THE LIEUTENANT GENERALsHIP

There is a bill pending before the SEN
ate committee on military affairs TO re-
vive the grade Of lieutenant general in
the army for the benefit OF General Miles.
1t is urged, and with some show Of rea-
son. that General schOheli held this
rank when he was in command of the
army. while his predecessors, Grant,
Sherman and Sheridan, held the still
higher rank Of general, anu II is no more
than right that General Miles should
ENJOY it.
1t seems that this bill would pass the
senate. and probably the house, If the
secretary Of war would give It approval,
but that official is opposed 10 It on the
ground that the lieutenant g=neralship
is an office that should be reserved only
for those who have perform=d extraor-
binary services for the republic in actual
war.
The whole position is a wrong one.
The lieutenant generalship should
neither BE- a gift to be bestowed at the
whim Of congress nor d particular re-
ward for military service. 1t should be
a permanent grade in the service, and
above it there should be the rank Of
general, also permanent
In truth, our army staff has never been
properly or logically constituted Even
during the civil war, until the last year
although we had had a half million
soldiers in the field at one time, our
highest grade Of officer was a major
general. And thus we had colonels COM
manding brigades, brigadiers command
ing divisions and major generals com
manding corps and armies.
The Confederates, with a better sense
Of army needs, organized their military
service properly from the beginning, and
created generals, lieutenant generals,
major generals and so on.
That is the proper order. a general
commands an army, a Lieutenant general
an army corps, a major general divi-
sion and a brigadier general a brigade.
This is the way the European armies are
organized, though thay also have the
rank of field marshal, which is above
them all.
Even with our skeleton arm, which in
numbers comprises no more than an
army corps as It would be in war, there
should be these grades, which involve
but little more expense, while giving BIT
ter form and conference to the staff.
But If congress is not yet ready thus

Two boys met in the street.

Two boys met IN the street.
"Hello, Charlie p said one, "you
are just the fellow I want to see.

will you? I've got to go out to my
grandfather's and if you will go along
we can have lots of fun
"I'd like to, first rate" said Char
lie, ''but can't. Mother wouldn' t
want me TO stay out Of school to 60. ;"
"She needn't know anything about
it. We can get back by the time
school is out, urged Harry.
"No," was Charles answer; 81

think I had been to school when ]
hadn't and she might find it out
some time, too, and then shed feel
bad about it.
"I shouldn't think you'd care so
much how she feels and what she
wants, if she isn't willing you should d
have little fun once in while, .
said Harry, with sneer.
"You don't know my mother, OF
you wouldn't say that" replied Char
lie, Indignantly. "She always likes
me to have good times, and Ill trust
her to let me have my full share OF all
the fun that's going unless there s
some good reason for not having it.
[ don't believe any other fellow ever
had so good mother as I've got, and
1 love her we'll enough I to do what she
wants me to do. don't care if once
in a while it is something I'd rather
not do; she knows best, and if she
would like to have it done, that makes
me want to do it..
Charles feeling toward his mother
is much like what Christians feel to-
ward God. They love and trust Him
because they know that He is good
and wise, and they show their love by
obeying Him.
