The military authorities are giving care
full attention to the questions created by
the clause in the act of March 3,
1911, providing the means for adjust
ing the rank of those army officers
who were adversely affected by the
former system of regimental promo
ton. No law has produced so many
troublesome problems. as was to be eX-
pected by the very nature OF the situation.
One question, settled by the secretary Of
war, has to do with the detail to duty with
the permanent staff corps OF those Off
GERS who are now carried as additionals
in the line. Another more general, question
has to dc with the duties to which these
officers, Or the surplus officers, whether
additionals or not, may be assigned, notably
in the case of the colonies, who exceed the
demand upon that grade for rsgimental
command. Connected with this problem is
the question OF how the surplus officers
shall be carried on the register. One propo-
sition is to regard them as unassigned"
whenever an officer is not on regimental
duty, Notwithstanding the fact that he may
be on other duty quito as important. The
objection TO maintaining an unassigned
list" arise, in part, from the impression it
Is apt to convey of too abundant leisure
on the part OF the officers whose names
are borne on such list That fate must
befall the officer who is not an additional
number and who may be on staff duty and
whose regular place at the head of regi-
ment Is taken by an additional colonel.
These and other aspects OF the situation
relating TO these officers are now before
the secretary Of war for his decision.

The presence of so large a force of troops

study of the question of service of supply,
and the subject has been taken up in a
practical way by orders of the chief of
staff of the army in order to ascertain If
1t is necessary to introduce any improve
ments in the existing plans for the sys-
tematic supply OF the army when in the
field. The officers assigned to this work of
observation. and improvement are Colonel
John T. knight of the quartermaster's de-
partment, who is on duty in the quarter
master generals office; Captain Frank s.

who is on duty at the Army War college;

The War department now has undcr

ty-hour search, in which the Bran
ford river was very vigorously search
ed, the body Of Mary Crowley, better
known as Mollie Crowley, who COM
mitted suicide early Saturday morn

John Doyle, John Ahern, Philo Lins-
ley, John Barrow. Edward Regan,
Thomas O'Neil, John Crowley and
John Sullivan, fastened together four
rowboats and searched the river with
rakes and hooks.
Miss Crowley had been i'll for some
time and had frequently shown signs
Of dependency. She ran away from
home, where her mother was i'll, Sat-
urday morning, lightly clad, and dis
appeared. The body was found in
ten feet of water about twenty feet

Of the bill will be Marshall Mont

The added feature will be Agnes

anniversary OF KING
JAMES, TRANSLATION
OF BIBLE YESTERDAY

Yesterday was observed in many
puIpits as the tercentenary anniver-
sary Of the King James translation
Of the Bible, the day having been set
apart for that purpose by request Of
the American Bible society. For near
ly 800 years the. authorized version has
been to Protestants what the Douay
version has been to Catholics; and
apart from it's spiritual force 1t has
been regarded as the greatest piece Of
English literature extant. Changes in
our language have compelled other re-
visions in late years, notably the Eng
lish and American revisions, and the
Oxford revision, not yet published,
which will simply substitute new for
obsolete words and expressions and
where the meaning Of word has
changed.
With all the revisions, a large part
of the Christian world cling to the
old. version with tenacity. Especially
is this true with the Church Of Eng
land and it's American prototype, the
Protestant Episcopal church.

PRESIDENT CALLAN
CALLS EAGLES FOR
STATE FIELD DAY

A mass meeting Of all the members
of Bridgeport Aerie, F'raternal Order
of Eagles, has been called by Presi-
dent William H. Callan for next
Thursday evening, for the purpose of
making plans to attend the annual
state field day Of the order in Dan
bury, on Saturday. July 1, and also
to arrange for a big class initiation
to take place on the afternoon of Sum
day, May FL, when the state officers
will be present.
Next year the state field day will
take place in Bridgeport and 10000
visitors will be entertained here. In
the Danbury field day Bridgeport will
try for three prizes, the largest num-
Der of men in line, for making the
best appearance and in the exempli-
f1cation of the degree work of the or
der on the evening prior to the field
day. Last year the Bridgeport Eagles
won the prize for having the largest
number of men in line but adopted no
marching uniform.
There is such great interest in the
Danbury field day that novel uniforms
are already being considered and fully
1000 will go from Bridgeport. Cap
tain Edward j. Joy, one of the best
military tactttians in the city, is drill
ing the degree team weekly to get in
shape for the contest at Danbury.
Things are booming among the
Eagles. Architects are now submit
ting designs for an extensive remodel
Ing of the first floor of Eagles hall,
on which it is proposed to expend
$4,000. A permanent meeting cham
Der with elaborate appointments, at
tractive stations for officers, series
OF private offices for the president,
secretaries and treasurer, will also be
provided. The new lodge room will
be rented out to other societies when
not in use by the Eagles.
President Callan is devoting a great
deal of his time to the affairs of the
order. The membership is now 1900
and the head of it is kept busy with
many matters. He is at the hall four
and five nights a week The amount
Of work which the officers are called
upon to do keep all of them busy. The
relief work among the members is ex-
tensive for the Eagles is prima rily
benevolent order. There is a base
ball team composed entirely of men,
bers and state league has been
formed. President Callan has some
interesting plans for the summer
which he will announce later.

comedy of New York life. 1t was
written by Geraldine Bonner, the well

into the fashionable weakness of hui

handled in a new play with novel
