Baker Will Ask
Staff Promotions
Secretary to Urge That De-
partment Heads Be Made
Major Generals
lSt,r Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 The
threatened controversy between the
line and the staff of the army because
of the inequitable distribution of pro-
motions, resulting from the great ex-
pansion in the military establishment,
has been settled by Secretary Of War
Baker.
II had been rumored that Mr.. Baker
himself was the stumbling block in
the way of staff promotions, but it was
learned authoritatively to-day that the
contrary is the case. A memorandum
over the Secretary's signature has been
sent the head of each stan bureau
and department instructing these OIL
GERS TO prepare Immediately draft OF
the legislation deemed eXpedient or
necessary in order that staff promotions
NAV be consummated as quickly as
possible.
These drafts will be combined into
a bill which will be submitted TO Con-
gress with strong recommendation
from the War Department for lmme-
diate action. Mr.. Bakers memoran-
DUN contains an appreciation OF the
labors of the staff corps which IS un-
usual in it's language, He states his
belief that "all progress" made up TO
date in military preparation IS the
result of the efficiency of the officers
on duty with the staff corps and to
their accomplishing attention to duty
under most discomforting conditions,
and he warmly compliments the OIL
GERS concerned for the unbroken list
Of successes TO their credit.
The legislation to be submitted un-
doubtedly will include provision
raising the heads of the staff depart
ments to the rank of major general.
The adjutant general. inspector gen.
eral, Judge advocate general, quarter
master genera 'n cSisf sicnaj s oF;cer
and, possibly, chief of the Bureau of
Insular Affairs will be held by officers
with the rank Of major general.

Famous Regiments
May Save Old Names
War Department Striving to
Preserve Identity of National
Guard Commands

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-Recogniz-
ing the value TO military morale OF the
long established regulations held by
certain National Guard regiments, such
as the seth and ODD New York, the
War Department will make every eff
fort 10 preserve the identity Of such
units in the reorganization now under
way.
1t is probable, however, that the
peculiar characteristics which nave
distinguished many of these organlza,
lions for half a century or more Will
he lost with their distinctive designa-
tions as result of consolidation with
other regiments. This consolidation is
necessary that the new commands may
be of the strength required under the
new system. For the regiment this
means the difference between 1000 and
5000 men.
Another feature of this consolida-
ton which is causing anxiety among
National Guard officers is the fact that
there will be a large surplus" of regl-
mental and company officers remaining
when the reorganization Is complete
The old style division required nine
colonies, nine lieutenant colonies
twenty-seven majors and los each OF
captains, first leutenants and second
lieutenants. The new division calls for
only four colonies, four lieutenant
colonies. twelve majors and thirty-two
of each rank Of company officers. This
shows a surplus Of 253 officers per
division.
Special boards are at work at each
National Guard camp examining Off.
GERS to determine their efficiency and
fitness to be continued with the reor-
ganized division. Those who do not
come up 10 the required standard will
be dropped; in other words, their resig-
nations will be accepted. But there
will remain more than sufficient for
the needs of the division.
The extra officers probably will be
assigned TO reserve or training units
or will be placed on a waiting list.
The 200 new officers who were sent 10

first officers reserve training camp

the division is ready to embark. Their

IL speaks well for the adaptability

For once, moving day had no terrors.
Men who as civilians changing abodes
would have required the service of ex-

Gent unto the occasion. A bed sack

Day of Fitting
Most of the day was devoted TO uni

draws near Under the old slap-dash,
-. nou
been necessary only for the company
commanders to requisition the needful
number of outfits. There was stand
ard table, constructed on the principle
that the average company will require
Just so many of this size of shoe and
hat and breechcs and blouse, and so
many of that; and the men were left
to work out distribution for them
selves, swapping around until each man
had the clothing that came nearest to
fitting him.
But the National Army, going into
the Old World as a body truly repre-
sentative of the democracy and the
ideals Of the New, is destined to be a
well-cared-for crowd. Clothing and
shoes of assorted sizes were delivered
to each occupied barracks by the
quartermaster's corps, and every man
got q regular try-on. To see that all
fits were good fits, there were plenty of
tailors and clothing statesmen among
the men themselves, and shoe clerks,
too. So that lust your size, and the
style might have been built for YOU
meant something.
1t was only for few minutes that
each man looked the soldier, for when
the fitting was done the samples"
were bundled back to the quartermas-
ter stores. But the acquisitions have
gone in, and probably by tomorrow
night at least part of the first five
per cent will be in olive drab.
