senate the names of the new major
generals and brigadier generals OF
the United States army. As is already
known, comparatively few changes
were made in the list as sent over by
former President Wilson some time
ago.
1t was foregone conclusion that
Brig. Gen. Clarence r. Edwards
would be nominated as a major gen.
eral. Edwards case has been dis
cussed too frequently to need much
additional comment. AS soon as the
senate can act he will be confirmed
1t is irony, and perhaps cruelty, that

long friends, Omar Bundy, who was
named by Wilson for a place among
the major generals.
General Bundy, like Edwards. has
been a center Of comment, discussion
and dispute. He commanded divi'
sion in France and later was relieved
from his command. He had q won
derful fighting record before the last
war began and it was he who told the
French generals who wanted him to
order some of his men to fall back,
that Americans did not know how to
fall back. Bundy was praised and
criticized alternately for this action.
He is an Indiana man.
May Be Governor Of Porto Rico.
What is going to be done with Ed
wards now that he has been made a
major general Of regulars? Some
army men seem to think that he will
retire voluntarily. He has had ~
years Of service and can retire at any
time that he wishes. Others say mat
he will stick until the day that the
law forces him to 60 out on the sixty
fourth anniversary Of his birth. There
is rumor that President Harding
wants to make Edwards governor Of
Porto Rico. If this be true it may be
that he will accept. for some Of his
friends say that he would like the
job.
Maj. Gen. David @. shanks is the
only man promoted to the rank of
major general who did not see service
overseas, but ShankS did really ire
menaous work as chief of the port OF
embarkationI at HOboken. He tried
hard enough to get overseas, but the
authorities would not let him 60 be-
cause he was showing a perfect
genius for the work which he had In
hand.
Barring Edwards, the only new
name on the list Of promotions to the
rank Of major general is that OF
George Bell, Jr. He commanded a
division overseas and he did good
work. Moreover he has been In the
active military service Of his country
ever since March, 1876, when he en-
tered West Point as a cadet.
