By Victor I Illiott. WASHINGTON, April 20. Congress recently changed the United States consular service from a fixed to a movable force. The following paragraph from the new law is self-explanatory: "That hereafter all appointments of secretaries in the diplomatic service and of consular generally shall be by commission to the oitlces of secretary of embassy or legation, consul general, or consul, and not by commission to any particular post, and that such offices shall be assigned to posts and transferred from one post to another by order of the president, as the interests of the service may require." Heretofore when the state department wanted to advance a man's salary for especially good work done, it had to get the president to appoint him to some other post .and then get the senate to confirm tho appointment. Today men are transferred from post to post without having to secure senatorial confirmation. When, however, a man is promoted from one grade to another higher, his new appointment has to be confirmed by the senate. By the recent act of congress the consular service has been put on the Fame basis with regard to promotion as the military service. In tho military service seniority is a factor. In the consular service promotions are entirely a matter of personal elhciency, seniority being disregarded. Have Kflieiency Record. They have a personal efficiency record in the state department. When a man enters the consular service the details of his personal history, his qualifications as developed by examinations, are typewritten at the top of a sheet which is placed in a binder. If he handles "a situation" well, the fact is entered on the sheet. If a minister or an ambassador commends him to the department for something he has done, down that goes. Does he write a report that evokes just criticism? If so, that fact Is also noted. In the scheme of the consular service there are five inspectors, one for each of the arbitrary divisions into which the department divides the world: North America, South America, the far east, the near east, and Africa and Kurope. Each inspector must inspect all the consulates in his Jurisdiction at least onco every two years. He reports on the consul or consul general in charge, his ability, his standing in the community, his methods of work, the personal of his olflcc and all the multitude of things by which efficiency is tested. AH this, in brief form, is written down on the officer's record, and put away in the binder mentioned in the foregoing. Most of the entries, however, are not from inspectors' reports. This war put a strain on the consular service such as it never before had to sustain. How the service was able to stand that strain, the excellent work it did in assisting marooned Americans in the war zone, its many notable instances of personal self-sacrifice in acting as Uncle Sam's agents on the ground are all matters of very recent history. Pages in the efficiency record hook were filled with chronicles of commendable efforts, the use of remarkable powers of initiative, of real diplomacy, of common eense and sincere patriotism.

Simon Spencer, who died in Lee county Monday, served in both Confederate and Federal armies, having enlisted in the Union army for three months, he served his time and then went to the Confederate army, having decided that the southern cause was right.
