The proposed transfer of the signal service to the Agricultural department seems to meet with the general approval of the officers of the signal corps. Thetr only objection to 1t 1s that it doesn’t gofarenough. While the present militaay status of the corps is retained in the proposed transfer, {he second eutenants of, the service are strongly in favor of some legisiation which will eventually transfer them to the line of the army. One of the heutensnts, in speaking to a Stax reporter to-day, expressed the wishes of the majority of his brother officers in this matter. He said that the long mili- tary service which many of them had performed entitled them to some consideration, and that the present anomalous situation in which they are placed should be changed. He thought they ought hot be relegated to civil life after the course of study and training they had undergone, and that they should have some future before them beyond the rank of second lieutenant, to which they are now limited. “We have not the slightest objec- tion to the transfer of the service to a civil depart ment,” he said, “and would be glad to serve in our present capacity in it until civilian employes could be specially trained to succeed us on indica- tons work for the weather bureau. We could then be transferred one at a time as our successors became qualified to the line of the army and as- signed to duty with regiments. We don’t want to be retained for ever as second Meutenants under a civil department any more than under the War de- artment, nor do we want to be thrown out into he cold.” ee ‘Transfers of Real Estate.
