ARTILLERY QUARTERS CROWDED = NO
coast artillery companies will be sent TO the Philip
pines present year. It had been planned that
three four companies of that arm should be sent
10 form the garrison Of the insuar fortifca-
tions in Manila Bay. and coast artillery officers
and enlisted men were excited in view OF this pos
sibe transfer impossible TO carry out the
War DEPARTMENTS purpose, for the reason mat
there are no funds in the possession of the com
manding officer of the Philippines division for pro-
viding the shelter necessary for troops Con-
gress the last session specified that no part oil
the funds for artillery barracks and quarters
should be used in construction at posts beyond
continental limits It will be necessary, therefore,
TO obtain additional appropriation from Congress
at the next session change the wording OF the
law so as make the existing appropriations
available for this purpose If the latter action is
taken construction can begin in the latter part OF
the present year or early in 1909
EXPEDITION OF ADvANCEMENTs.-The pro-
motion of junior army officers subject to exanlina-
ticn" which was recently authorized by the Secre-
tary of War upon the suggestion made by the ad-
iufant general army and the opinion rem
dered by the Judge advocate general of the army,
has been working with eminent success, Every now
and then there has been block in promotion, and
sometimes the delay has amounted TO more than
six months This due the fact that the
senior officer be promoted to the next higher
grade i'll and could not be examined In one
case after waiting six months, the officer was eX-
amined only to be retired of the date when he
should have been promoted. OF course, this is all
stra ghtened in time. but il has had the effect
of delaying advancement and in deprived
regiment of six first lieuenants. whose duties had
10 be performed by other officers. The system of
promoting an officer and examining him when he is
able to take the examination has relieved the mill
tary personnel Of very inconvenient situation.
