ARMY AND NAVY NOTES
Hope That Congress Will Mod
ify Detached Service Law.
From The Tribune Bureau.I

Washington, january o.
ARMY DETACHED SERVlCE.-So
mulch pressure has been brought to bear
on Senators and Representatives TO
amend the existing law relating 10 oe-
tached service in the army that there ID
a chance Of a modification OF the re-
auirement that line officers below the
grade OF major shall serve one-third OF
their time with their respective compa-
MES. batteries and troops. TINS is the
law enacted at the close Of the last ses-
sion, which went into effect on December
10, and required a change OF station OF
nearly l. 30 officers, with an unprecedent-
ed draft on the mileage appropriation.
There was much confusion and many
officers were put to great and unexpected
expense in the transfers involved some
Of them who bad recently been ordereu
TO Europe for instruction at foreish
schools were summoned home and or
dered TO their commands because they
were not eligible for detached duty Many
Of the officers had far exceeded the period
OF absence authorized by Congress.
IL IL now proposed that duty performed
I'm connection with regimental battalion
and squadron STATS shall not be regarded
as detached service II IT were performed
prior to December IS. 1872. Ii Is propap'e
that the exclusion will not be extended
beyond that date. This will render avail
able for detached service about flve nun
dred officers who have already been re-
lieved and succeeded by other officers
10 M
make any changes Immediately. and most
Of the officers who have rejoined their
troops will remain with their commands.
Eigh. or ten will be ordered to the GEN
eral Staff were places have been un-
filed pending the possibility OF the modi-
fication OF the law.
The military authorities have been espe-
c,alIy DESTROYS that the exclusion should
extend to duty at the service schoos
either as instructors or as STUDENT OIL
GERS.
