Apparently the huuihlo doughboy Is
coming into his own lu this war. A
promotion schemu has Just been out
lined .at headquarter In conformity
with a recent general order from
Washington which paves the way for
rapid advancement for men from the
ranks who display ability for higher
commauds.
Arrangements are ulroudy mado
whereby noncommissioned olllcors w ho
look like they are niadu of olllccrs'

the officers.
- Many Lieutenants Needed.
In order to have sufficient officers
In readiness at all times no limit Is
placed upon the number of second lieu
tenants In replacement divisions, It be
ing recommended Hint fhey have lit
least three times as many as combat
divisions.
Under the new general order divi
sional and other unit eommnndei's are
to consider "only fighting efficiency
units" In recommending temporary ap
pointment for promotion to line of!l
eers. Tho general order, arnicas It plain
Hint such recommendations must be
bnscd solely on demonstrated Illness
and ability to command. Divisional
and other unit commanders are In
structed to Investigate carefully ell
under exactly the same conditions as
tho doughboys. Thereupon tho press
oflteers In churgo of the tirrangeineuts
"framed It tip" on the New Jersey
man.
They happened to know that In a '
certain village wherein mllltlumen were
qunrtcred there were Ideal odvan- j
tages for roughing It. Ten soldiers '
wore billeted In u certain bnru owned '
by an old villager who obstinately re- j
fused lo allow the Americans to ills-1
turb his pig. which hail been occupy- !
lng the same buy loft with them for
some time. j
The press odlcers arranged lo- have i
ono soldier move for the night to glvo
Mr. Colby accommodations next to
the pig. Then the following morning
the correspondents were to Interview
the Jerseyan on his impression of -the
pig and the pig his impressions of
his fellow lodger.
Hut the pig's owner had been left
out of the calculation. The night was
cold so the villager moved the pig Into
his own quarters, where there was lire.
So I he world will never know what
Mr. Colby thought of the pig and vice
versa.
