OUARTERMASTER
IS RETIRED

Washington, Sept. 2.-Major Gener-
al James B. Aleshire, who has been
quartermaster general of the army
since July 1. 1907. appeared before a
retiring board yesterday at his own
request and was recommended for re-
tirement because of physical disabili-
ty.
General Aleshire was appointed a
cadet at military academy from Ohio
in 1876 and was q classmate and
close personal friend of General
Goethals.
The general was largely instru-
mental in bringing about the amalga-
nation OF the commissary and pay
departments with the quartermaster's g
department and his present state of
i'll health is attributed directly to the
extraordinary demands upon his
strength involved in the Organization
Of the present quartermaSters corps.
