Washington. March %. The state
ments made by Gen. Miles before the
senate committee on military affairs
were discussed by the president yes
terday with a number OF his callers.
There is little doubt that these state
meats ultimately will lead TO Gen.
Miles retirement by the president
In discussing the matter with his
callers. among whom were senator's and
representatives, the president took the
position that the lieutenant general of
the army should entertain toward his
superiors the same respect that he
would expect and demand from his
subordinates.
II is significant that long after the
cabinet meeting adjourned Secretary
Root and the attorney general were
ident is known 10 have stated that he
was tired of the
Friction in the Army,
and whether or not IL is decided that
Gen. Miles statement was privileged
one, he viii at 10 distant day take ac-
ton looking 20 his retirement. The
printed testimony OF Gen. Miles has
not yet been made public and IL Is un-
derstcod that great deal of what the
general said will not appear In the
record. Members OF the committee say
the report published was correct in
substance in every particular. At the
same E.me these senator's do not agree
that Gen. Miles can be punished for his
utterances before the committee,
whether they appear I'm the record or
not. OF course. the committee could
take no action To prevent the retire
ment of Gen. Miles That under the
law Is purely an executive act and
needs no confirmation or approval of
the senate.
