GARRISON MAKES
REPLY TO DUPONT

Washington, May 15.-Secretary of War
Garrison today sent to the Senate his
answer to Senator Duponts request for
the record of employment both in civil
and quasi military life of all retired Of
ficers of the army.
No record is required by regulations of
how retired officers are employed in
civil life, but Mr.. Garrison announced
that he had written to all officers and
would lay the information before the Sen
ate as soon as available.
The secretary stated that since January
/, 1903, III retired officers had applied
for active service and 107 had been de-
tailed there being no regulation or law
to prevent such detail.
According to the departments figures
there are 1925 officers of the army re-
tired, including on the list four lieutenants
general. 90 major generals and 229 briga-
oier generals.
The total pay of all such officers is
placed at 1868, so. The resolution was
designed to find if it We're not possible
to employ many retired Officers in work
of minor character now done by those
on the active list.
Action on the resolution probably will
not be taken for several months in view
OF Mr.. Garrison reply.
