MILES WANTS TO FIG6T.
Asks 10 BE Assigned TO Active Ser
vice I'm China


Lieutenant General Miles has applied for
service in China. but it Is believed his re-
quest will not be acted upon fayorably un-
less IL should be deemed advisable con-
siderably TO augment the strength of the
forces now under orders. The ranking
General OF the Army is anxious for active
service. as he was during the Cuban war
and later when the insurrection broke out
in the Philippines, but it is by no means
certain the Administration VIII be willing
to 90 so far as TO permit his assignment
for work in China.
The plan that General Niles has in view
is TO proceed to Manila for the purpose OF
inspection, ard on reaching the Philippine es
70 be transferred to Chinese territory
should conditions warrant There are many
reasons, sorle OF the officials believe. why
this Government should ee represented by
General Miles. Secretary Root is as yet
indisposed 10 grant the Generals request.
General Miles, il is understood repre-
sented TO Secretary Root that the gather
ing together in China Of large .detachuents
OF The armies Of Europe would give him al
opportunity 70 observe ard study al ore

adjustments Of the world II is said also
that measure Of personal ambition has
inspired the request OF the Lieutenant
General As the chief military officer Of
the United States he wogld probably out
rank all Of the European commanders. and
would, therefore, be selected 10 command
the immense allied forces by means OF
which IL IS supposed the powers will seek
TO bring the Chinese 10 their senses In
such an event General Miles would perhaps
have under him = greater army than has
ever been commanded by any man since
the time OF Napoleon
General Chaffee is but a colonel in the
Regular Army and is outranked BY Colonel
rzggett and also by Colonel Liscum now
at Taku with the Ninth Infantry The
Russian forces and the British are in
charge OF officers superior in rank 10 the
three Americans. while even the smaller
nations whose interests are small com
pared 10 that OF the United States. have
officers in command Of forces superior In
rank 10 Americans.

make the slightest difference what term We
apply to the struggle. in which already
many American lives have been sacrificed.
and in which little bunch Of our brave S,
soldiers are battling almost without hope
in Tientsin. 1t is war and nothing but
war. Ultimately there is every prospect
that Mr.. Mckinley will be con- PEELED 10 call
Congress together in extraordinary session.
1t would be wisdom to take time by the
forelOck and do so at once
One can readily appreciate the embar-
rassment which such a duty imposes upon
a Chief of State who desires TO have his
hands free from all complications. that
he may work ;singly for his reelection
Beyond question ii would be depressing to
call in all the political lights Of the party
from CO snittee work and stumping tours
and compel thsmrto gather in Washington

be more easily spared from the field now
than Ia er on, and the Administration
should see this point and hasten instead

How hard it often is to earn and

the public backed up by honesty and
work their way quietly but thorough
ly. Marietta people want no better
proof of merit than is contained in the
following experience of citizen:

The Single Tax and Wages.

Dr.. Longstreets lecture in the city
park last night was on the subject of
the single tax and wages. BY the use
Of his illustrated charts and his lucid
explanations of them he Is very sue
cessful in conveying his message to
the intelligence of his hearers.
That the people are becoming more
interested in single tax teachings is
evidenced by the increased attendance
at each succeeding lecture and the
thoughtful attention given by his au-
dience. More questions were put to
the Doctor last night than any night
before, and were apparently answered
to the satisfaction of the enquirers.
An effort is being made by the local
single takers to secure Dr.. Long

continuation of his lecturs.
