' 1 self`, I no not think that pubic policy or

pwotild stop all promotions and all oom
' missioning of new °niters. ' The rate at
which °filters were now leavingthe army
-was-,very great. During the past year
. fire hundred persons holding commis

the theasUre winch he suggested had
beeivadopted 'aril year, the number of
