the recommendation of General Leonard

rid Of incompetent army officers For years
there has been discussion OF system or
elimination, "a proposition which has caused
considerable apprehension among officers
who entertained the belief that any process
by which officers are separated from the

The new ruling will have the wholesome

competent The Secretary of War; how
ever in his annual report adheres 20 HIS
recommendation that there should be a
law which will allow the War Department
to eliminate officers on the same plan
which has been adopted in the Navy De-
rartment. There each year board ot
rear admirals selects n certain number q
officers of various grades for retirement IN
order to create a certain number Of va
cancies each year. This is done with the
desire of having a regulated flow % pro-
motion, and Secretary Dickinson believes
the same process could be adopted for tho
army with benefit.
Most army officers object to this method,
a. do navy officers. on the ground that
the retirement Of the officers is by selec-
tion and is apt to reflect discredit upon
those who are selected out. There would
be no objection to elimination by law II II
could be made solely for the purpose OF
helping promotion. but there is decided OBJ
lection when such elimination Is based on
the declaration that officers are inccmpe-
tent That characteristic is, as has been
remarked by the officer quoted, difficult
one to ascertain. II is much preferable, in
the minds OF most officers, that there
should he an age in grade retirement
,hat Is, when an officer remains in cer'
tain grade until ne reaches specified age
he should be automatically transferred 10
the retired list as are all army officers
when they reach siXty-four years of ase
and naval officers when they become sixty
two years Of age.
