under them TO follow political ends he
would remove them promptly and without
hesitation The supervisors. were intro
duced by Census Director Durand.

He announces that notifications of the

While General Bell does not outline what
these notifications will be- II is believed
they will provide that officers serving
in the tropics and officers about to retire
on account of age shall be excused from
taking the tests and possibly for provid-
ing horses for detached officers to use in
taking monthly exercises.
No increase in the strength of the army
is recommended at this time. General
Bell, however asks for extra Officers TO
take the place of the 7O9 officers now
absent from their commands on detailed
duty.
A most important matter for the general
welfare Of the country General Bells says
is the passage of a comprehensive meas
