Of actual command, so that there can
be no conference of military plans and
purposes. Gen. Grant, who divorced the
army from the command of the secre-
tary of war, afterwards restored the
conditions which had embarrassed the
army commanders for many years
Consequently, with all respect to the
memory of that great soldier, it must
truthfully be said that il is by his or

This condition of affairs will continue
under all generals until the congress
shall take action, and enact a law which
will make it impossible for anybody to
come between the commanding general
and his troops.
There are ten bureau chiefs attached
to the office of the secretary of war, all
of them brigadier generals, and all OF
them independent of the commanding
general. under whose direct orders
they should be required to serve, in

in time of war. The ten brigadier gen.
erals, known as bureau chiefs, are as
follows:
The adjutant general, who 10 the
military clerk to the secretary OF wa:,
through whom all orders are issued to
the army. He Is the chief staff officer
but can issue no orders on his own re-
sponsibility.
The Judge advocate general is the
legal authority of the war department,
and his duties are seldom increased in
time of war although every other staff
officer, including the adjutant general,
have their duties multiplied.
The inspector general is charged
with inspections of the troops of their
camps, of their food supplies, their
medical supplies and their surgical at
tendance. He inspects their clothing,
their arms their ammunition, and
everything connected with their by
gienic surroundings.
ltis the duty of the quartermaster
general to provide quarters for all
armies, furnish them with clothing and
supplies, furnish transportation, horses
for cavalry and artillery, and all duties
kindred thereto,
The commissary general is charged
with the duty of providing food for the
army no ma>ter how numerous may be
the soldiers. 1t is expected that the
commissary general will purchase and
send to the troops only the best army
rations obtainable; and that he will
keep the supplies going forward as
rapidly as the quartermaster general
can handle them.
The surgeon general is expected to
furnish medical supplies, hospital sur
geons hospital stewards, hospital
nurses, and all appliances for the com
fort and well being of the soldiers
whether in camp or field, and parSic'
ularly when the soldiers are cam
paigning and engaging in battle.
The paymaster generals duties arc
implied in the name of the office. The
paymaster general is responsible fol
the payment of the soldiers, and hpor
him devolves great responsibility, par
ticularly in time Of war.
The chief of engineers has charge o.

provements, bridge buildings hand
ling pontoons for army use in cross
ing streams, and in debarking and EN-
barking troops
The chief of ordnance is charged with
supplying the army with the latest i'm.
proved cannons, rifles and other fire
arms. and with the ammunition to
make them available for offense and
defense.
The chief signal officer has charge Of
the military telegraph and signal serv
ice. During the late war with SPAR
this branch OF the army rendered cx
cepiionally valuable service in laying
telegraph and telephone lines, and in
destroying submarine cables which
were in use by the enemy.
These staff officers cost the country
n great deal of money. whether in time
of peace or in time of war. The pay
roll recapitulated, follows:

ABETtBdlts to' tV-N
They come high, but we must have
them. This brief statement does not
begin to cover their expense, because
in addition to these there are others,
many others. The figures given do not
include the armies in the field in times
of peace and war. The last army ap.
preparation bill aggregated upwards
of $50 100000.
Moreover, in addition TO the pay oil
the general staff. given above, the gov
eminent pays four cents per mile to
officers who are travelling. and this Is
in addition TO their paid trarsporta,
ton furnished by the quartermaster
generals department. For example
an officer ordered from Boston 10 Ma.
Mia would travel about $1,000 miles
and he would get foUr cents per mile
in addition to his paid transportation.
The government would take him 10
Manila, and pay him $3.50 additional
for making the trip. Consequently, the
army officers like to be ordered about
because every trip they make In
creases their annual incomes.
Private soldiers get nothing but
their transportation, their food and
clothing, and the opportunity to be
killed. But the officers are better paid
than in any other country. Moreover
they have gold braid, epaulettes, So
ciety advantages, hops, dances and
opportunities TO marry heiresses. Even
with the risk Of life in battle, in these
days when wars seldom occur it is
much better for young men to seek APP
pointments as army officers than to &c
into politics and aspire for the presi-
dency. Almost any good fellow ear
get to be an army officer, but few sue
coed in politics. SMITH d. FRY.
