COMMANDS IN THE PHILIPPINES
plan IS under consideration at the
War Department to create an army d.
vision OF the Philippines, and 20 divide
the division into departments on basis
similar 10 that IN Cuba. The Idea is ~
create four departments In the Philip
pines. al least three OF which will be CONS
mandod by majOr-generals. The philip
pines have heretofore been known as ths
Department Of the Pacific.
There is little doubt that Lawton ana
Macarthur will remain where they now
are. and probably the command In the
island south OF Manila will be under CONF
mand OF a brigadler-general. Another Of
fccr will have to be selected for the de-
partment IN the far northern part OF tho
island at the terminus Of the Dagupen
railroad.
Tho plan IS to give each departmene
commander all the troops that can b9
successfully operated. and which VIII In

Is one of the chief objects. Represents
tions which have been made 10 the Wan
