NO PROMOTION
FOR OFFICERS IN
ACTIVE SERVICE
Secretary Baker Says Demo-
biIizing Of Troops Leaves
Excess Of Higher Officials
for All Army Positions.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Secretary
Baker Wednesday said the war depart
ment ~ pursuing a fixed policy in de-
nying all promotion to officers who
are on active service. The blanket
order OF Nov. II, cutting off promo
overseas, he indicated, will not be
modified and the only way in which
officers who have been recommended
for promotion can attain the advanced
rank is through the inactive list OF
the officers resrve corps.
Baker said the department was pro-
ceeding on the theory that with de-
mobilization a great many captains,
majors and officers OF higher rank
would be left unassigned. 1t Is re-
garded as wholly unnecessary from the
point of view Of the department, he
indicated. that any additional officers
in higher grade be created, as the
grade will more than meet all de-
mands.
There is no desire, however, TO cut
deserving men off from the honor that
goes with promotion, he said, and Of
ficers who were recommended for ad-
vancement before hostilities ceased will
be taken care Of as they enter the
reserve corps on discharge from their
present commissions Each will be
placed on the inactive list of the re.
serve in the advanced grade to which
he had been recommended.
Officers who intend to go into the
reserve are fully protected. in this way,
No provision has been made, however,
for those who do not enter the reserve
on discharge, but Baker said he saw
no reason why they could not accent
their advanced rank in the reserve and
then resign from the reserve corps.
