Continuing, the Pope said: Every
time the church has intervened directly
in the serious affairs of the world it

Popes have often stopped oppression
and secured truces and peace treaties.
Civilization would have perished with

REORGANIZATION OF THE ARMY.
MANY RADICAL CHANGES IN
PRESENT STATUS.
Major Generals Lee, Wheeler and
Wilson Will Retire-Otis and
Shafter Raised in Rank.

WASHINGTON, April 11.-An order
has been prepared at the War Depart
ment for the reorganization of the army
on a peace basis, and il will probably
be issued tomorrow. Most of the gem
eral officers of the volunteer establish
ment will be mustered out and radical
changes made in the staff departments
of the same, including the discharge of
about sixty paymasters
With the exceptions of Generals Otis.
Shafter, Lawton and Macarthur, all the
volunteer Major Generals will be dis
charged, including Generals Wade. Will
son, Lee, Wheeler Bates, Young. Chat
fee, Anderson, Sumner, Ludlow, Henry
and Wood.
Wheeler, Lee and Wilson hold commits
sions of lower grade in the regular
army, and, consequently will not neces-
sarily have to relnquish their present
commands.
Under its reorganization the army is
entitled to two additional Major Cen
erals, and Generals Otis and Shafter
have been chosen for these appoint
mentS.
Law officers of the Government are
discussing, in the light of the Presi-
dents proclamation announcing the
conclusion of peace, the question of
mastering out the volunteer army 1t is
agreed that the law will be construed
to mean that the muster out of the
troops shall be upon orders of the Ex-
ecutlve, and that, necessarily, thare
must be delay of month or SO in
the discharge OF the volunteers. In
accordance with the precedent estab-
lished at the close of the civil war, a
few of the volunteer organizations may
be retained in the service for some time,
although those who desire to return
home will be permitted to do so.
The law authorities hold that in order
that the volunteers in the Philippines
may remain in the service in accord
ance with the provisions of the army
law passed by the last Congress. they
must re-enlist, not as organizations. but
as individuals. The organizations and
the individuals who choose to go with
them must be mustered out in this
country
These individual volunteers who re-
enlist in the Philippines will receive not
only the two months extra pay provided
for on their discharge from the army.
but also travel pay from this country to
the Philippines and return, amounting
to about $500 The war officials have
| decided that it would be more desirable
to take a trained soldier in the Philip
pines than to send that soldier. home
and return a raw recruit.
If the applications for discharges are
any criterion, it is evident that the vol
unteers in the Philippines are not anx-
ious to remain, and will take advan-
tage of the law to demand their muster
out
The effect Of the proclamation declar-
ing peace will be felt by the enlisted
| men in the regular army to the extent
of reduction of 20 per cent. in pay.
