he will be placed upon the volunteer
foreign service roster only upon his own
request, and will be removed therefrom
only upon similar request. When an
officer is ordered to foreign service, his
name will automatically be removed
from the volunteer roster.
Under the new policy, no officer will
be selected from the volunteer foreign
service roster to fill position requiring
special qualifications unless he has the
required qualifications, and neither will
selection be made of an officer from the
volunteer roster for foreign service
before he becomes available for change
of station under the length of tour of
duty policy. The interval between tours
will be three years as prescribed in the
regular roster. 1t is felt that the estab-
lishment of this new foreign service
roster policy will fill long needed want,
as it will enable the War Department
to select Army officers for foreign gar
rison duty who really desire foreign
service.

land, changed in designation to Fort
Leonard Wood by War Department
order. will be hereafter known as Fort
George II. Meade The incident constl-
tutes one of those rare instances where
the designation of military post has
been made by act of Congress and not
by departmental order There has been
much speculation as to the reason and
responsibility for this change. This Is
especially so as the commanding officer
of the present Fort George G. Meade
had been informed by the widow OF
Gen. Wood that she desired to present
to the post portrait of her husband
as something suitable to complete the
commemoration attempted by the War
Department and defeated by Congress
in the title of the station. The change,
it is understood. was made on the per-

DOWN THE LINE
WITH w. O. MeGESHAN-

bored by 80 many lugubrious bouts Of
the nature Of the Sharkey- Striking
thing that they are entitled to q few
laughs to brighten their drab existence.
A double knockout in a contest
OF this sort might recompenSe the
customers for all the suffering they
have endured at the other heavy
weight contests. OF course, extraor-
binary precautions would have to
be taken at contest Of this nature.
1t could not be held In any ordinary
arena or base ball park, because the
danger to those within q quarter of
mile OF the ring would be too great.
My suggestion would be 10 have this
falling contest held on the floor Of
the Colorado Canyon. The spectators
could be stationed on the top of the
walls Of the canyon and could peer
down at the towers, who would be
visible, even from that distance to the
most astigmatixed eyes. All danger To
the customers would be obviated by
this arrangement, but II the Leaning
Tower of Gorgonzola and the Tall
Tower of the Argentine should fall
simultaneously the debris probably
would block the course of the Colorado
River. However, this in time could be
removed by the use Of dynamite.
II the towers are regarded as pos
sible contenderS for the heavyweight
championship, this would be an ef-
fective way Of eliminating them and
making them stay eliminated. The
trouble with these elimination contests
is that, while all the heavyweishts, with
the exception of Schmeling, have been
eliminated, they refused to remain
eliminated. What is the use of elm
nation unless II 10 made permanent?
