Efficiency of the Army.
On the recommendation of Gen. Carter.
acting chief of staff Of the army. Gen.
| Oliver, acting Secretary of War. today re
vOked the order requiring reports to be
made of the comparative efficiency Of the
various organizations of the army. In
der the old system. which was lnaugu-
rated three years ago, commanding Off
GERS were required to report the compare
tive efficiency OF the companies. battal-
lions and regiments under their command.
The practice has not worked successfully
and proved to be more or less ObjectiOna-
BILE not only to the commanding officers,
but also to the various organizations, es-
ne ially In the matter of efficiency rat
ings. The cancellation Of the order I'M
doubtedly will be gratifying to the army
at large.
