But the local boards do the initial

officer to achieve promotion under this

1T means efficiency and attention to
duty, and when It becomes perfectly
evident, according to examination by
local boards, that n man cannot be adj

similarly, then automatically the officer
will be- retired. IL there is anything
against his record, like dishonorable con-
duct cowardice or dissoluteness, he will
not be retired he will be dismissed the

who is not efficient enough to win pro-
motion will be retired.
Gen. March was questioned in regard

Then Gen. March reached the dues-

annual training OF the reserve called TO
the ooAors had been estimated at maxi
mum cost of approximately $4,000, 900.
Tho maintenance of the regular estab-
