McCu!jy OF the regiment Z Vh!.cct my
boy is And by the way, that reminds
me OF one thing I heard which struck
me as being a sensible thing on the
part Oi the war department. 4 second
lieutenant of one of the companies
had made application for assistant
paymaster IN the navy, and had been
accepted, but when he sent in his
resignation from the army the de-
partment would not accept it, on the
ground that it would not be right
to train mnn for the army and then
let them resign and go into the navy
And that strikes me as sensible rul-
ing. And by the way further. for this
vacancy the commanding officer anu
the commander-in- chief had selected
a "top'' sergeant from another comps-
ny and was going to make him second
lieutenant over the "top" sergeant
of the company in which tn vacancy
would have occurred And in the race
of and under the protest of the cap
tain of the company AL that wasn't
right as l see it, but then they nave
peculiar rules in the army ana It IS
not what you want or what IS right,
but what the order is that counts.
The boys are looking good and ~seem
to be faring we'll and are just waiting
the orders of the department. The
impression seemed to be that they
would be ordered to France before
Christmas, but they do not know any
more about it than any one else. The
companies are way below the war
strength and I suppose Will be filed
from the new army and then there Will
be more training necessary I saw

but inquired about them and the re-
port is that they are all we'll and Co
