MIR. ENDICOTTS WORK
The Secretary of War Reviews His
Administration.
IMPROVING THE SERVICE.


BALTIMORE Feb % The Sun publishes
review Of the work Of Secretary Endcott
obtained from interviews with him. 1t is
mainly as follows;
"Mr. Hndicott spoke very frankly Of his
efforts 10 improve the service and 10 make the
army more efficient With reference to the
work in the department he said Il had been
systematized and greatly improved. A num-
her Of inefficient men had been discharged,
and the working capacity Of the de-
partment had been materially increased
When the civil service law went
into operation before the Cleveland adminis-
hation was installed, its provisions were
made applicable to all the department en-
ployes, 30 that none could be removed except
for cause. Many had been removed ON this
ground, but Secretary Endicott says the
merits of the civil service law cannot be
tested until the entire force in the department.
is employed in accordance with its provi-
sions
"New life has been infused in all the
branches of the department work, and marked
evidences OF the improved condition Of things
are 20 be found in various directions In the
surgeon generals Office, for instance, the work
of the record and the pension division has
been greatly expedited Thousands OF un-
answered calls for information from the com
missioner Of pensions had accumulated prior

months and some for longer period.
Repeated efforts by the department to Sc
cure greater expedition having failed, il was
deemed necessary to relieve the chief Of the
division, DIR. Pope, and detail another officer
in his place, which was done early in Decem-
Der. Other changes were also made in the
bureau. In less than three months thereafter
the great aiTearage which existed was en-
tircly reduced. The discipline Of the force
was improved Thirty disabled clerks, who
for various reasons were entitled 70 considera-
tion, were assigned 10 such duties as they
could efficiently perform with comfort to
themselves, and twenty worthless clerks were
discharged
Secretary Endcott has taken great inter-
est IN the simphfcation OF business methods
in the department, and has been especially
: firm and energetic in his efforts 20 root out
! every species Of favoritism in the service
, One OF the most important changes Is the
new system Of staff appointments. Formerly
r the heads Of bureaus were perm tied to select

are determined solely ON the merits Of the
L individual applicants.

Endicott's efforts have been steadily and con-
scientiously directed TO improving It. He has

were to be expected.
