LAUDS THE BANTAM SOL DER
British Medical journal Says the Little
Fellows Are Good for Trench
Work.

London.-That little men have many
advantages in war time over their
bigger brothers is an argument ad.
vanced in the British Medical Journal.
After expressing the view that 10000
have been lost to the army in the last
few weeks owing to the present high
standard, the journal says
mot little is to be said in favor
OF short infantry. Short men occupy
less room in transport. They find
cover more easily and offer a smaller
mark to bullets and shrapnel They
are better sheltered in trenches and
require to dig less deep trenches to
protect themselves.
1T takes less khaki to clothe them
and less leather to boot them. The
army blanket covers them more amply
and they need much less food than
tall, thin men to keep up their body
heat and maintain their marching en-
ergy.
Those who stand the rigors of cold
climates are not always big men and
the sailor, like the wind-swept tree on
the coast, may be a short man
Warmth and easy conditions of lh
rather tend to the development of tail
men.
1.-THE cavalry and artillerymen re-
quire to be big and powerful, but as
to those who burrow in the trenches.
how can it matter whether they are
four feet nine or five feet six? We are
not out for G show and a parade, but
to win a war of sieges and attrition."

Two Large Engines Building.

Two large Diesel engines being
built at the New York navy yard will
be ready for the fuel ship Maumee
late this winter or early next spring.
1t has not yet been decided whether
the Maumee shall be sent to New York
from the Mare Island navy yard, where
she is being built, or that the engines
shall be sent across the continent to
California. The engines are the most
powerful oil engines that have ever
been constructed.
One of them has had very salts
factory shop test and the other is
nearing completion. While is is now
generally believed that they will be a
success in the Maumee, and may be
used in merchantmen, the question of
their availability for warships has not
been answered. Experiments so far
do not indicate that oil engines will
ever find place in battleships. II is
questionable whether they will ever be
used in any other than freighters and
submarines.

The Roosevelt Personnel Board.

There was no meeting of the Roose-
welt Naval Personnel Board last week
and as a consequence the question of
staff officers of the Marine Corps was
not taken up. 1t is generally agreed
that the principle of promotion by Sc
lection viii be applied to staff officers
and the Marine Corps. The opinion is
held that it is as desirable for the Ma
rine Corps as for the navy. An at
tempt will be made to avoid the ere
alton of any board to pass upon the
eligibility of officers for promotion.
So far as possible this will be de-
termined by their efficiency record.
The question as to whether an officer
is to be promoted or not will be de-
termined largely upon the report of
his commanders. The chief objection
to the 'Plucking Board" was the fact
that the board was always open to
charges of being influenced by its per-
sonal prejudices. More time is being
devoted by the Assistant Secretary of
the Navy to the development of a sci
entihc system of selection for promo
tion than TO any other feature of the
proposed bill.
