WASHINGTON, Jan. S0-It is stated at
the war department that neither Of the
general officers detailed yesterday, Wade
and Ludlow, are sent out to Manila with
a purpose Of relieving Gen. Macarthur.
Ihere has been no attempt to forecast
the promotions in the regular army
which will result from the passage Of the
pending army reorganization bill, When
that bill becomes a law 1t Will be en-
tlrely within the power of the president
to designate the order in which commits
sIons shall be issued to the major gen.
erals created thereby. The first officer
commissioned as major general, Of
course, by the rules Of seniority, which
Will still obtain, Will become entitled to
the command whenever he comes in con-
tact with an officer Of like grade.
Thus, If the president wishes Mac
Arthur to retain command in the Phil
ippines, and that officer cares to remain
after Wade's arrival, 1t will simply be-
come necessary to allow MacArthur's
commission as major general to antedate
Wade's, and that will be done If Mac
Arthur remains But 1t has been under
stood for several months that Macarthur,
having served quite as long In the tropics
as is consistent with health and SOUND
military practice is likely to come home
in the late spring.
By the same understanding Gen. Chat
fee has been assigned as his successor.
and present indications afford no reason
for change In the belief that If Mac
Arthur cares to come homeland that Ia
left to his own chotce-his natural suc-
cessor will be Gen. Chaffee
