! WASHINGTON, November 15-The annual
report of Major General Schofeld, COM
manding the army, to the secretary of war
was made public today He pays special
attention to the desertion question. He
says; The causes of discomfort which lead
They have been sought for diligently fol
years and many of them have been re.
moved. Some of them are probably beyond
the reach of any remedy. One of these
is the naturally discontinued dis position OF
men who are led by the feeling alone to
seek change from the monotony of bread
winning in any civil pursuit by entering a
supposed less arduOus service of the United
States. When such men find that soldi ers
no less than civilians must work their feel
ings of discomfort return and they resort
to the only means which they can make
another change. These men rarely desert
when engaged in active campaign however
great hardships and privation
is ordinary labor and the routine of
military duties which inspire them with
discomfort.
These causes of desertion cannot be re-
moved. A sufficient remedy may perhaps
be found in the case of all worthy men
who find, after few months trial, that
they have mistaken their calling by II
more liberal exercise of power to dis barge
soldiers upon their own application than
has ever heretofore prevailed. Great care
in the recruiting service to prevent the ell
listment of men Of bad charac er and
habits may be found practicable. Measures
having these ends i'll view have already
been instituted. Also greater Gre in the
treatment of recruits by officers and non
commissioned officers.
General Schofield recommends that the
present five regiments of artillery be organ
lied into seven regiments. lie orgalli2a-
ton to remain the same except that there
shall be but one first lieutenant to bat
terry. He also recommends that the en-
listed strength of the army be in
creased to $4,000, which would sup
ply the force necessary for the
proposed reorganization OF artillery
and infantry, as well as giving more mar
gin for recruits under instruction. He
wants the infantry regiment to consist of
three battalions, aggregating lively com pa
MES, as in the cavalry. He suggests That
hereafter the promotion from the grade of
second lieutenant to that of colonel IN the
cases Of all officers who are not nov above
the lowest grade, should be made accord
ing TO the seniority OF the COMMISSION IN
the arm of service to which the officer be-
longs, and not as now in part ~ regi-
ments.
He further suggests that hereafter officers
be commissioned in the arm of the service
to which they belong and not in particular
regiments, so that they may be assigned to
regiments, and transferred from one to an
other by the president as the interests of
the service may require. He recommends
that the pay of non-commissioned officers
of infantry, cavalry and artillery be made
the same as that now established for like
grades in engineers.

.ARCHDUKE JOHN
THE LEADING GRANDEE OF THE
AUSTRIAN EMPIRE THROWS
AWAY HIS TITLES,
And as Plain johann Ortiz Accepts Work
in London-Ex Queen NataIie's Vic
tory Over Her Enemies.

| LONDON, November 15.-If Herr Johann
0rth, erstwhile Archduke John, of Austria,
could manage to accept all of the situations
which have been provided for him by dis
patches from Vienna during the last three
weeks, he could easily lay claim to to being
the most versatile, as well as the busiest
man of the time. But there is suspicion
that Johann has "bug," which would rem
der his services in any o f the walks of life
laid out Cor him by newspaper reports, of
doubtful value.
Directing to the system which his august
relative Emperor Francis Joseph saw fit to
maintain the Austrian army, Archouke Jo-
ham made himself so obnoxious to his
superior that no other course than to virtu-
ally eIpel him from the army seemed open,
and his removal naturally follows. Then
in fit of pique, or actuated by some other
school-boyish impulse, he renowned his
rank, titles and all other attributes of nooil-
ity attaching to him and emerged into the
world as plain Johann 0rth.
Not long ago it was reported that he had
been offered and promptly accepted stu
alton on the literary staff of great New
York newspaper, though it was not stated
what particular department of the journal
he would adorn, and later it was given out
that he had decided to undertake the emf
nently respectable, but excessively monoto-
nous role OF private gentleman with an
extremely moderate fortune Now it is an
nounced that Mr. Orth, nee Archduke
Johann Salvador is about to enter the employ
of firm of ship builders in England. If
otlicious persons engaged in finding situa-
tons for the ex-archduke will desist long
enough to enable him to become estab-
lished in one of them, they will doubtless
render him substantial favor and at the
same time dispel great deal of morbid
curiosity as to whether he is capable of
earning his own living or has not as many
believe, thrown away the substance while
grasping at the,shadow.
Ex-Queen Natalie has scored another
victory over her ex-husband in compelling
the Servia regents to enter into an agree
ment to permit her to see her son
whenever she may choose to pay him
visit, tie only condition of importance i'm
posed upon her being that she shall refrain
from political intrigue. This arrangement
is very much as Russia would have it, and
the royal lady may be depended upon to
make her influence felt upon her son and
in other directions without rendering her
self liable to the accusation of violating the
terms of her agreement
Meanwhile ex-King Milan has gone back
to his congenial life in Paris with the meta
phorical black eve and the car is prepar-
ing TO add another to his long list of blood
less conquestS in the control of Servia
when Natalie shall have completed the
necessary preparations for the transfer of
the keys of Belgrade to her imperial pro-
teCtOr.

James ID have sneered at the French as

as many generations Of Frenchmen have
laughed at the English for their awkwardness,

ing their money with freedom that seems
recklessness to the French, and yet the illus

are not satirized SO much. Indeed, it is the
American who tries to look like an English
man who gets the most ridicule. and surely
