The proposition to send General Miles
TO the Grecian frontier to watch tie
military operations now going on there
may lead to international complica-
tons, If 1t is carried into effect, and II
will he.
France refused TO allow General SherI-
dan to accompany its army in the war
with Prussia, and II is possible that the
same objection might be made by
Turkey or Greece in the case OF General
Miles. His high rank and official position
are the main difficulties in his case. The
question Of expense Is also a hard one
to solve. The president, however, has
practically decided to send General Miles
on the proposed mission.
The impression is that owing to the
rapid progress Of the war and the likeli-
hood that 1t will be brought TO a cloce
before General Miles could reach the
scene the project may have to be aban-
doned. Should the order be made by
the president however, II will be the first
time In our history that the general COM
