Washington. January 18?Criticism of the army officer* of thin country and the army in general by Representa? tive Helm, of Kentucky, marked con? sideration of the army appropriation bill In tbe House to-day. Mr. Halm charged that the officers of the army were inefficient and incapable of per foiming the duties expected of them. ' I doubt very much if there !? an officer in the army to-day who in tbe line of battle could direct the fire of that line/' he declared. Tho measure had progressed as far as the provision for the pay of tbe officers when Representative Helm opened fire. He said that the officers were "jealous, touchy and bad to he bandied with care" and charged that they had entered Into a contest to see which one could get the most out of tbe army appropriation bill." Representative Hay. of Virginia, chairman of the committee having the bill in charge, resented these statements and declared never had the test but that ths officers of the army weie able to withstand It. An amendment offered by Repre? sentative Hay creating 'he ofjen of ' personal aide" to the I'resident. went out on a point of order.
