The suggestion is 50 appropriate, and
it seems TO ne so desirable, that the pro-

GEN. CROZIER Relieved
FROM ORDNANCE BOARD
His Confirmation as Bureau
Chief Now Expected.

Prior 10 his departure from Washing
ton the Secretary of War prepared an
order relieving from duty as members Of
the Board Of Ordnance and Fortifcations
Gen. William Crozier, Chief of Ordnance
and Capt. I. N Lewis, Recorde, OF the
board 1t is believed that tbs action
by the department viii mean the confirm
alton of General Crozier as Chief of the
Bureau of Ordnance
Major Charles Shaler, OF the Ordnance
Bureau, has been made a member Of
the board 10 fill the vacancy created by
General Crozier's relief, and Capt. Harry
Taylor, Of the Engineer Corps, becomes
recorder Of the board. vice Lewis, re-
lieved
The principal objection saised by the
Senate to the confirmation of CAPTAIN
Crozier as Chief Of Ordnance with the
rank Of b-igadier general was that. being
himself an inventor of army ordnance.
he was not qualified to be a member Of the
Board Of Ordnance and Tortihcations.
which judges all ordnance designs and de-
termines whether or not they shall be
adopted as types for the United States
army. The relief of General Crozier Is
therefore concession or the part of the
War Department TO the demands OF the
Senate, and was done at the earnest. re-
quest of certain Senator's friendly to the
officer.
Capt. I. \. Lewis, the other officer af-
fected by the order, is also an inventor Of
ordnance. among which is the range and
position finder now used at all seacoast
Notifications He is also the alleged dis
eoveFer Of the secret Of the French field
gun, now before the Board of Ordnance
and Fortifcations for adoption by the
army as a type In relieving Crozier for
being an inventor. it was. Of course, nee
essary to take similar action in the case
Of Lewis
Although the officials Of the War De-
partment DO not believe that General
Crozier is not qualified to act judiciously
in determining ordnance types, it was
realized, il is said, that concessions must
be made to the Senate to procure his con-
frmation as Chief of Ordnance In such
position he viii not have the power to
determine types, but viii simply carry
out the directions OF the Board of Ord
nance and FOTtifica tons. It is believed
by army officers that his nomination Will
now be confirmed

the crisis for the present.

ment for electoral reform comes, We VIII

riotous agitation"
the extremists, agreed to the govern
ments position. The discussion was
closed.
Previous TO the premier's proposition
matters had zasty aspect in the Cham
Der. The premier declared the event
would end the discussion Immediately
The Liberals and Socialists recently
protested against this action. and for a
short time it looked as though matters
would reach a crisis.
After the proposition had been made and
agreed to, however, the members settled
down to quiet consideration and order
was restored
Two prominent lawyers, NJ Deswaerte
and NJ. Gheude, were today summoned be-
fore the council Of war for refusing to
serve on the Guard Civique
An incident, Illustrating the earnestness
of the Socialists, occurred today. A So
cialist master painter, named Smalens,
advised his force of seventv-ive workmen
to join the strike They promptly fol-
lowed his advice
The strikes in the coal fields are seri-
ously affecting the railways. The admin
istration has ordered that the roads stop

lutely necessary.
