LONDON. June o.-The report Of the COM
mittee to inquire into the reor ganization OF

pieoemeal as q result Of constant changes.
There has been a disposition on tho part Of
energetic heads OF departments to enlarge
tho area OF their activities beyond all reason.
Great confusion has been thereby introduced
and individual responsibility cannot be as
signed.
These evils have been enormously aug
mentsd owing TO tho government OF the

system Of minute regulations which tend
to destroy the responsibility OF general
officers and suppress initiative and indi-
viduality In all ranks. Tho comp!exity Of
