AND RESIGNS THE NEXT

Agricultural College n. NJ, Dec. g.
Captain Powell of Fort Bayard was
detailed by the war department tc
take charge of the cadet battalion at
the Agricultural College. He reported
on Saturday for duty and then received
word that he had been placed on the
retired list of officers and his pay re-
duced accordingly and as he would
receive about the same for idleness
that he would for working, he chose
the former and resigned on Sunday
The officers of the cadet battalion
at the school have decided to provide
themselves with the regulation army
suits of olive drab color. These viii
be worn by all the commissioned off
GERS and will add very much to the
general appearance of the battalion.
