NOT UNDER SENIORITY RULE.
Decision Affecting Enlisted Men Who
Are Made Officers.

The appointment of two enlisted men
of the D. C. n. G. as second lieutenants
brought up the technical question
whether they could properly be given
rank from the date when the vacancies
occurred. Judge Advocate General
Crowder rules not.
The rule which applies in the case
of promotions of officers by seniority
to give them rank as from the date the
vacancy occurred" says the Judge ad-
vocate general. docs not obtain In re-
spect OF appointments of second lieu

An officer promoted by seniority, he
points out, may be deemed to exercise

else the duties of the higher grade
from the date the vacancy occurred. An
officer appointed from the ranks cannot
exercise the duties of second lieuten-
ant until the appointment is made.

AGREEMENT ON MEXICO
Acting Secretary Polk Again Con.
fers With Senior Arredondo,
Carranza Envoy.

agreements to joint commission were
described as brighter today after

Closer to an Agreement.
The conferees found themselves
closer to agreement on the several
points which have delayed formal an
nouncement that Gen. Carranzas sug-
gestion for a commission would be ac-
cepted.
The Washington government wants
to widen the scope of the commission s
investigation beyond Gen. Carranza S
suggestion that it discuss withdrawal
of American troops: measures to pro-
tect American border interests from
bandits and the origin of raids.
Ways to Aid Mexico.

was able to assure Mr.. Polk today that
commissioners should also investigate
economic and financial relations be-
tween the two countries, with the hope
of finding means to aid Mexico In the
restoration of peace and order.
Whether compromise plan was pro-
posed which proved acceptable was not

believe, however, that as a result of

that a definite announcement will soon
