charged with the distribution of the
Cecil Rhodes scholarships in the col

terday from England on the Cunard
steamer Campania.
There are some 200 scholarships to
be distributed in the states and col
onies," said DR.. Parkin. Il have been
ait oxford for several weeks trying
TO get the wishes of the Oxford au-
tborities as to the manner of distri-
Button. There are twenty-one colleges
at oxford and each wants such schol-
arships as are awarded ii to come
under its own peculiar rules of en-
trance and so forth. Some prefer to
have postgraduate and others under
graduate scholarships. For the next
year ! shall be kept busy visiting and
consulting with leading educators of
the states and colonies as to the best
methods OF selecting candidates for the
various scholarships which are allotted
to their several districts. Each of
these scholarships carries with it ST.

an interesting question just what class

the powers which appear and are as
stunned to be conferred along with the
ute of commanding general of the
army. This follows from the con-
stltution of our government The con-
sutution requires the president to be
the commander of the army. and a
great variety of laws require the sec
rotary of war. who directly represents
the president, to supervise and direct
the expenditure of the vast sums of
money appropriated annually by con-
gress for the support of the army AS
every important movement requires the
use of money, so long as the secre-
tary of war performs this duty faith
fully he must practically control the
operations Of the army in time of
peace, and there cannot be any in
dependent command of the army, ex-
cept that which the president himself
exercises over the secretary of war
and everybody else in the military es-
Enlistment. 1t is because congress
has always looked TO the civilian sec
rotary at the head of the war. de-
partment to hold the purse strings,
that the laws require all the great de-
partments which build the fortifica-
tons, and furnish the arms supplies
and munitions Of war. and actually ex-
pend the money for those purposes.

termaster's and subsistence depart

the secretary, and withhold from the

Scott and Sherman.


This way of treating the expendi-
ture of money is an expression of the
ingrained tendency of the American
people to insist upon civilian control of
the military arm, Our fathers inner
tied that from England and we have
always held to il. 1t is not likely to
be changed in substance. One result
of the arrangement is that the officer
who is called commanding general of
the army cannot in time of peace
really exercise any substantial power
at all unless he acts in conformity to
the policy and views of the secretary
of war, acting under the direction of
the president; that is 10 say. he can
not exercise any independent command:
and this must always be so long as
the secretary of war performs the du-
ties which are imposed upon him by
law and which are essential to the
maintenance of civilian control over
the military establishment. 1t was the
inability to exercise the power which
the title of commanding general of
the army" appears to carry with it.
but which does not really exist, that
led General Scott to leave Washington
and establish his headquarters in New
York, and General Sherman to remove
to st. Louis, both of them abandoning
nection with the administration of the
army in Washington. And this diff
Guilty has been the cause of the almost
constant conflict and bitter feeling in
the administration of the army for the
past fifty years. to the very great in
jury of the service and very great loss
of efficiency.
1t does not follow, however, that the
principal and most trusted general of
the army cannot exercise a great and
commanding influence in the control
of the army, and practically manage it
in all military matters. What does
follow is that he can do this only by
abandoning the idea of independent
command and by assuming the posi-
ton and performing the functions
which l have described as belonging
TO a chief of staff. General Schofield
did this with entire success and rem
dered great service to the country by
doing so.
