GUARDSMEN ARE PLEASED
REORGANIZATION OF THE MILITIA AGREE
ABLE TO ALL SAVE FRIENDS OF
GENERAL BUTT.

The order consolidating the First and Fifth bri-
gades Of the National Guard, and placing the
ganized force under the command of General George
Moore Smith, caused much comment In National
Guard circles yesterday. The order gives general
satisfaction. and is looked upon wise step on
the part of the commander n-chef. General Butt
who is made supernumerary by the order, was the
senior general officer in Manhattan. but General
Smiths ripper experience and popularity We're doubt
less taken into consideration by the Governor when
he made the appointment,
General Smith. the new commander of the First
Brigade, when seen yesterday, said that he had
nothing to say on the subject of the new order
My staff will remain just as it is" he said, and
unless l am ordered to go elsewhere shall con-
tinue to have my headquarters in the list Regiment
Armory."
An officer said that there was a funny side to the
story. General smith, said he, "and several Off
GERS OF his brigade the Waldorf Astoria

fresh air. General Smith happened TO his col
league, spoke to him and was told by Butt that
he had been fired. We look upon the retirement
of Butt a blow the fuss and feathers element
In the guard which is going into rapid decline"
General Butt, when he by a Tribune re-
porter yesterday at the Union Club declined to talk
about the order which places him practically the
shelf. THE order speaks for ITSELF" he said. and
l have to submit. AS officer of the guard can
not cFiticise the order"
Some friends of General Butt were outspoken in
deploring the order They said its only object was
" Sot HeheidI nult out, ana tHere hau DeeI
arbitrary use Of power, which many officers of
regiments in his former brigade would resent.
IT has been the custom 10 elect brigadier-gen-
erals said officer who is friendly to General
Butt "and the departure from the rule In the ap-
pointment of General Smith is the BILE
because General Butt was the senior of General
Smith, the date of election the office, and
General Butt was elected unanimously. while Cen
eral Smith elected by bare majority. The
creation OF brigade with seven regiments of in
fantry in it is blunder or course. 1t would be
impossible for brigadier- general to command
SO many regiments in the field Major-Genera Roe
probably is responsible for the order and he has
time. The effort of General Butt to make charges
against General Roe some time created ad-
ditional feeling. The order places General Smith in
an unenvable position, hut II is not supposed that
he would have favored such order II he had been
consulted"
