President VIII Appoint One Major
General This Year.
WASHINGTON, Jan, 81, Presi-
dent Roosevelt will have an oppor-
tunity this year to appoint one mai
or general and four brigadiers. one
of whom will be chief of engineers.
Vacancies will be caused by the re-
tirement of high ranking officers
under operation of the age limit, the
first of these taking place today,
when Brigadier General J. NJ. X.
Davis, in command of the depart
ment of the Gulf, leaves the army
service.
The next retirement among gener-
al officers win be that of Major Gen
eral A. w. Greeley, formerly chief
signal officer and now in command
of the department of Dakota, on
March 81. This will leave a va
cancy in the grade of major general
and permit the promotion of brig
adler general, with a consequent va
cancy in that grade.
The other brigadier general to re-
tire will be General Charles B. Hall,
on August 20. General Hall is now
in command of the postgraduate
school at Fort Levenworth, Kan,
one of the most important billets in
the military establishment.
Brigadier General Alexander Mac
kenzie, chief of engineers. will re
tire on May %. The principal phase
of interest to army officers in con.
nection with these retirements is
that of the advancement of General
Frederick Funston, now the senior
officer of his grade. to the rank Of
major general.

While all the machines of the
