Judge Advocate General Crowder
Rules on Detached Service Officers.

Actual presence for duty with troop,
battery or company is required Of every
officer Of the mobile army below the
grade of major who has been absent
four years out of the preceding six by
operation of the much discussed de
tached service provision of the new
army bill. This is the construction
given to the phrase absent from COM
mand' by Judge Advocate General
Crowder. He submitted his opinion yes
terday to the Secretary of War.
The law becomes effective December
Is. Officers stationed at the War De-
partment to the number of about $50,
are among the approximately 600 army
officers who are effected by the require
ment These will go back to their COM
mands Immediately.
No immunity is extended. under the
law, to officers stationed at legations
abroad as military attaches. or on re-
cruit and prison duty, or with service
schools. Superior officers who fail to
return subordinates to their commands
within the required period will lose pay
and allowances until the law is COM
piled with.
The sentiment is strong in the service
Gen. Crowder learns from reports that
he quotes, that continued detached serv-
ice IS an evil that has greatly impaired
the efficiency OF the army.

granted he had stopped to collect rents
and thought nothing about it until he
was informed Of the suicide. In addition
to the letter left for DIR. Talbot. there
was package of papers. DR.. Talbot
thinks they probably are of a business
character and that perhaps the package
also contains cash. Mr.. Cissefs father
is on his way home from Pittsburgh, and
relatives were unable to locate him.
The deceased, who was forty~two years
old, was a son of w. H. H. Cissel, who
was in the milling business in Georgetown
