faith Of retired officers in matters Of

The retired officers, therefore, rebel.

that their time Will come hereafter.
They point very significantly 10 The
fact that ono Of The rcaspns given for

is 10 prevent the relief of all active Of
fccrs now on duty at the educational in

What Retired Officers Claim.
But retired officers claim that II is
not fair for tho active officers 10 assert
that If the extra officer bill is passed

for the simple reason that The primal
object Of the extra officer bill is 10 meet
the doplorablc condition of things III
the army caused by the absence of so
many active officers from their proper
places with the troops and all tho extra
officers being needed with the troops
none of them would be available for
school and state duty. Retired officers,
nevertheless, are hoping that the extra
officer bill viii be passed, and that when
Inc confusion over this matter is ended
and the additional officers are provided
for by act of congress, then the attitude
of the retired officer VIII he more fairly
Judged and the attitude of the authori'
lies wll be more liberal and consider

II Is safe 10 say that nearly one fifth

the other retired officers arc located a

for the army. he took up the various
recommendations Of the different mill

four of what he regarded rs the most

that those and those alone should be
