In this observance no form of ceremony is prescribed, but posts and comrades will, in their own wa range such fitting services and testi- monials of respect as etrcumstances will permit. We are organized for the pur- pose, among other things, of preserving and strengthening those kind and fra- ternal feelings which have bound to- gether the soldiers, sailors and marines r&'ha“unued to suppress the late rebel- ion.

Shiebler of the heaquarters barracks on Eighth street southeast is on temporary de- tached duty accompanied by six men from the same barracks as contestant at Quantico in the preliminaries sub- sequent to record firing for the Elliott Trophy—a handsome silver bowl donat- ed by Maj. Gen. George Elliott, re- tired, to be contested for ahnually by the various shore units of the corps. Capt. G. D. Miller is temporarily stopping at 2000 Connecticut avenue. Brig. Gen. George Richards, pay- master of the corps, has issued orders to all retired officers and enlisted men that they must April 30 or immediately thereafter advise the office of the pay- master of their right, respectively, to pay on that date, notwithstanding that | they may have but recently written the assistant paymaster's office. or letters of advice may not be signed before the date indicated; will be returned.

Everson, Chief of the Militia Bureau of the War Department, has not been officially received by that depart- ment, speculation is rife as to the iden- tity of his probable successor in the event he becomes pastor, as it has been reported, of the First Baptist Church of Denver, Colo. Prior to coming to Wash- ington to assume the duties as chief of the bureau, Gen. Everson was pastor of a church at Muncie, Ind. One of the determining factors in the selection of a chief of the Militia Bu- reau is the geographical location from whence he comes. Another governing | rule is that he must be selected from | lists of active Federally recognized Na. tional Guard officers, recommended by the governors of the several States and Territories as sutable for such appoint- ment, who have had 10 or more years' | commissioned service in the active Na- | tional Guard, at least five of which have been in the line, and who have attained | at least the grade of major. Political considerations will play a dominant part in the selection of Gen. Everson’s | ardson, heretofore attached to Quantico, left last Wednesday for duty in Haiti. | The following commissioned officers, | now on duty in Nicaragua, are to be | | transterred to duty in this country via Army or Navy transport shortly: Capts. | | Willlam L. Harding. Willard P. Leutze, George W. Spotts, John T. Blanton and First Lieut. John C. Donehoo. PRIL 2 Army and Navy News likely that pressure will be exerted to name the next bureau chief from Illi- nois, Kansas, Nebraska or Iowa. It is quite likely that Minnesota and South Dakota will present candidates, ‘The Army Classification Board, with Maj. Gen. Fred W. Sladen as president, will be convened at the War Department May 18 for the purpose of making classification of officers of the Regular Army. 1In addition to Gen. Sladen, who is in command of the 3d Corps Area, with headquarters at Baltimore, the { board will consist of the following offi- cers; Maj. Gen. Dennis E. Nolan, Maj. Gen. Fox Conner, Maj. Gen. Frank R. McCoy. Brig. Gen. Campbell King, Brig. Gen. Edgar T. Collins and Brig. Gen Henry J. Hutch, with Maj. Robert L. Hichelberger, A. G. D., as recorder. This classification of officers under section 24B of the national defense act, provides for the elimination of officers whose professional qualifications are be- low standgrd. Under class B procedure, officers ar placed either in class A or class B and those remaining in the lat- ter class are retired or discharged. The results of this law, in eliminating pro- motion list officers during the 10 years that it has been in effect, show 89 re- tired, 98 honorably discharged and 62 discharged, or a total of 249 separations from the active list. | | Navy.
