Steps to retain permanently in the
Army officers from civil life who have
displayed marked ability in the serv-

staff. Plans for the rehabilitation of
officers are being shaped with that
end in view.
The first of the approximately 160.-

corps to be released will be those who
desire to sever their connection with
military life and return to the civil
occupations in which the war found
them. When the doors have been

will be given first consideration and
will be acted upon promptly. .--

Next will come officers who wish
