vision commander.
Data now Is being gathered showing

lions will be drawn by General Plum
mer and forwarded to Washington.
No intimation Of who these officers
will be has been made and probably
will not be made until after action has
been taken by the war department.
There probably WILDE number OF
Des Moines officers included in the
list. it is said.
The effect Of promoting the officers
now assigned means that those men
who entered the service under the Sc
lective draft law and have been ap-
pointed non-commissioned officers will
be commissioned as soon thereafter
as possible to I'LL vacancies caused by
the promotion in rank Of those to be
recommended soon by General Plum
mer.
The non-commissioned officers will
not have to attend the officers train
ing school to be opened January at
the cantonment before receiving their

men who now are noncommissioned
officers will receive their commission
before spring.
