ACTIVE COMMAND
Chief of Staff, Near Retire
ment Age, to Ask Re
tention in Service i
Washington, Sept. 11. With
Mnjor General Hush U Scott, Chlef
of-Staft of the Army, reaching; retire
ment age this month, speculation ling
begun at the War Department as to
whether he will be retained on active
service under the war-time emer
gency provisions of the law and con
tinue in office.
It is known that General Scott
would welcome an active command in
the field. In view of his distinguished
services on many occasions and the
known high regard for him entertain
ed by President.Wilson and Secretary
Baker, It appears probablo that an ef
fort will be made to gratify his
wishes, should it be determined to re
lieve him of his staff post.
The pressure upon the chief-of
staff will become increasingly heavy
as American forces abroad are en
larged and when they are holding a
portion of the western front great
physical vigor will be required to en
dure the strain.
