NTERESTS OF U.S. FIRST IN ARMY CUT nly Most Effective Officers Will Be Retained, Says _ Official Circular. PPLICATIONS POUR N énntine Separation Cases Expedit- H ed in General Slash for ] Economy. Regulations to govern the separa- ton of hundreds of Regular Army of. ficers from active service before the @nd of the year, as required by Con- gress in the current appropriation B, were made public today at the Department. i “In acéompljshing the required re- duction,” the circular states, “the fhterests of the government will be paramount to those of individuals. ‘wIn view of the necessity of func- tloning as efficlently as possible with the reduced personnel that will be avallable in future, it is essential that only the most effective officers be retained.” part of the necessary reduction will be taken up by natural losses in the commissioned personnel. Ap- plications for retirement are pouring in at the department, and the regula- tlons urge all officers who believe they should be retired to send in their papers. Orders to expedite all ro tine separation cases are included. and to insure completion of the re- duction of the corps by January 1, as required by Congress, the regulations rect that, so far as practicabl separations and recommission: completed by December 15. Limited Separations. Aside from the routine reductions through retirements, resignations and aismissals for cause, all deparations required by the act “are limited to those officers specifically recommend- el for retirement or discharge by the bbard of general officers” created by the act for the purpose and yet to be appointed. The regulations direct that the board's aétion in each case “pe based upon the official records of the officers now on file in the War Department, supplemented by such additional written recommenda ‘ons, reports and statements as may be re- ceived.” In fixing the principles to govern the board the circular says: “The board will consider an officer’s previous, present and probable future usefulness and relative value to the government, taking into account age. length of service, experience, time yet to sel physical condition, effi- clency ratings and all other essential factors entering into a thorough con- sideration of usefulness and relative value. ‘With the exception of reductions in the medical and chaplain corps, offl- cers are to be regarded as “one pool, from which those who for any rea- son are least effective” are to be re- . regardless of the branch of the service to which they are as. sfgned. Readjustments of the num. ber of officers in each branch will be made later. General Officers Included. General officers will be included in the board's survey. although no re- duction in the number of general of- ficers was required by Congress. Ap- pointments of colonels to fill vacan- cles anade by retirement of generals will take care of some surplus colo- nels. Special reports on all officers deemed by the reporting officers to be suitable for consideration for retire- ment or discharge are ordered from heads of branches and of territorial departments and schools. Officers thi yeported are to be personally formed of the fact by the reporting officers and permitted to file with the board of general offiters such state- ment as they care to make. “The drcular emphasizes that the reduction must be sweeping, as there Were 2,516 surplus officers on the rolls June 30 compared with the numbers in de fixed by Congress to become eftective January 1 next. The act allows only 800 to be held beyond that period above the limits fixed to be absorbed or recommissioned in Jower grades later, o that more than 1.700 colonels, majors, captains and first- lleutenants must be discharged of retired or otherwise be separated féom the service. Officers selected for elimination but who have had less than ten years' commissioned service, but more than twenty years service, including that in the ranks, will be given the optfon of dischargd with a year's pay, re- tirement as warrant officers or T daction to the rank of warrant officer. No Stigma in Removal The circular points out that “under the circumstances, separations from the service under the act of June 30, are regarded as honorable in every way, and will not be regarded as stigmatizing an officer or his rec- ord” In conclusion it says: “It is the desire of the War De- partment that, in general, officers leaving the active list of the Regular, Army continue available for military service in emergency. Such office are urged to afiiliate with the N: tfonal Guard or to apply for appoin: ment in the Officers’ Reserve Corps, thereby continwigqg as members of ti Army of the United States avallable for service when needed.” YEAR AND $500 FINE FOR ELOPING PASTOR Don’t Enow Why It Was,” bs Rev.

OMAHA, Neb., Gilbert Howell, republican national commit- teeman, were nominated at yester- day’'s state-wide primaries as demo- cratic and republican candidates, re- spectively, for United States senator. Senator Hitchcock's victory was sweeping, the combined vote of his two opponents, on the face of the returns from approximately one-third of the state, being about half that cast for the incumbent senator. Tab- ulation of votes from 676 of the 1,913 precincts in the state showed Senator Hitchcock, 20,468, aganist 6,757 for J. O. Shroyer, his nearest opponent. Howell's lead over Representative Albert W. Jefteris of Omaha and Attorney General Clarence A. Davle, wtile safe, was by no means as com- manding. He showed a margin of more than 5,000 votes in tabulations of returns from 718 precincts, with Davis and Jefferis fluctuating be- July 19.—Senator M. Hitchcock and R. B.fl tween second and third place In the race and the three other candidates hopelessly outdistanced. The vote stood: Howell, 17,513; Jefferis, 11,851, and Davis, 11,479 > Eighty Counties in Vote. The vote represented eighty of the state’s ninety-three counties. Leading candidates on republican and democratic tickets for the guber- natorial nomination awoke today not knowing whether to accept congratu- lations or condolences. In both of these races the leaders held their places by such slender margins that additional returns might at any time wipe out their advantage. The race between Dan B. Butler, Omaha, and Charles W. Bryan, brother of William Jennings Bryan, for the demgqeratic nomination showed Butler leading with slightly more than one-third of the state heard from. One-half of the vote of Douglas county (Omaha), where Butler showed great strength, was tabulated, while about one-third of the state outside Douglas county, where Bryan was strongest, also was reported. ' Political observers were inclined to the belief that Bryan had a slight edge on the prospects of the Teturns to come. The vote, 688 pre- cincts: Butler, 12,339; Bryan, 11,960; Norton, 8,311; Maupin, 2,953. Governdr Race Close. In the repyblican race for the nom- fnation for governor only a few votes separated Charles H. Randall of Ran- dolph and Adam McMullen of Bea- trice. In 725 precincts Randall has 22,268 and McMullen 21,809. Alfred H. Bryum of Bloomington and George W. Sterling of Omaha, the other two candidates, were hopelessly beaten. The renomination of Representative Robert O. Evans of the third con- gressional_district on the republican ticket, and Representative M. O. Mc- Laughlin_of the fourth district was indicated. In the second district, James H. Hanley of Omaha, former prohibition director for Nebraska, was nomi- nated over his only opponent, Charles O. Anderson, also of Omaha, in the democratic race. W. C. Sears of Omaha was named by the republicans as Hanley's opponent in the Novem- ber election. Mr. Sears defeated his only opponent, Nathan Bernstein. Edgar Howard of Columbus, a news. paper publisher and former lieutenant governor, apparently was nominated over P. F. O'Gara of Hartington, in the democratic third district congres- sional race. Mrs. Irene C. Buell of Ashland, who sought democratic nomination in the; fourth district, was running third for | 58 of the district's 235 precincts re- ported. H. B.,Cummings of Seward was first, wtih _Clifford Fall of Beatrice second. In the first district Walter L.
