The interval between tours will be three years as prescribed in tl regular roster. It is felt that the estab- lishment of this new foreign servic roster policy will fill a long needed want, as it will enable the War Department to select Army officers for foreign gar- rison duty who really desire foreign service. Fifteen chaplains of the Regular Army, all captains, representing vari- ous denominations, will be promoted to the grade of major July 1. They are as follows: Thomas E.
