San Francisco Cal, Aug. S.-If a
veiled statement made here today by
a leading army officer is an author
ity, a general strike is soon to be
made against the new riding tests
instituted by Roosevelt to prove the
efficiency of high army officers. He
declared the order lacks proper
legal foundation and contended that
all orders "for the good of the serv-
ice" should originate in congress.
A movement is reported to be un-
der way to bring the matter to an
immediate test by colonels and majors
who will be called upon TO straddle
horses for a 9o-mile ride and wear
out army leather on 5O-mile hikes,
1t is pointed out that If the tests
are for the good of the service they
should affect all grades of service in
stead of being directed solely at the
higher officers.
