FROM PRIVATE TO GENERAL
Enlisted Man in U. S. Army Has Nine
Steps to Climb Before He
Arrives at the Top.

The private soldier, standing at the
bottom Of the army stairs, has nine
steps to climb before he arrives at
the top, q general. His first promo
ton Is to corporal and the next to
sergeant. He is elevated to these
grades by his regimental commander.
The next step to commission bear
Ing the presidents name was former
ly the most difficult to negotiate, but
thanks to the army's pressing need
of officers it is now fairly easy to
take for men who honestly possess
the qualities necessary to make the
right kind Of officers, says Richard
Smith in Leslies.
After he becomes q second ieuten-
ant time and opportunity will give
the soldier his first lieutenancy and
later q captaincy. Next he becomes a
major. Directly above the major
stands the lieutenant colonel, who is
one grade below q colonel. At the
top, for final reward, is q generals
star.
Easy as the ascent seems to the
laymen, q superficial examination Of
the facts will prove it a difficult
climb, but by no means forlorn hope.
Witness the fact that one Of the most
caste-controlled armies in the world,
the British, has at its head a general
in chief who began as ranker. Even
on q peace footing enlisted men of
ability in our army have been able to
secure commissions through study
and application to duty. On a war
basis this opportunity is much greater.

dry, give the floor coating of orange
