NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1917, -y BEST OFFICERS ] GOING _ABROAD Those Who Are Qualiied Wil See Service on Firing Line | i AT | Washington, Dec. 12.—Secretary | Baker has announced that the policy ! of sending none but the best army officers abroad, those who are best! fitted physicaily, mentally and militar- |il.v, had been adopted by the War | Department. Boards now are exam- ! | ining regular army and National | | Guard officers. It will not be neces- | sary to examine national army offi- | cers, the graduates of the training i camps, for they have already been | | subjected to severe physical examina- | tions and have been specially trained | in modern war methods. ! Secretary Baker's announcement | follows: ! “The secretary of war announced vesterday that all general officers of | the regular army and the National { Guard are being examined by medical | boards and efficiency boards With the | view of determining the advisability of sending inem for service abroad. | “The conditions of foreign service in! this war are unusually severe, re-{ | quiring that general officers shall be | ! ot only adequately grounded in mili- ! tary science and i adequately alert | Ml | physically to acquire rapidly the les- | i IN POLICE COURT. automobiles without proper markers.

A Harry Littman, proprietor of the Roscben Hat Co. on Main street, stated today that his name appeared through error in the list of German subjects published in the Herald yes- terday. Littman secured papers ad- i mitting him to citizenship in the United States on June 29 of the pres- ! ent vear, but failed to notify U. S. | Jiicrict Attorney Thomas J. Spellacy, } who had him registered as an alien enemy. | of capacity to perform a sons which the new form of warfare ' requires, but able to endure longed hardships. ! “The determinations of the boards i are impersonal and in the interest of | the success of our armies and the wel- | ! fare both of leaders and men, and | wil] be affirmed by the department. | | This policy will no doubt commend it- { | self to the people of the country as | | being in the public interest, and even where it is necessary to deny the op- | portunity for foreign service to sol- diers of long experience it will be un- derstood to imply nothing in any way | prejudicial to the officers involved. i “Boards of this kind have already | found some general officers of both the regular army and the National | Guard physically disqualified. Such finding does not in any way reflect upon the past seriices of the officer or upon his present zecal and willing- ness to make personal sacrifices in the further service of his country, but ! the question to be determined is one pro- | highly | specialized and arduous type of serv- e The action taken is understood to be in line with recommendations | made by Generals Pershing, Bliss and { Scott, all of whom have been study- | | ing conditions in France.

He explained that many of the men were unable financially to; bear the hurden of going home, and | | that furloughs wouid interrupt train- ing. But, the sccretary explained, the dominating reason for the instructions was a desire not to tax transportation facilities needlessly. Mr. Baker denied a report that 50 per cent. of the officers commissioned at Plattsburg camp had been placed on the inactive list and sent home without pay. He said that all men commissioned were to be placed on active duty and that the vast majority of the men commissioned were being assigned to such duty. He explained that there were some instances where men wanted to go home on furloughs, some of them on long furloughs, and | in the case of these men it had been | decided to place them on the inactive list only while they were on fur-| Xmas S uggestions B.
