resign and again accepted
enlisted man il is the duty of the department to
do all it for the enCOu agement of the soldier
and avoid doing anything which would dis
tinguish him from his associates For this reason
the soldier after his unusual of enlisted
man. commissioned officer and enlisted man again,
is permitted the emblem Indicative of
worthy service in his preceding enlistment.
