CORRECTING BAD MISTAKE.

Congressman Anthony's explanation
Of the unlntended consequences dis
covered In the Army appropriations
law. a reckless and ruthless reduction
Of the oflicera' corps, ID OF less interest
and importance than his admission
that Congress made a mistake, and his
readiness to have It corrected before
too late.
He charges tho War Department
With laundering when. AZ no declares.
1t induced the conference committee to
accept a certain hastily drawn amend
ment to the intended provision. He
blundeCed himself. as he acknowledges,
when without due Study OF the effect
OF this change he told the House that no
moro than six hundred limo officers
would have to be forced out OF tho eerv-
Ice. The bill was passed with tho House
supposing that to be a fact. The
fact. however, IL that moro than thsr-
teen hundred veteran officers will be
driven out Of thoir profession, II the
error Ia not corrected.
Tho relieving measure which Mr..
Anthony has drawn may be expected
to pass without serious objection In
either branch. But while the hard
ship which tho carelessly enacted pro-
vision would do will be substantially
reduced. Injustice will not be remov-
ed. Some elk hundred oflicere
Will have to go. regardless OF tho con-
tract the Government, In effect. made
with them. In 30 far as the ejeotione
are not FOR due cause; as for inefllclen-
cy or Interpretation for their duties
This ripper" law Is unsound and
unprinclpled; unfair to officers with
honorable records In war, injurious e
tho morale OF the Army. and lacking
in confederation for the nations inter.

checking mistaken feature Of II. Con.
