SIX GENERALS, IS
COLONIES RAISED
President Harding Approves
Record Peace-Time Promo
ton List in U. S. Army.

President Harding approved yes
terday the selection of six brigadler
generals to be promoted to MAJOR
generals and thirteen colonies to be
bricadier generals-the largest pro-
motion list of high ranking Army
officers ever announced in time OF
peace at one time.
Announcement that the President
had approved the selections was
made by Secretary Weeks, who said
that the nominations of the officers
named would be transmitted to the
Senate before the end of this year
and as vacancies occurred in the
grades affected.
The nineteen promotions were made
possible in part by the recent volun-
tary retirement of five major gen.
erals and two brigadier generals
from active service. which also made
possible for the Army to retain the
services of thirteen colonels who
would have been separated from the
service by the reduction in that grade
in accordance with act of Congress.
