WOULD LOWER RETIREMENT AGE
GEN. MORTON SUGGESTS CUT
TING 1T DOWN TO 81.
Discusses Harmful Results Arising
From the Absence OF Many Officers
From Their Commands.

Several interesting observations are
made by Gen. Charles Morton. comma nd
ing the military Department of the Mis-.
souri,, in his annual report to the War
Department. He says that the "embar-
easements and harmful results arising
from the absence of so many officers from
| their proper organizations have been en-
phasized during the year rather than d.
minished.'' He suggests that the evil
might be somewhat remedied by keeping
captains with their companies and having
detached service performed by other OFF,
GERS. Seeing still greater necessity for re-
lief he renews his former recommended
ton for legislation that will authorize the
filing by promotion or appointment of
any vacancy in an organization caused by
the detachment of any officer therefrom
to fill detail specifically authorized by
law. This would. ne said, in measure
relieve the present stress and anticipate
and provide for the much greater demand
for officers in the event of war.
In the opinion of Gen. Morton, officers
over sixtytwo years Of age should not be
required to take the ninety-mile test ride.
He says that such officers are subject to
retirement at the option of the President
and will be compulsorily retired for age
in two years. The present regulation. he
says. would require test ride to be
retired within short period.
Former Retirement Age.
Gen. Morton also suggests that the age
retirement in the army might be fixed
with advantage to the service at sixty
two, the age limit in the navy.
1.-THE limit of a. says Gen. Morton,
was a special favor to some distinguish
ed generals of the civil war at the time
Of the enactment Of the law. An officer
is rarely physically fit for active service
after sixty-two years OF age. That limit
would benefit the service directly and Ia
cilitate promotions some, and work no In
justice or injury TO deserving individuals.
Lack Of zeal. energy and thoroughness
carelessness and Incorporate habits
should be causes. Of expulsion before the
fact of age. Possibly only elder persons
realize the fact that some men who at
tain years retain physical and mental
vigor and possess the better equipment
Of longer experience"
e. Gen. Morton's Observations.
In anticipation of his retirement for
age next March, Gen. Morton takes occa-
sion to say that with the exception of
brief interval of a few months, he has
been continuously In service since July,
1861, passing through about every grade
from private Of volunteers. and conse-
quently is fairly familiar with the de-
tails Of the service. He adds that he
has noticed steady and constant i'm
provement in the army proper, but more
pronounced of late years. Judging from
the troops and affairs that have recently
come under his observation, and presum-
ing that like conditions prevail in other
departments, he expresses the conviction
that the army was never in better con-
dition or in higher state Of efficiency"

was found that each carrier IN the
county was collecting an average OF
11o one-cent coins each week.
This average applet to all the routes
in operation throughout the country
would give the enormous total OF
about 300.OO0.000 one cent coins.
AS most OF these coins are de-
