Hereafter the adjutant general Of
Maine will have the rank of brigadier
general instead of major general which
is the rank the office carries in all but
six States in the Union. In New Hamp-
shire, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana and
Maryland the adjutant general has the
rank of major general and in Arizona
the rank of colonel.
The change in Maine was announced
Saturday in general orders from the
office of the adjutant general These
orders contained an executive order,
signed by Governor Fernald accepting
the resignation of Major General Elliott
c. Dill and re-appointing him to the
same office with the rank of brigadier
general under the provisions of Section
IL of the new military law which went
into effect Saturday.
While there is a proyiso in the new
law which exempts present members of
the staff of the commander-in-ch
from the lower rank prescribed for
future members of the staff. General
Dill felt that the best interests of the
National Guard would be subserved by
an immediate change. hence rendered
his resignation in order to be reap
pointed with the reduced rank.
In his correspondence with Governor
Fernald regarding the change. Gen.
Dill stated that in the case of officers
VINO had served with distinction during
the Civil War, the rank of major gen.
eral was no more than fitting recogn1-
ton, but that for the practical work.
ing out of the National Guard prob
lens of today he believed the lower
rank was desirable.
