Clarence ards, avho, it virtually has been announced, is to be appointed and confirmed as a ajor general of the regular army as soon as congress convenes and the President and the senate can act. i - This Edwards case is one of several lcases of general officers of the Ameri- can army who were sent back from TFrance with no reason assigned for the orders returning them to home fduty. Every one of the cases has caused comment, some of it caustic, und not a few charges have been made that injustices were done in several instances. { Edwards has long been a figure in the regular army. For years he was the chief of the bureau of insular af- fairs, a position which is held by a regular army officer with a brigadier general’s rank. Edwards, who is an Ohio man by birth and by bringing up, was made a brigadier general in the regular army by President Taft. Al- most as soon =g the United States en- tered the w. he was made a major general of national army and sent to New kagland where le trained New England troops, andlater led’ them across the sea. ! ‘l Sent Home Without Explanation. At the time that he was made a mnjor general, Edwards was the ranking brigadier general in the regu- lar army. He commanded his divi- sion In several fights on the other side, nnd then suddenly and without “ex- ylanation was sent back to the Uni- ted States, New England proceeded to protest and it has been protesting ever since. Not long ago many junior officers in the regular army were made major generals, every one of whom was Jumped over Edwards’ head. This raised more of a row, especially §n New England where the Ohloan koldier's genius for getting at the hearts of his men and making every enlisted man feel that he personally was known to his chief, had endeared dim to every muan who served under him. i A8 § i | The administration.which conducted the war, and the administration of the army, that is, the general staft, knew—for it must have sensed the fact—that as soon as the mew admin- istration came in something would be done for Edwards, Now it is known that he is to be nominated as a major general of the regular army, I8 to bhe confirmed by the sepate and is to be sent to command one of the most im- portant posts of the United States, that of the Pacific cosst. . Washington is wondering if, when ¥dwards® name comes up for confirma- tion in the senate, the whole contro- versy over the removal of major gen- erals of the American army {rom command In France while the fighting was going on will be opened up for discussion, and if the trth In each case will be forthcoming. 1f so, there will be some mighty intemesting read- ing, and a perfect mess of charges and countercharges The Case of General Shanks, | Brig. Gen. David C. Shanks is the officer who commanded at ‘the port of embarkation at Hoboken, ' N. J. He shipped two or three millions of men, and the commissary and quarter- master only know how mamy tons of supplies, overseas withow “a hitch.

General Shanks was nuaminated re- cently as a major general in the reg- ular army. With others he was not confirmed, and now he is a birigadier general again. While he was still-a major general he wgs sent td super- sede Edwards in the command,in New. England, for Edwards hid - been shipped over to New Jersey %o serve under a former junior. Shanks took a‘leave while he was stationed' in Bos- tom, and it was.while e was on_ leave | . that the senate failed to. confrm his ! appointment as’ major general. = So to- day he finds himself in a'peculiar posi- tign.

Here in America we are ‘quite like- ly te take for granted that if a man has a good educatlon, then. his finding of an opportunity to apply it profit- ably is a comparatively simple matter. Certainly our whole educational pro- gram, and especially our whole line of educational appeal and propaganda, will have to be changed the moment that assumption is no longer to be made, Whiting Willlams writes in Scribner’s. “Equip yourself, Young America, and the country’s yours!” we say in effect to our youth whether in school or at work. In Britain there s much testimony to the effect that that assumption is not thus to be made. Unless they spend additional years training for medicine, the law, or oth- er of the professions, graduates of the universities must pretty much expect to find herths in the civil service. The exams for that are extremely difficult. Those who come -out of them with marks at the top of the list get the best of the positions in the most im. portant departments at home, They next go out to India or other provinces, while those below them take the sec- ond grade of the places here—and s0 on. The pay-starts at sbout:£300 (noml- nally $1,600, and ceasiderably more in buying power), with gradual yearly in- creases up to a certain maximum and a pension.
