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

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
