Retired

Major General Robert Lee Bullard last week quitted his post as Commander of the Second Corps Area with headquarters at Governor's Island, N. Y.--retired at the age of 64. General Bullard was the commander of the famed First Division in France. He is the last of what was called the "Big Four" to be retired for age. The other three are Major General Jaine G. Harbord (now President of the Radio Corporation of America), Major General Hunter Liggett and General J. J. Pershing.

Slender, like Pershing, and youthful in appearance and manner. General Bullard has always lived at a rapid pace, and the conclusion of his career was no exception. The last few days were filled with enough activities, social and military, completely to wear out an ordinary man.

He was succeeded by Major General Charles P. Summerall, eight years his junior, ruddy, stocky, a bit grim, a man who through a large part of his career has followed in General Bullard's footsteps, being given post after post as General Bullard relinquished it.

Coincident with General Bullard's retirement from command of the Second Corps Area, Major General Charles G. Morton, also 64, retired from command of the Ninth Corps Area with headquarters at San Francisco.
