"othr's Fo~nd" fi 3ol at all OFFICERS OF ARMY WILL BE LET OUT Wholesale "Plucking" Job to Be Start ed Today-Causing Much Con cern-Major Gen. Dickman Re tired, Is President of Board of Officers. Washington, July 24.-The board of general officers apopinted to un dertake the most wholesale "pluck ing" job ever initiatpd . griong the regular army officers' corps ,Will hold its first meeting tomorrow, with Major Gen. Joseph T. Dickman, retired, presiding as president. It was to have begun operatias to ward the elimination or demotion of some 2,500 officers today, but was held up by the absence of one mem ber. Members of the board, which is representative of all arms of the service, were greatly concerned in their preliminary discussions today over the probable effect upon the morale of the army of the suspended sentence now hanging over the heads of practically every officer in the service, with the exception of Gen. Pershing and the baker's dozen of second lieutenaits now in the army. 'ronotions Li kely Congress in directing that the of ficers' corp be reduced by January 1 to 12,000 dift not include the gen eral ofllcog of the army in fiing. the number to be retaijmd {n each gradle. The War' h)tpartniei, hi prepu'ling itgi latijuni for ti. ' - "pluck ing board," did not include the gen cral officers in so far as retirement of any of the lajor or brigadier generais for physlcal tlisabilit' would Reate vacaneles and permit the appointment of colonies to gen eral oflicers rank, reducing the nuni bar of surplus colonels to that ex tent. There appeared also to be much concern among board member as to the view army officers might take of the board's action in recoin mending any oflicer for honorable dlischarge. Preliminary investiga tion mdicates that probably more than 1,700 oflicers now on the rolls must be "separated" from the active service in this way. The board, it is understood, will seek by every means to impress u'pon the army and upon the general public th view that discharge under these conditions in no way reflects upon the character or the service a dis charged offier has rendered, and that in a majority of cases at least, the army would much prefer to re tain these officers' services. Board members are understood to feel that there is little prospect of finding many officers now on the rolls who merit discharge. The army recently cleaned house in this regard on its own motion, and the suggestion of Gen. Pershing to Con gress that the strength of the corps be fixed at 13,500 was based upon the efforts then in progress to get rid of unsuitable officers in the way Congress previously hadl Provided, through elfliciency ratings and1( the "Clasi B" ratings.
