Army officers who are not so lueky as to nave had staff appointments hare take alarm at the action of Major General Senofield in appointing his brothel an aide-de-camp on his staff, 't was Secretary Endicott's policy to stribute these places, which he re.rded as educational, among officers ho had previously been employed in inaeenion with their regiments. When sir aiipointnents as staff officers exed, hie held that they had acquired mlVof tho benefits likely to be received frwa the places, and that they should "re way to other officers. Secretary idiroft's position in this matter gave rise to some friction with army . officers high in rank, but was generally well received by tho line.
