Promotion Inconsisteney. !

Emergency officers recently appoint
ed in the Regular Army are exhibit
ing a lively interest in the forthcom-
ing promotion list, which interest has
been heightened by the report that. as
arranged. it will be quite possible for
an emergency officer appointed a sec
ond lieutenant to become major be-
fore a brother emergency officer Is
appointed as a captain. This seems
at first glance so incredible as to
merit derision, but an analysis shows
that it IL difficult to interpret the law
in any other manner.
The reorganization law provides
that persons appointed as captains or
shall be placed on the sin
gle promotion list according to COM
missioned service rendered prior to
November II, 1918. and that "the place
Of any officer on the promotion list
once established shall not thereafter
be changed, except az the result OF
the sentence OF a court-martial." AS
be arranged by grades, it follows that
a newly appointed second lieutenant
will take his place upon the promo
tion list ahead of any newly appoint
ed captain who was commissioned an
emergency officer after the second
lieutenant received his commission.
The Army being short Of first lieu
tenants. it is assured that all second
neutenants who served. in the war will
soon be promoted to first lieutenants.
A longer period may elapse before
the next promotion. but hundreds of
former emergency officers will be still
serving as captains under their origi-
nal appointments to the Regular Army
when the second iieutenants OF today
become captains. This is due to the
fact that hundreds of Regular Army
officers from twenty-six to thirty
years Of age have recently been pro-
NOTED to majorities, and it will. be
years before any appreciable number
of majors will be promoted.

Due to the gradual relief from serv-

emit time about 200 vacancies. Mem
bership in the corps offers unusual
advantages at this time, the most i'm
portant Of which are relative rank as

plete uniform equipment and oppor-
tunities for study and travel. Army
nurses are also offered the advantage
of extended care in sickness. in addi-
ton to sick leave, together with in

amounts to thirty days a year. Visit

oped. According. to statement from
