HUNDREDS OF ARMY
OFFICERS TO SHIFT
New Order Affects Many-Some
Regard 1t as Hardship, But
Critics Are Pleased.

WASHINGTON, November l5-The
most extensive shift in tho assignment
of army officers in the history of the
service will have taken place before
December Is, as result of the pro.
vision in the new army bill requiring
that no officer shall be absent from
his line command for longer period
than two years in every six years. In
order to adjust the assignments to
comply with this section $40 officers
will be transferred within the next
month.
Major General Leonard A. Wood,
chief of staff, has worked for several
months readjusting the assignments so
that the department will strictly COM
ply with the law in this respect. Under
the Interpretation of the law by the
judge advocate general it was found
that there was no alternative but to
order the transfers.
A Standing Grievance.
While the law is unquestionably re.
gaIded by many of the officers person.
ally affected as working hardship
upon them and an injustice to the serv,
ice, it will remove standing grievance
of many years among department, post
and regimental commanders. Many OF
the grizzled critics of bureau influence
and war department favoritism will
chuckle in glee.
A good story, which was told for
the first time in Washington today
comes out of the west, illustrating the
extent to which "leavesn and ode
tached for special duty" were some
times carried under the old regime.
Colonel Cornelius Gardener, com
handing the Sixteenth United States
infantry at San Francisco, was a few
years ago in temporary command OF
the largest post in the United States
service, Fort William Mckinley, Just
| after the accident that placed on the
retired list General W lnfield Scott Edg
erey, who came to his star after q
brilliant career almost wholly with the
Seventh Regiment.
Noted as Disciplinarian.
Colonel Gardener is particularly not
ed as a disciplinarian. He found mnny
organizations shockingly short of senior
officers. In the case of one battery OF
artillery shavetail'' represented the
closest approach to straps" Colone
Gardener made report in which he
drew attention to this state of affairs
asking if, in the opinion of the chief
of staff, second lieutenant was able
80 command battery. The report went
through regular military channels
reaching the estado mayor, Manila
next day, where Major General John
4 -
San Francisco, was G. o. c. of the de
paItment OF Tucson. To Major Gen
eral Wood, now chief of the genera
staff, "Jack" Weston sent on the re
port with this Endorsement:
"lf doctor can command division
grocer a department, and junior
captain be eligible for promotion ia
brigadier general, / see no reason why
the second lieutenant should not give Il
good account of his battery"

Tacoma News Notes.

Wheat-The situation continues one
of comparative quiet, and, in the alb
sence of any business of consequence
on export account, there has been an
easing off in quotations of nominal mo-
ment. At the moment Liverpool is a
trife frmer, based upon reports of
damage in the Argentine, due to exces-
sive rains, but the character of such
fluctuations are so indefinite, as has
been evidenced in the speculative
course of values under crop develop
ments at home, that very little inhu-
ence has been exerted in changing val
ues, though the substantiation of re-
ports of deterioration would undoubt-
eddy prove of moment in the future.
There have been no sales of conse-
quence during the past week or two.
There are still good shipments going
forward to Japan, with one house hav-
ing engagements for shipment of 5000
tons to that destination next month. A
little business has passed for the west
coast of South America, the next south
ern steamer having bookings for car
rying something like 5000 tons, while
a number of cargoes have been placed
for transatlantic shipment, but this is
largely business that has been worked
for some time The freight situation
shows no marked change Steamers
are still holding around sos for United
Kingdom, with sailing vessals 42s Cd
nominal.
Prices have been declined lie from
previous rulings, at sic for bluestem
and use for club. The movement to
tidewater is still relatively light based
upon current crop estimates, aggregat-
ing $50 cars for this point during the
week.
Flour-There is very little change IN
the situation. New business is not
being placed in any considerable vol
ume, according to current reports, the
condition being depressed by the hold
ing off of buyers and the fact that
deliveries are hard to guarantee under
present transportation conditions.
There are reports of cutting prices to
some extent in order to stimulate de-
mands for patents, though open quo
tations show no change from previous
rulings
