 Another rather outstanding type went out for lameness the second afternoon. A third one of the best from the standpoint of conformation, went to the bad at 9 a. m the third day at the end of 135 miles, and a fourth was so lame at the beginning of the fourth day. after covering 1S0 miles, that he was not started.
 Eight finished although two of them showed some slight lameness on the last two days. Only three horses out of all that started finished with out showing any signs of lameness in the test or at the finish and these were the only straight gaited horses

 Types varied as did blood and a careful study of all endurance tests so far held does not justify any one in claiming that any breed has a monopoly on the job of begetting good saddle horses possessing the en- durance> requisite to carry cavalry men with equipment over forced marches.

SIX GENERALS ON
 GOVT. RETIRED LIS1
Edwards Leaves at Once and Per.
 shing Within a Year

Washington, Aug 25.-Suggestions have been advanced by the War De- partment to four major and two brig adler generals of the army that, in view of their early retirement from the army under the age limitations fixed by statute, they make applica- ton for transfer from the active to the retired list. ."z
 In explanation of this action, it was learned yesterday that the voluntary separation of these officers, all of whom would be eligible for retire ment within about nine months, would make it possible for the army to retain a number of colonels and younger officers of lower grade who would otherwise be discharged by necessity due to the reductions in commissioned personnel directed by congress.
 Would Help Service.
 If the six general officers applied fer retirement without waiting until their brief time limits were reached, it was said, they would do the serv- ice a tremendous good by making possible the retention of a number of the younger personnel in junior commissioned grades
 The special board created to select the 1900 officers who must be sepa- rated from the service in accordance with the congressional verdict, 1t was learned, already has recommended more than 400 officers in the grades below colonel for separation, by re- tirement or discharge. The discharges and retirements of the 1900 officers must be completed prior to Jan. 1, 1923. The board is working on a schedule which calls for the conclu- sion of its selection work by next
New Britain herald., 1922-08-25
Dec. Is, in order to allow for UT avoidable administrative delays.
 Withholding Names.

It was pointed out that the law does not require reduction in the number of general officers. In mak- ing the reduction of officers however the War Departments policy includ- ed them in the grades from which the board will make its selections.
 Every effort is being made by the department to save the officers se- lected from any embarrassment such as might result from the public an- nouncement of their names. Instruc- tions given the board in this conN C. tion specifically said that under the circumstances separations from the service under the act of June 30, 1922, are regarded as honorable in every way and will not be regarded as stigmatizing an officer or his rec crd."
 Harbord to Succeed Pershine.
 Maj. Gen. Clarence R. Edwards, commander of the Department of the Northeast, and leader of the 18th (Yankee) Division overseas, is among those who have been asked to request retirement in order that younger of ficers may be kept on the rolls.
 A dispatch from Washington states that the senate has cleared the way for the president to appoint Mai- Gen. J. c. Harbord, deputy chief of staff, to the post of chief of staff up- or the retirement of Gen. Pershing, who will go upon inactive duty be- cause of age Limitations in another year. Gen. Harbord commanded the Marines overseas.
 Gen. Edwards entered the service ir 1883, three years before Gen. Pershing appeared, and he is older than his superior by nine months, having been born in Cleveland, O., Jan. 1. 1860.
