The U.S. President's abandonment of the effort to obtain the confirmation of General William Crozier as Chief of Ordnance ends that officer's connection with the corps of which he had been the head for seventeen years before being transferred to the line after last winter's shake-up. Promoted from a captaincy to the position of chief with the rank of brigadier-general, Crozier gave high professional satisfaction. An inventor of worth, a thorough student of foreign armies, a man of striking personality, the line of the army gains by his transfer to it, if only his health will permit his standing the physical strain.
