Tacoma. Wash.. Nov. 26. Detailed instructions Cov ering the discharge of commissioned officer reached here today from the war department, and furnished an answer to a question which thou sands of officers hav been asking for some time. The Information makes it plain that the resignations that have been turned in by somo orficer8 are "out of order" and that discharee from the army will be determined by the war department and not the personal inclinations of the individual ofilcer. All officers, however, have already been requested to state their prefer ence as to becoming a member of the regular army ot bving placed on the reserve list or receiving a complete discharge. y "The president hns deternned." the order ; states, "that the " pnMtc service will be promoted by the dis charge., as rapidly as their services can be spared, i of officers In the United -. States army. . except those holding commissions of any k'nd in the regular army." "All separations." the order tatcs "however, will "be by discharge as ftnthnrlzpri r.v Taw tonricn nation: will not be received or con-' sldered." As orders are received directing the u "redaction of the endlsted strength will be made, determining the order of discharge by arranging the officers Into. the three following classes: First, those desiring full and Im mediate separation from the service. Second, those desiring prompt separatum , from, the service, but a place upon the Officers reserve corps and who have been vi";mraended by commanding, officers for such a place. v . Third, officers desiring appoint ment. If opportunity permits. In the regular army, who commanding of ficers have recommended for such appointment. TUB TRACTOR BELTS. r One of the most' potent factors In making farm and large garden, work attractive Is. the. substitution of the tractor for the horse. This does away with the necessity of sUbles, stable yards, storage of hay and grain, ma sure, etc., so that-small farms may be all farms and not given over to the old-fashioned stable area in such large part. The "Iron horse" may be quartered even In or under the rear of one's house without anything ob jectionable emanating therefrom ex cept a little warm language when the steely brute will sot "do so." The writer never did like to see horses work under a heavy strain, and, though very fond - of horses, never liked to, handle them as compared with machines that answer to every move of helm or lever, T. L. ASIUXGTO.V. Nov. 2C.--The Un ited Slates government has refused to approve the proposed tranfv to a Hritlsh syndicate of the vessels now under British registry ow.xed oy the International Mercantile Ma rine corporation. BainbridKe Colby ol the shipping board. In making htis announcement tonight, said th nv- ernment had offered to take oveT tte ownership or these vessel upon v linns oi me urmsn offer. The vessels oncemeil In ih dicate's offer number aDroxlmately 5 or an aggregate tonnage or 73o 000 gross tons They include some of the moat important now engaged In the trans-Atlantic service, such a the Olympic and many others or ram illar names. Tfcjs formal statement was issued t' the orrice or the shipping board! "Announcement was made at the shipping-board that the International Mercantile Marine corporation had today been advised or the eovern- nienfs disinclination to give its ap proval to the proposed transfer lo a JMtish syndicate or the American ownership which for years has Deen vested in the International Mercan tile Marine corporation of the lat ter's vessels now under British reg istry "Balnbridge Colby of the shipping board, stated that an offer by a Bri tish syndicate to acquire trom the international Mercantile Marin cor poration the tonnage in question had been under consideration tor some time. The ofter was expressly con ditioned upon- Us approval by both the United States and British govern- ments. The negotiations, he further stated, had "been carried on by the international corporation with en tire frankness, so far as the government-Is concerned and the . decision now reached Is due to the reluctance felt that an ownership which has so long been held in this country, cov ering so Important a tonnage, ohoulri at this time, and under the condi tions now prevailing in shipping throughout the world, be suffered to pass out of American hands. "The vessels immediately con cerned In the syndicate's offer are approximately 85 in number and ag gregate 730.000 gross tons, or. In their der.dtvcifht eqnivalent. about 1,700,000 tons. They Include some flw mrst Important vessels now en- ;i in trars-Atlantic servicesuch as the Olympic, and many other ves sels 'S. !aree type and familiar names "The government has announced 'ts willingness to take over the own ership of these vessels upon the erms of the British otter, which is considered a fair price for tonnagf of this exceptional character. "Notification has been sent to the International Mercantile Marine cor poration of tfca government's deci sion." Negotiation for the sale of the ships has been underway for some weeks and a few days ago the ship ping board requested the Interna Mercantile Marine corporation to take r.o further living to the concui.i;j:-ilo.i of t!u leal until the government ccroH reach a decision.
