II is probable that the revised order pre-
scrlblng regular physical exercise and the
annual physical test for army officers will
not be issued from the War department
until it has received the attention Of Ma
jor General Leonard Wood, after he shall
have assumed the duties of chief OF staff
Of the army. The draft OF the new order
has been submitted to the secretary of
war, containing some important amend
ments of the tentative order which was
subjected to trial and criticism on the part
OF officers at the army war college and
those on duty at Fort Myer and the army
schools at Forts Monroe, Riley and
Leavenworth. The secretary of war has
not lacked for information upon which to
base his modified order. Personally. he is
inclined to add to the exactions. 1t is
known that General Wood possesses some
decided opinions on the subject. and the
secretary of war desires to confer with him
before promulgating the new regulation to
the service.

Further consideration is to be given the
infantry equipment designed by the board
of infantry officers which has been in ses-
sion at Rock Island arsenal The descrip-
ton of this equipment was published in the
Army and Navy Register of May and is
made the subject of further comment and
special illustration in this number. Colonel
j. A. Duncan, Sixth infantry, acting chief
of infantry on the general staff, and the
infantry members OF the first section of the
general staff have been constituted a COM
mittee to consider the report of the infantry
equipment board and will make a supple
mental report to the chief of staff. In the
meantime, Captains NJ. B. Stewart, Eighth
infantry, and John L. De Witt, Twentieth
infantry, are at the army war college en-
gagged in the preparation of a manual ex-
planning the different parts of the equip
ment 1t is probable that the new equip
ment so far as may be, will be sent out to
several of the maneuver camps for trial
The experts recognize that that Is the most
satisfactory method to practically test the
equipment, since 1t will afford a reasonable
period during which the foot soldier may
become familiar with the outfit.
In the examination of disbursng ac-
counts Of paymasters of the army the
auditor for the War department raised the
question as to the right Of an army officer
promoted to fill a vacancy caused by the
retirement OF an officer of higher grade to
pay for the higher grade for the day on
which his predecessor was retired from ac-
tive duty. This is a practice of long stand
ing and 1t has only been recently that the
auditor indicated an irregularity, which
suspicion has now been confirmed by the
comptroller. That officer holds: "a va
cancy in an office does not arise until the
officer having the legal title to it ceases
legally to hold 1t. AS the laws do not
recognize fractional parts of a day in the
matter of retirements, promotions, and APP
pointments In the army, a vacancy caused
by an officers retirement from active SER
vice does not begin to run until the day
following his retirement, and l am of the
opinion that an officer promoted by sem
iority of receiving an original appointment
to fill vacancy caused by the retirement
from active duty of an officer Of the higher
grade is only entitled to the pay of the
higher grade from and including the day
succeeding the day the retirement of his
predecessor became legally effective with
the understanding, however that, If an Of
ficer receiving the original appointment in
the army accepts the same on a date later
tirement of his predecessor became legally
effective, he is only entitled to pay from
the date of such acceptance"
