The most serious criticism is in regard
to absenteeism where officers are on de-
tached duty, leaving the regime too short

He has the following to say regarding
his inspection in the Philippines:
During my tour in. the Philippines it
was evident }on all sides that the:arn1y, as
q whole, was laboring patiently and faith
fully to ss0lye the Jmaay vexing problems
continually presented TO it. .#SSs > z E$z% :
= THE difficulties se1pountered and the
hardshipss endured never can be fully ap-
preciated by: any one who has not been
on the ground and observed the daily life
of officers and men, miles away from
home influences and associations, living in
communities either openly or secretly hos
tile, depending almost entirely for their
subsistence upon the commissary, where
one is always afraid to take even an or
dinary drink of water without ascertaining
first whether it has been cooked"
Discussing the American troops and the
Fillipinos, General Breckenridge says:
I'm the conduct of the American army
toward them the exercise Of unexampled
patience Is claimed, and the humanity Of
the troops engaged has no" parallel in the
history Of dealing with Asiatics."

members while the company says there
are so many of the union men who re-
side outside Of the city and in the ad-
tacent cities where they have to use the

THE CIVIL SERVICE
Annual Report of the Chief Exami-
ner Is Made Public.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE annual re-
port of A. r. Servin. chief examiner of the
civil service commission, shows that dur
ing the last fiscal year there were 60. .558
people examined In and for the classified
service, of whom 40,609 passed and 1928
were appointed, promoted or transferred.
In addition, 1,174 persons were examined
for the Philippine service, Of whom 408
passed and 694 failed The local boards
of examiners specially designated for the
custodian service were discontinued On
June 80 last the total number Of local
boards Of examiners was 1923, with a
total membership of 1928. Final steps
are now being taken to consummate the
complete organization of a civil service
district similar to the Boston district,
with headquarters at San Francisco in
immediate charge of a consolidated board
Of commissioners. The written examina-
tions required the preparation of 438 sets
of exaninat ton questions on different sub
jects, which necessitated the preparation
of ,S51 separate sheets of tests.
Over $50, 600 sheets Of examination ques-
tions were handled. The great complexity
Of the work done under the direction Of
Chief Examiner Servin is shown by the
large number of examinations which in
clude subjects of a special, professional or
technical character. OF these there were
20S examinations, in which 8,257 persons
took part. We'll nigh every field OF pro-
fessional or scientific inquiry and research
is represented in the variety of the exam
nations. The commission has held COM
petitive examinations in every state and
territory except Alaska. Several attempts
at examination work in Alaska have been
attempted, but abandoned. Another eff
fort, however, may be made soon. Facili-
ties have been furnished to residents of
Hawaii to compete in the general and
local civil service examinations in Homo
lulu and Hilo, and residents of Porto Rico
hereafter may take the general and local
examinations at Ponce and San Juan
Much attention has been given during tho
year to the upbuilding. of the service in
the Philippine islands.
