AL EN.DAVS DEENSNEWTERM Starts Second Four-Year Tenure as Adjutant Gen- eral of Army. Maj. Gen. Robert C. Davis began his second four-year term as Adjutant (eneral of the Army this morning and is receiving felicitations from his legion of friends both in and out of the service. He has had a colorful career and is one of the youngest men ever to con- duct an important bureau of the War Department. He has just returned here from a long vacation in Penn- sylvania. Born in Lancaster County, Pa., Oc- tober 12, 1876, he was graduated from the Military Academy in 1898. He served in the Infantry until 1916, When he was transferred to the ad- futant general's department. Cited for Gallantry. In his early career he took part in the Santlago campalgn in the Spanish War and was cited for gallantry. Later he served in campaigns against the Philippine insurgents. During the World War he was adjutant general of the American Expeditionary Forces, gnd was decorated by the United States, France, Great Britain, Italy, Belglum and Panama. The American citation referred to his high profes- stonal skill and administrative ability and sald that “the exceptional effl clency of the adjutant general’s de- partment under his direction was a material factor in the success of the staff work at general headquarters,” JAfter his return to the United States, he commanded the Gth In- fantry Brigads and had general charge of Infantry instruction in the 3d Division. He ‘was appointed Ad- jutant General of the Army with the rank of major general September 1, 1922, and has since administered the affalrs of that large department to the complete satisfactlon of his offi- elal superiors. Applied Adjustment Act. Probably his outstanding achieve- ment was the administration ofy the World War adjustment act involving the expenditure of billions of dollars of public funds. Another feature of his tenure was the reorganization of the operating force of the bureau which resulted in a reduction of 40 per cent in the officer personnel and | a reduction of 25 per cent in the civillan personnel. When appointed a major general four years ago, Gen. Davis was the youngest officer of that grade in the ‘Army, but Maj. Gen. Douglas Mac- Arthur, commanding the 3d Corps Area, who got his two stars in Janu- ary, 1925, is his junior in age by more than three years.
