the home of Mrs. II. Niece, and per-
fected the organization on a practical
working basis, and committees were
appointed to visit every home in the
city with helpful suggestions to that
end. A county committee was APP
pointed, who will continue the work

BY Merit ONLY
PROMOTIONS NOT ON SEN,
IORITY-MERIT AND FIT
NESS ONLY.

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 20.-The
historic seniority rule for army pro-
motions was formally set aside today
to govern promotions in the national
army and national guard.
Officers of either the regulars, the
guard or the national army are held
to be equally eligible for temporary
appointment or promotion which
must be based solely on demonstrated
fitness without regard to seniority.
The new regulations make officers
interchangeable within their own
arms and grades in the service and
the list of reserve corps second lieu
tenants of the regular army is also
made available for appointment of
men in that grade TO the other
branches. Stress is laid on the de-
STABILITY of promoting men within
the unit in which a vacancy occurs
where this is advisable. In naming
second lieutenapts, commanders may
select non-commissioned officers or
officers of the reserve corps as they
deem best.
