Ar1-sT RE GRADUATES OF TECHNICAL
SCHOOLS S-Thsre will probably he no civilians
appointed to the Office Of second lieutenant IN the
army this year. excepting in the coast artiiefF
corps. for which examiua tons are now belhs held
in various parts Of the country. The candidates
from civil life the coast artillery branch must
be graduates Of technical schools, and few, II any,
enlisted men Of the army who aspire 10 be ap-
pointed second eutenants eligible through lack
of professional training There will be eXaTllna
tIons soon at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas of ten or
twelve enlisted who have been recommended
for commissions. Those who qualify physically
and mentally will he appointed to vacancies exist
ing under the assignment Of graduates of the Mill
tary Academy in the class Of 09. These assign
rnenrs have beer made, and there is some doubt
whether su of the enlisted men who are candidates
fer commissions will be accommodated although
every effort has been made 10 provide for them
There was an expectation that there would be room
for some candidates from civil life in the infantry
cavalry and field artillery but the prospect is
that for some wears the vacancies will be absorbed
by the West Pointers and the army candidates
except in the of the coast artilery where Tor
some time there will be commissions awaiting
qualified candidates not only from among the Mill
tary Academy graduates and civilians. but such Of
the r7fdshinman as have completed the six-year
course az the Naval Academy. The Navy Depart
ment has adopted rule which precludes the ap-
pcation Of midshpmen for transfer 70 the ccast
artillery until they have completed the two years
lis In such instances il is not necessary 70 have
q professional exaninat ton, everything depending
the results Of the physical examination 1t 1s
found that midshipman who is physically dis
qualified for service ensign in the navy may
he stil eligible officer of the coast artillery,
as the conditions Of service different and the
minor defects in 2 mtdshipman would not operate TO
the disadvantage of the same man IN his candi-
dacy for appointment In the army and especially
in the coast artillery corps.
