WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. - President

These appointmcnts nre eonsldcrrd

Whlle the iioin' 'loiis nre duted to

the iiomlnntlons are conflnned desplte
the fuct that all of the ollicers nffcct
ed have been servlng for nearly threc
tnontlis nnder the ndvanced rnnk and
pay to whleh they will ho entltled

he Iseonllrmcd, howcvor. he will reeclve

The senntc conimlttce on nillltnry af

who had furnlshcd to the cominlttee a
