OPPOSED MAJOR
Protest to Congress Against Promotion
of Former Chief of Staff of

division. gathered at the YD club last
night, adopted resolutions protesting
to Congress the promotion of Lieuten-
ant Colonel Duncan X. Major, formerly
chief of staff Of the 26th division, TO
the rank OF colonel
The resolution protests because Of
the vicious and brutal way in which
ne acted towards the junior officers and
men OF this division during the war,
which indicates beyond all question his
unfitness TO be an officer of the United

men" and because of his proven hos
tility TO the citizen soldier. who under
our form Of government and our mill
tary policy now laid down, must be
the mainstay of our country in time
of war"
