have been made during the last two years to re-establish the title.
 There is no army politics in the joint resolution now pending in both branches of Congress to make Nelson A. Miles a lieutenant general Demo- crats and Republicans favor it and other Democrats and Republicans op- pose it. General Miles was designated to succeed General Schofield by former President Cleveland. through Daniel s. Lamont, his Secretary of War Yet Secretary Lamont, three months after General Miles elevation, wrote a let ter in which he strongly opposed reviv- ing the title of lieutenant-generaI. On the other hand, General Russell A. AL ger, MT. Lamont's successor as Secre- tary of War. is as strongly in favor of making Miles a lieutenant-ge general as Secretary Lamont was opposed to it.
 It is very interesting side light to all of the current war talk, is this ques- tion of whether the armies of the United States shall be commanded by a major general, with two other major generals as assistants, or by a lieuten- ant-general. In the event of war the Federal forces would be commanded by Major General Miles, under whose inn mediate direction has been carried on all of the work of coast defense under taken since the passage of the $50 00O- 900 appropriation.
 Under Major General Miles would be Ma ajor General Wesley Merritt and Ma jor-General John R. Brooke, with Brig adier-G General Graham in charge of the Department of the South. There would be no confusion of major generals probably, and no member of the army could be excused should he forget that Major General Miles is the senior off,
The San Francisco call., 1898-04-03

cer of that title. But Major General Merritt, now commanding the Depart ment of the East undoubtedly would take charge of the forces in the field, and Major General Brooke, who would be sent to Governors Island to take charge of the Department of the East in Major-G General Merritt's absence, would be certain to figure prominently in subsequent events.
 It is partly because of the confusion that might follow the multiplicity of major-generals that Congress is being urged to take immediate action on the resolution to make Major General Miles lieutenant- general. If that is done there will be no reason for con- fusion as to who is the ranking head of the army.
 Few, if any, other armies of the world. are organized without lieuten- ant-general, and it was because of this fact that the present movement to re- vive the title was started. General Miles has scores of enthusiastic ad- mirers among the officers of the army who would like to see him made lieu tenant general, both because he is the head of the army and because they be- lieve his services entitle him to the honor. They hold that a man who organized a volunteer company when he was p years old, served throughout the Civil War with distinction. and af- terward made a worldwide reputation as an Indian fighter should receive the title of lieutenant general when called upon to perform the duties of that re- sponsible position.
 It was Daniel S. Lamont who fur nished the first argument in opposition to conferring the title of lieutenant
The San Francisco call., 1898-04-03

general upon Nelson A. Miles. That fact attained interest because of the other fact that it was Secretary La mont who, obeying the instructions of President Grover Cleveland, formally placed General Miles at the head of the United States army. Since Secretary Lamont first made known his opposi tion, more than two years ago, certain Southern leaders, nearly all of whom were prominent in the Civil War, have joined in the effort to defeat the project.
 General Miles was a mere boy when he entered the Union army, and he rose so rapidly during the conflict that he came out of the army with the title of brevet major general, although he was but 26 years old. After the war, when Jefferson Davis was sent to Fortress Monroe as prisoner, Miles was select ed by Secretary Stanton to take charge of the noted captive. Those were un- certain times, and the young officer took every precaution to see that his prisoner did not escape. It has been charged against him that General Miles put Davis in chains, and because of this charge there is much opposition to making him lieutenant-g general on the part of Southern members of Con- gress
 General Miles friends have explained that in his treatment of the President of the Confederacy he merely obeyed explicit instructions from Washington, but the vote in the Senate Committee on Military Affairs the other day indi- cated that the Davis incident still ran- kles in the bosom of the Southerners. Six members of the Senate committee voted in favor of the joint resolution to
