All of the officers mentioned,
should they so desire. will prob
ably insist upon being returned 10
active service. and then their sue
cesscrs In Office, and SO ON down
the line, will likely have TO go
back to their old positions. This
In most instances would mean a
reduction In rank, and In some
cases officers will be retired to
civilian life.
Should General BrientnnlI be re-
stored TO his position as adjutant-
general, General SadIer would once
more become major and paymaster
OF the Second Brigndc staff. Major
Howard 4. Alexander, of Eliza
beth, who now holds that POSITION,
would be denoted to his own rank
of first lieutenant In the corps of
engineers, and Lieutenant George
w. Coyne, of Elizabeth, who sue
ceeded him, would be rclegatcd to
civilian ranks. Colonel James 5.
kiger, who was deputy adjutaDt-
general and. also chief clerk in the
Office of the ndjutant-general,
would again be placed ON he
active list, This would not rein
state him AS chief clerk, however,
Ms his resignation from that po-
sition was under an act passed

The retirement of General Congdon
inspector-general Will not in Itself
cause a mix-up, since General Congdon
has since accepted a commission as
Judge OF the Court of Errors and APP
peas. His successor, General Lewis 4.
Bryant, will therefore continue in his
present position. In the cast of Lieu
tenant-Coionel Charles Boltwood, of
Jersey City, who was assistant inspec-
.tor-general, the situation is different.
Should Colonel Boltwood be reinstated
the active list 1t would force Lieu
tenant-Colonel Robert L, Patterson, of
back to the position of
major on the Second Brigade staff.
Major James H.. Hays, jr., { Atlantic
City the present inspector-general of
the Second Brigade staff. would go
back to Company l., of the Third In
as first lieutenant. First Lieu
tenant Absalom S. Westcoat. of At
lantic City, would become second lieu
tenant of the same company. There
Is now a vacancy In that position.
The return OF Captain John r. Hilton,
IF the Fifth Infantry, will also result
n several changes. Should he be re-
stored he would displace Captain Viii
ner A. Cadmus, of Paterson, who will
again become first lieutenant in Com
oany B. of the Third Regiment. First
Lieutenant Henry A. Woodhead, of
Paterson, will become second lieutenant
If Company b., and Second Lieutenant
Frank P. Stagg, of Paterson, will be
again relegated to the ranks.
The restoration of Captain James L.
Marsh, of the First Infantry, as pay
master, will GUST Captain Gerrish
Newell, of Arlington, who win again
a civilian.
other Changes 10 Follow.
Should Captain William II. Howard,
the First Infantry, go back as ordi-
iance officer, he will displace Captain
Andrew b. Byram, of Newark. Cap
ain Byram will become first lieutenant
battalion adjutant and will dis
lace First Lieutenant Bert Patterson,
II Newark, who will become a civilian.
The reinstatement of Captain Cor
lelius E. Brett, of Jersey City, as cap
ain of the Fourth Infantry, will dis
lace Captain James Madison Hare, of
Jersey City, who was a civilian.
In the event of Major Robert L.
of Paterson, going back as
Judge advocate on the First Brigade
it would mean the displacement
Major Hobart futile, who would
again become major n quartermas-
er on the same staff. Major futile
would in turn displace Major Charles
Burgess, of Montclair, and this
would mean the displacement OF Major
II. Grant, of Summit, as in
jpector of small rms practise. Major
Grant would again become first lieu
enant on the corps of engineers, thus
n turn ousting First Lieutenant John
Fitzpatrick, Of South Orange, who
would be returned to civilian life.
