ARMY DELAY IN PICKING
STAFF CHIEF PUZZLES
Military Circles Speculate About
Decision to Await Sending Of
ficer List to Senate.

Military people are trying to solv,
the significance of Secretary Weeks
declaration that the detail of a chief
of staff of the Army will not be an
nounced until after the revised list
of general officers is sent to the
Senate. There is not a clear under
standing as to what the new nomi-
nations have to do with the detail
of a chief of staff, unless the new
list includes the name of a man not
not eligible in his present rank for
such detail.
AS explained at the War Depart
ment. all the present general officers
of the line. including Gen. Pershins.
nine major generals and thirty four
brigadier generals. are eligible under
the law for detail as chief of. staff.
and that list includes the names of
all the officers who have been men,
toned as possible appointees as chief
of staff. among them Gen. Pershing.
Gen. Harbcrd and Gen. Edwards.
The point is made that it is in the
power Of the President to detail a
brigadier general as chief of staff. #
of awaiting his promotion to the
grade of major general
In view of that situation, some
:rmy officers are inclined to the
belief that the President and the
Secretary of War may have, selected
dS CHiei VI Stdh dH oiHceT u lne
grade of colonel or below, and will
nominate him as brigadier general to
make him legally eligible for the as
signment.
The revised list of general officers
to fill vacancies to be nominated next
week includes the promotion of
twelve brigadier generals to be ma jor
generals and twenty-five colonies
and lieutenant colonels to be brigadier
generals.
The name OF Gen. c. r. Edwards
for promotion to major general has
been added to the original list that
failed of confirmation. but what
other changes have been made has
not been disclosed.
