Mr. and Mrs. Lee arrived in Manila ON

ruE WAR DEPARTMENT.

The pubIIc has heard much Of late about
the necessity for "reorganizing ana eh-
largIng" our army, but il is evident that
| our War Department stands more In need
| Of reorganization than the army.
There is something radically wrong In
our military system and there has been
much Indifferent material i'm the personnel
Of the department. During the war for
southern independence the United States
war Department was hindrance rather
than a help to the Federal generals in the
field. And during our brief trouble with
feeble. old Spain. General Alger ana MS
associates gave daily evidence OF inca
paclty. If Of nothing worse.
We think It safe to presume that the
war Office managed the three or four
regiments which rendezvoused at Rich
mond as well as It managed the army
generally. and we know that those regi-
ments were always the victims of uncer-
tainty and often Of short rations ana alb
surdly contradictory orders. Then why
should we be surprised to learn now that
much Of the beef which was sent to Cuba
and Porto Rico was unfit 10 eat?
That some Of the meat was "embalmed'
has been clearly proved that much more
Of It was rotten has been demonstrated
beyond question. Notwithstanding the fact
that the War ONCE has given little help
to the ascertainment of the truth
That there is to be a large increase OF
the strength Of the army is certain; but
we could face that prospect with more
composure If we had the assurance that
the War Department would be reorganized
upon new basis and with wiser and bet
ter men in it. Alger, Eagan, Corbin' and
all that set would better be relieved OF
duty there.
II might be desirable to shelve General
Miles. also. Between Miles and the Pres
ident there Is no love lost and so long as
Mr.. Mckinley Is President the major
general commanding" will be persona
non grata" at the White House. How
ever. we believe the army bill provides
for the appointment of 4 lieutenant-gene-
ral and we violate no confidence when
we say that General Miles will hardly be
the Presidents nominee
If the report of the Dodge commission
amounts TO anything at all, it will set
forth the shortcomings of the War Office,
and that i'm connection with the pro-
ceedings of the Eagan court-maruai'
ought to be sufficient 20 cause the Presi-
dent TO crafty the public by reorganizng
the War Department. As now organized
and constituted. it is enough to paralyze
the efficiency of the best army that this
country can call into its service.
