Question of Seniority Is Ignored Considerations the President That Ruled Interesting Competition Ended. TO Dy It was announced at Washington war department 'he other day that the president has appointed Brig. Gen. William P. Ouvall major general In the army, vice Maj. Gen. William S. McCaskey. commanding the department of Dakota, at St. Paul, who has I. retired on account of age. and Lieut. Col William Wotherspoon of the Nineteenth Infantry, acting presl dent of the war college, a brigadier general, vice Gen. Duvall, promoted. These appointments end a most interestiag competition in the army. In both cases the president has ignored the question of seniority, and selected officers by no means at the top of tbeir respective grade. Gen. Uuvall stood number seven In the list of brigadier generals of the line, and his relative rank In that grade was number fourteen. The six brigadiers of the line who were passed over through Gen. appointment are Gens. Funston, Carter, Bliss, Barry, Mills and Edger-ly- , but it Is stated as a curious fact (!.. . ' - s that Gen. Duvall was either instructor or drill master at West Point to each of those officers except Funston. Each of them is younger in years than Duvall, except Edgerly, who is slightly older. Of the other brigadiers, Gens. Godfrey, Myer, Hall, Thomas and Morton will each retire for age before Gen. Duvall, and Gens. Davis and Hodges within a few weeks afterward. Of the younger brigadiers, Gen. Funston will retire in November, 1921); Carter in November, 1915; Bliss In December, 1917; Mills In May, in September, 1924. 1918; Pershing Gen.

It is stated at the war department that the promotion of Gen. Edgerly of the cavalry arm. who is senior In rank and years to Gen. Duvall, would restrict the grade of major general to the cavalry, for the other five generals have all been cavalry officers. On the other ha mi, Gen. Duvall is from the artillery and is the lirst from that arm to hold the grade of major general, except for the purpose of perfunctory appointment in order to secure an advance grade upon retirement, since Gen. Schofield relinquished It in 1895. Another consideration said to have Influenced Gen. Duvall's preferment was the fact that the Infantry now has the lieutenant generalcy and some of the preceding lieutenant generals were also from the infantry, which arm, BRAND NEW CUSTOM n h h HOUSE.

A TALENTE3 WRITER Made The use of dogs for military purposes has proved so successful in Germany that the dog soldier is continually being taught new things. Near Dresden recently there was a test of skill which was a great revelation of their accomplisments. Two mocpanies of soldiers separated a distance of a mile and a quarter, one of them, supposed to be an outpost in the face of an enemy, communicated for some time by the aid of dogs trained to go back and forth. Each time the distance between the two was traversed by the days in less than two minutes, in spite of intense heat and a great deal of confusing firing. The special ofbject of the use of these fast dogs is to enable detachments of inform themselves of the speed at which the enemy Is approaching and so to maintain a position up to the last moment practicable. On the same occasion the cartridge dogs performed their peculiar duty, wrich is to supply the troops with cartridges during a rapid fusillade. Each dog wears a kind of pack saddle which carries 300 cartridges. With this load he travels up and down the line of men, who help themselves to cartridges as they have need. As soon as the pack saddle is empty the dog, at command, makes off at full speed to get it replenished. Every one has heard of the dogs of the "pious monks of St. Bernard," which are supposed to have a sort of monopoly of the accomplishment of serving the wounded and helpless and calling assistance for them. But the German military hive dogs trained to search out and attend the wounded and call human assistance. These dogs of the ambulance corps are trained to divided duties. Some of them, carrying a little Hash of water or restorative, simply sit and bark or bay near the body of a fallen man. Others have been trained to go in search of assistance and guide a soldier of the ambulance corps. The trained dogs performed all these functions very skillfully at the recent trial near Dresden. It is plain that the German army, if it shonld be engaged in another war, would be accompanied by a greater number of dogs than ever before accompanied an army on a campaign. 1K3 VSBSSHSMP-S- i ssai com-panic- s IT IS TO LAUGH. You Cahnot Now Be Popular Without Knowing It. When the terms for singing lessions had been agreed upon the teacher said : "For 50 cents a week extra I will give you a lesson in laughing, too." "Laughing?" exclimed the prespect-tivpupil. "What shall I laugh at?" "Anything nothing. But you must laugh if you expect to be popular. What is more, you must laugh out loud. The days of when merriment could be properly expressed only by a smirk and a smile, are happily passed. People laugh heartily nowadays, but at the same time they should laugh musically. That is, they ought to put a few silvery notes ipto their peals of joy, and those who are wise enough to study t laughing do put them there. so well patronized as they should be. As yet the laughter of most people is a series of cacophonious coughs. Take your own case, for example. I heard you laugh a little while ago, it " sounded like 1 dare "Yes, say it did," interrupted the prospective pupil, "but I had a good time, just the same." The teacner threw back her head and emitted a merry tintinnabulation of her own. "There," she said, "you ought to laugh like that. Of course all laughs cannot sound alike. There is the soprano laugh, the contralto laugh and " the mezzo laugh, the laugh .' and the laugh the laugh 'ha-haThe quality of a person's laugh is largely determined by temperament, but no matter what its natural tone, it can be trained into a thing of beauty.
