There is one feature which does

him to take up his residence at the aban-

he expects to remain on the active list. In
stead OF spending that time at desolate
Fort Grant Ariz.. where he was prac-
tically exiled last October.

Although St. Frances barracks is an

between serving at post twenty miles

Col. Stewart to apply for retirement it is
possible that he may be transferred to
