satisfaction in one branch will be tried

TO measure up In any of the positions
will be subject to retirement on small
nav or discharged under the provisions
of a recent law. In an explanatory
statement the War department says:
The basic principle in making as
signments is to have the right officer
in the right place. The best interests
Of the service should always be para

il usually requires study Of the Off

he not show fitness for any branch,
then his case will be brought to the
attention OF the annual classification
