PLANS TO LIST
ITS WARRANT OFFICERS

Consideration has been given by
the War Department to the matter
Of including the names of warrant
officers of the Army in the direc-
tory and register, which has here
tofore been restricted to commits
stoned officers of the regular army
only. The Navy includes warrant
officers in it's official directories.
The acute shortage OF funds
allotted for printing has heretofore
prevented the listing of the Army
warrant officers. The need for in.
cludinR warrant officers was SO
acute three years ago, that the war
rant officers published a directory
'at their own expense, copies of
which were sent to all organiza-
tions OF the service.
Warrant officers of the Army
rank next to cadets of the military
academy. and have the allowances
of second ieutenants. The warrant
officers are governed by the same
retirement laws as the commits
stoned officers.
