FITNESS TO GOVERN ARMY WAILS
(Scrlpp News Association) .
Washington, D. C- May 18-CeneraI
J. F. Bell, chief of tarT of th U. S. army
be'ievee that officers ignd to duty
should be selected by their fitness for the
position, and that it should not be entirely
a matter of individual desires or family
reasons. A recent case which has ap
pealed strongly to General Bell it that of
an officer who expressed a desire for a
detail to duty at a certain college. It Is
quit evident he had approached the col
lege aurhorities on the subject and obtained
from them a request for hi services.
Later he informed the War department
in reply to an inquiry, that he would like
to go to the college town, because he once
ived there and he and hi wife would
enjoy the social lifs, while he would b
able to (tudy foreign language.
