C, Feb. 4 Step: looking to confirmation by the senate of proposed promotion of army offl cers below the grade of brigadier general were takeiTMate today by re publican leaders, who indicated, how ever, that confirmation could not be expected of 11 major and ii ortga- dier-generals selected by President Wilson. Nominations of several thousand army officers of the grade of colonel and below, upon request of Senator Wadsworth. republican, ew iora were referred to the military commit tee. of wh'ch he is chairman. Tner early confirmation, at least in part. is planned. Senator Wadsworth also requested reference to his committe of the nomination of Brigadier-Gen eral Frank SIcIntire. chief of the in sular affairs bureau, to similar rank in the line. Mrlntlre Made Exception. A specific exception of General Mc Intire's case was made.

Senators Robinson of Arkansas and Swanson of Virginia, both democrats. complained vigorously against the re publican plan of holding up confirma tion of 11 major-generals and 22 brigadier-generals nominated. Sena tor Swan:jn also objected to holding up nominations of navy officers, ex cept bureau chiefs, but Senator Lodge republican, Massachusetts, said the navy officers were in a different po sition to army officers, because, he explained, the navy officers would hold over until December 31 and could be confirmed in the next congress. Senator Robinson asked that all army nominations be sent to the miU itary committee for consideration, and then Senator Smoot. republican, Utah, objected, charging that politics was being "injected" into army promo tions. Army I"Vlltlr Chanced. "It Is the first time in our history. said Mr. Robinson, "that promotions in the army have deliberately been made the football of politics. It is a cad day for the army anu for the sen ate when promotions are made the subject of political influence." Senator Robinson declared that re fusal to consider the nominations of generals was "a humiliation and dis grace, a reflection on every gallant eoidier in the list. Denying tnat any renection was cast upon general officers. Senator Lodge said that the country had not forgotten the politics that kept The cdore Roosevelt from going to France and that kept General Leonard Wood at home. "There , has been favoritism and some injustice," he added, stating that the next president should be al lowed to look over the list of pro motions. Senator Swanson said all the gen erals named had given "gallant serv ice" overseas and yet. he added, 'their promotions have been held up two years. Obituary.
