Mr. Butterworth, from the commtttee on appro- Priations, reported back the army appropriation bill, with Senate amendments, recommending con- currence in some and non-concurrence in others of those amendments, Among the amendments in which non-concurrence 1s recommended Is that making army rettrement compulsory at the age of 64, instead of 62, as provided In the bill as tt passed ‘the House. Mr. Reagan moved to concur, elaiming that it was unjust and detrimental to’the service to re- tire an officer at the age of 62, regardless of his mental and physical condition. Mr. Butterworth opposed the Senate amend- ment. Gen. Sherman had said to him and to others that there was no question as to the propriety, fitness and necessity of the clause in the House bill. 5 Mr. McCook declared that Gen.
