1t is expected come time will elapse
before the embargo on Regular Army
appointments in the promotion list
branches Of the Army will be lifted.
Instructions were issued by the Secre-
tary of War several months ago pro-
hibiting any original appointments IN
the military establishment, because OF
the necessity OF keeping the yearly aver
age commissioned strength of the Army
within the limit Of $4,000 officers pre-
scribed in the appropriation act for the
1882 fiscal year. At that time, 1t was
thought that by July /. 1881, the be-
ginning of the 1882 fiscal year, the
situation might be such that the en-
barge on Army appointments could be
lifted
Until the issuance OF further instruc-
tons, no new appointments viii be
made In the promotion list branches of
the Army. Twenty-Five vacancies which
existed on July / and for which there
were qualified candidates on that date
have been filed. these appointments
being appcrtioned as follows: Medical
Corps, IT; Dental Corps, /: Veterinary
Corps. /; Medical Administrative Corps,
3, and chaplains, 3. Further appoint
ments In the promotion list services
have been suspended until further
orders. the anticipation OF which are
not expected for some time.
A new system Of infantry drill is in
the making and If 1t prevails, the time
honored column Of squads will pass into
the discard and in its place there will
be column of threes. No more will
the close order drill include the compli-
Gated evolutions Of squads right, left
and about. A simple right or left face
and a forward march breaks the line
into column for marching purposes.
For more than six months Capt. j.
LAwton Collins. Infantry, Of. the In
fantry School staff, has labored with
the details Of the new system and con-
Quoted the experiments which has
brought 1t up to its present point. Dur
ing the recent march of the 29th In
fantry from Fort Benning to Atlanta,
Col. Duncan X. Major. commanding
the formations of the new drill were ex-
perimented with extensively. and 1t Il
said that they met with an enthusiastic
reception from both officers and men.
Whether the system evolved by Capt
Collins viii be accepted by the Army
remains to be seen. It certainly pos
sesses merit and is wen worth. Of con-
sideration by those who have voice In
the final decision.

You suppose they are. And you

You'd like to say and do un-

And the eXasperating thing
is that you're sure that you, too,
could be different if you had

You're wrong. Fate hasn't
been holding you back. You've
had as much chance as the next
chap.
You haven't developed your
own pattern because you were
AFRAID and because you were
| LAZY.
Those different" people you
envy-they weren't given free
scope to develop their person
alities. The difficulties we're
not removed for their path,
. any more than from yours.
They ran risks by being differ
ent. People got mad at them
and laughed at them. People
muddled them with their tears.
But they went on BEING THEM
SELVES in spite Of everything.
They insisted on thinking their
own thoughts. They insisted on
planning their own liv.s.
Worth the Price
It meant loneliness and mis-
understanding =. sometimes it
meant malicious persecution
BUT THEY FELT TT WAS
WORTH THE PRICE.
And today you're envying

It always seems to be the

devoted love is the kind that
neither a man nor a woman

Many a mans shining and un-

light and greedy woman as a
means of extracting furs, dia-

worth much. It takeS the kind
of man who keeps her wondering

Many a splendid woman's
