Chairman Wadsworth and Senator
Mcclellan are to write letter to Sec
retary Weeks requesting the appoint
ment of a board of officers to study
the present arrangement OF omcers

ant on the promotion list. Senator
McKellar is insistent on the point
that the existing law works an in
justice to many officers in these
grades, and that something should be
done along the line of his bill to re-
lieve the situation.
The question of the equity Of the
present law in respect to junior Off :
Ger promotion is not finally settled
in the minds of a number of higher
officers. 1t is reported that Gen.
Pershing has quietly taken an in
terest in the subject and has con-
suited upon the subject Col: John
McA. Palmer. whose fairmindedness
and ability in military legislation is
perhaps paramount in Army circles.
Col. Palmer has expressed the opinion
that the subject would require deep
study and perhaps months Of time In
order to conclude definitely an opin-
ion. 1t is the expressed hope of a
number of junior officers that Col
Palmer will be selected to head the
board of officers who will make a

ATLANTIC CITY. N. j., May 21.
Georges Carpenter is evidently a
very cagey chap.
: From his decision to do his train
ing at Mahasset, L. I, in private,
I imagine that he has determined
to show as little as possible Of his
fighting style before he gets into
the ring with Dempsey. on July 2.
Members of the press, Of course,
will be welcome to watch the French
titleholder in his workouts, but !
doubt very much II he will uncover
any Of his favorite tactics in work
ing with his sparring partners.
He doesn't have to show every
thing. After years Of experience In
the ring he knows what he can do
and II / aE a good guesser he will
not lay q trump card on the table
HAS NERVOUS TEMPERAMENT.
From one viewpoint Carpenters
method of training in private 10 the
best for him. / am told that he IL
of nervous temperament despite the
cool, calculating style he IL said to
use in the ring. II this Ii true the
presence of daily crowds of curious
Americans would worry him.
No one on this side of the water
who has not seen Carpenter in any
of his important fights can Judge
his ability from what he showed
in the Levinsky bout In that Tight
he was not very impressive in that
he fought wide open. He Is reported
to have explained that he did this
to lure Levinsky into range for his
best punches. At any rata he
showed little or nothing by which
he may be Judged.
CARPENTER NEEDS WEIGHT.
Along the same line, those who
took Dempsey's showing against
Brennan to mean that the champion
is going back or that he has been
overrated are shooting wide Of the
mark. Neither of these nights must
be taken seriously in drawing COM
rarisons between Dempsey and Car
pentier.
Within a few days hope to visit
Carpenters camp. 1 intend to wait
until he starts something. though
am eager to see him in ring costume.
They tell me he looked . little weary
and chalky when he landed from La
Savoie, but that he is Weighing 175.
I believe he will need all the weight
he can carry into the ring against
Dempsey without hurting his speed.
and i imagine he will train to this
end. His training methods, therefore,
will differ in some respects from those
of Dempsey. who will take or q few
pounds.
The champion Is enjoying his stay
down here. He is keeping his cheer
full frame of mind and still working
