New War Secretary's Study of His
Department.
CONFERS WITH OFFICERS
WILL NOT LEAVE PHILIPPINE
QUESTION TO OTHERS.
Secretary Is Considering Larger
Questions Arising In His Office,
While Matters Connected With
Government of Porto Rico and
Cuba Are Left to Subordinates.

Washington, Aug. 13.-Secretary Root
is beginning TO get firm grasp on the
administration of the war department
He has been at the head of affairs only
ten days, yet this has been sufficient to
show his methods and the influence
which his vigorous personality exerts
throughout the military establishment.
AT the outset Mr.. Root set about famil-
iarizing himself with the more import
ant details of the department, much as
lawyer first prepares his statement of
facts as a basis for his legal analysis
From Adjutant General Corbin he Sc
cured data showing at a glance broad
outline of the army in the field. From
the quartermaSter general he learned
the number of transports, the capacity
and readiness to carry troops, and the
exact status of stores, clothing and
equipment, particularly as to General
Otis forces in front of the enemy. OF
the commisSary general he asked just
how many rations were in actual stock
at Manila, how long this supply would
last, how quickly it could be replen-
ished, and whether there was an ample
margin for every emergency. The same
information has been drawn as to ord
nance medical and hospital supplies,
engineering and signal equipment.
Each bureau officer submitted a sue
cinct tabular statement, and this was
supplemented by a personal talk with
the secretary. Not only the officials
here, but those at Manila and Havana
have had to be consulted by cable
whenever it has been necessary to add
to the completeness of the information
at hand here. In this way Mr.. Root has
speedily brought himself into touch
with every branch of the military serv-
ice and has gathered a most complete
and analysed resume of military
affairs.

Letters of Women In the Dossier.

Some of Countess Marie Won Mum
ster's letters in the secret dossier were
to Mile. Lucie Faure. They may be
forgeries. 1 cannot imagine that she
gave them to the minister of war as
proof that the family of the German
ambassador took an interest in Drey-
fus.
The Schwarzkoppen letter, speaking
of the impetuous Intervention in the
affair of the German emperor for rea-
sons unknown even to Hohenlohe, IS
believed to be genuine. In this con-
nection it is said. in military circles,
that a lady in whom Emperor William
took deep interest has fished out for
him Dreyfus as a person competent TO
inform his majesty on French military
questions. This lady, it is said. was
relative of the late Jacques Saint Cere.
of the Figaro, who was condemned TO
thirteen months imprisonment for
Matchmaking the late millionaire NJ.
Lebaudy-
He came to Paris a pictorial artist,
as the story goes. and exhibited in the
salon. There was such a lady, but
would be sorry to declare her the mis-
tress of the German emperor and the
temptress of Dreyfus. What the Of
fcers say about her may be another
lie which should be nailed to the
counter Military credulity is bound
less. EMILY CRAWFORD.

Conferred With Miles.

While going over the military phases
of the work, the secretary has con-
ferred with the commanding general
General Miles, and with General Mer-
rift, who is second in command, on the
military problems presented and beside
the military results of these councils
it has established cooperation between
the executive head of the war depart
ment and the ranking officers of the
army. Meanwhile the secretary has
announced no far-reaching policies. He
proceeds slowly while the facts on
which policies rest are being assembled
If there has been some loose and rather
careless statements as to proposed poll
icy, they have probably been as much
a surprise to him as to the public So,
too, the reports set afloat before he en-
tered office. that he would confine his
attention to Cuban affairs, leaving the
Philippines to the military authori-.
ties have not been borne out, but on
the contrary, the military exigencies
in the Philippines have been the subject
of his most earnest solicitude.
Concerning Cuba and Porto Rico. the
detailed administration of their affairs
with its multitude of minor issues is
being left largely with his assistants
and chiefs, and he is concerning him
self with the larger questions of the
reconstruction and future Of these is
lands and with the substitution of or
derby civil government for the military
regime now in force.

Preparing a Map.

While getting in hand this admins
trative machinery, Mr.. Root has at the
same time made a careful inquiry into
the military situation in the field. Prob
ably the most important military in
quiry he is pursuing is as to the exact
fluctuations of the instruction in the
Philippines since the day it began. For
that purpose a military map is now
being prepared by the adjutant gener-
ais office for the private use of the sec
rotary, showing the advance of our
forces from day to day throughout
General Otis campaign, the position
and movements on different occasions
the retreat of the enemy and its posi-
ton and force from time to time. 1t
will be a birds-eye view of the theatre
of military operations throughout the
inSurrection. Data will be written in
to show the position of the army as the
campaign proceeded, and as far as pos
sible ii will convey TO the eye an idea
of the scope of the military operations
in the Philippines up 10 date. The
preparation of this map has been put
in charge of Major Simpson, chief of
the bureau of military information, who
has been giving his undivided attention

A Grant County Opinion.

I fully agree with your article in
the January issue that we must con-
centrate our efforts. Some of those
who wish to abolish the saloon pray
for it, but do nothing else. Others give
a little to temperance work, and that is
all, while some of us Prohibitionists
vote the straight ticket every two
years and think that this will kill the
saloon in a short while, but we do
nothing else. To accomplish our de-
sire each individual must pray, work,
vote and, last but not least, give of his
substance as freely as he can to edu-
cate others. This counts most when
given to the only organization before
which the saloon trembles, the Prohi
bition Party. c. o. W1NeER

Young People flowing.


The young people of Minneapolis
have organized for aggressive and def
mite efforts for the destruction of the
saloon, under the plan of the Young
Peoples Christian Temperance Union.
The doctrine of this organization Is
that the saloon can and ought to be
Immediately destroyed. They scott the
sentiment that it will take fifty or a
hundred years to rid the nation of this
curse. The hopeful sign, moreover, is
the enthusiasm with which all bodies
of Christian young people rally to the
effort The city presidents of the Y.
p. S. C. E., the Epworth League and
the Baptist Young Peoples Union are
all enthusiastic, and believe that the
deed can be done, and that the young
people of the nation will rally for its
consummation And why not? The
young people started with the lofty
purpose of taking the world for Christ,
and after few years of experience,
find that the devil has already con-
trolling interest through false title,
claiming that that. which is morally
wrong can be made legally right. 1t
is this title that the young people pro-
pose to contest. They will make legal
ly wrong that which is morally inqui-
tous. BY removing the cause of crime
and sin by law, they will gain access
into the heart freed from its influence.
by love. 1
The Minneapolis organization, with
Prof. Charles P. Berkey, Phi. D. Of the
State University, as its president, will
take uo che work of law enforcement,
and the Million Vote department, the
purpose of which is securing million
votes pledged against the saloon in
1900, as outlined in our last number.
Something of the spirit which DOM
mates the young people is shown by
the fact that in the face of a blind
ing snow, with the street car service
to many parts of the city paralyzed,
and the entire system in danger of
complete blockade, over three hundred
were in attendance at the regular
meeting of the Union. And on Sun
day night, when no cars were able to
fight the snow, young men waded the
drifts, some as far as five miles, to fill
engagements where they were to ex-
plain the object and plans of the or
ganization to the young peoples
church societies. Grit, grace and "get
there" of that quality win.
