THINNING ARMY OFFICERS.
Secretary Weeks Wants to Eliminate In
eompetents from Military Service.

WASHINGTON. June 6-Secretary
Weeks has issued orders to the heads of
all branches of the army. calling for the
elimination of officers who do not meas
ure up to military standards of efficiency.
Under the instructions given, officers who
cannot give satisfaction in one branch
of the service will be tried out in some
other branch. and those who fail to meas
nre up i'm any of the positions to which
they are assigned will become subject to
discharge from the army or retirement on
small pay under the provisions of re-
cent law.
In an explanatory statement, the war
department said in part:
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 paramount
in deciding this question, and it usually
requires a study Of the officers whole
record to determine ii.
There is now a law providing for the
elimination Of inefficient officers, and the
blame must rest entirely upon the army
if we retain this class of officers on ac-
tive duty"
