PRESIDENT USES VETO.
Kills Congressional Act Giving Al
vanced Rank to Retired Officers.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The President
today vetoed the act of Congress pro-
viding that officers of the army, navy
and marine corps and of the revenue
cutter service on the retired list whose
ranks are advanced in accordance with
law shall receive commissions in ac-
cordance with such advance rank.
The President placed his veto upon
the objection made to the action by
the secretary of the navy and by Adj
miral Pillsbury, chief of the bureau Hf
navigation. They represented that
should that the act become a law, and
that the officers who have been trans
ferred to the retired list at an adj
vanced rank be given commissions in
the advanced rank, the effect would
be not only to make them temporarily
senior to the officers of the low ar
grade who were their seniors before
their retirement, but it would also
make them permanently senior to these
officers who remain on the active list
as their commissions in the advance
rank would be from the date of re-
tirement. and the officers of the active
list would have commissions to that
grade from subsequent dates as va
CancieS might occur.

People generally take all sorts of
