CAPT. CONLEY NOT AVAILABLE.
War Department Unable to Assign
Him as Military Instructor.

The Maryland Agricultural College,
which has been without a military in
structor from the regular army since
the relief from that duty several weeks
ago of MAI John A. Dapray, U. s. A.,
retired, recently applied to the Secre-
tary of War for the detail of Capt
Edgar T. ConIey, 30th United States
Infantry. as instructor of military
science and tactics at that institution.
Capt. Conley had previously served
the college in that capacity. and as he
had given general satisfaction. the
collage authorities desired his return.
They have been informed, however,
that their wishes cannot be complied
with for the reason that Capt. Conley's
services are needed with his regiment
at Plattsburg barracks, New York. and
for the further reason that it Is against
the policy of the department to assign
officers on the active list above the
rank of first lieutenant to college duty.
1t is explained that the limitation of
rank does not apply in such details to
officers on the retired list. The Mary
land institution, 1t is understood, de-
sires to have the benefit of the services
of a young officer on the active list,
and 1t Is believed the directors viii ask
for the services of a first lieutenant OF
the line to head the military depart
ment OF the college.
