Resignation Of General
Miles Looked for.
He IS DISPLEASED
With Roots Plan Of Moderniz.
Ing the Army and Will Re-
sign II Hawiey Bill
10 Passed.

Washington, March 21.-If present
plans now maturing are not changed
for good cause, Lieutenant General
Nelson A. Miles, commanding the
army, will be retired from active SER
vice with few months, and may be
few weeks.
It is no secret in official circles that
Gen. Miles frequent misunderstand-
ings with the executive authorities
since the Spanish war, and particularly
since the army has been undergoing
q gradual process Of reorganization,
have had the effect of alternating him
from that position of confidence which
a military official of his rank must en-
Joy in order that the machinery of the
government over which he exercises
supervision under the commander-in-
chief of the army and navy-the pres
ident,-may run without jar or fric-
ton. Nor Is 1t any secret that Gen.
eral Miles has come in collision with
President Roosevelt ON subjects Of
great importance to the administration
Of the army. as he did with President
Mckinley, or that the relations be-
tween him, the lieutenant general, and
the secretary of war have been grow
Ing more strained since Mr.. Root has
shown a resolute determination to
modernize the army so as to bring
the military establishment of the coun-
try into harmony in its more impor-
tant administrative features with the
armies of Europe.
General Miles told the senate COM
mittec on military affairs that IL the
bill introduced by Senator Hawley at
the instance of the war department
for the organization Of general stan
for the army should become a law he
would decline to longer hold his COM
mission.

denim it. If the pigeon is instantly
killed 1t Is not so bad, but many es-
cape manned, wing or leg broken,
perhaps partly disemboweled, but with
strength enough to fly beyond the
bounds, and reach a distance from
which they are never recovered and
there die in the slow torture of pain
or hunger or cold.
This sport ca furnishes perhaps a
little idle amusement and excitement,
perhaps a little chance for gambling
and betting, and may add little pro-
fit to the various powder and sporting
goods manufacturing concerns, but 1t
disgraces the great state of Ohio; it
gives pain to ninetenths of the people
of the state and it inflicts suffering
upon thousands of helpless, beautiful
and innocent birds every year. 1t is
time for 1t to cease.
We are not asking to abolish trap
shooting, a legitimate and commend
able sport. where the inanimate target
or clay pigeon is used. We only ask
that harmless live birds shall not be
used as targets and mangled and torn
to pieces.
The effect of this cruelty upon the
lads who are employed to feed the birds
into the traps and to club to death or
wiring the necks of the wounded ones,
is something that the state cannot af-
ford to overlook. Let us abolish a
practice SO brutal, inexcusable and in
defensible. How can we do it? That
is the purpose of this letter.
Mr.. Branuock, of Cleront county,
has introduced a bill in the Ohio legis-
lature. which, If passed. will make 1t
illegal to shoot live pigeons from traps
in the state of Ohio.
Write to the member of the assem-
bly, and senate from your district and
ask him to vote for it. See that he
does it or remember him at the next
election. Protest against this brutal
practice. If the members of the legis-
lature understand clearly and unmis-
takably that the people of Ohio want
this bill passed, it will pass though
there will be lobby working against
it, and there was in New York last
spring when it was defeated. But this
last month IL the assembly of New
| York state 1t was passed by vote of
119 to 8. and in the senate by 81 to 6
and promptly signed by Governor
ODell because the people, aided pow
erfully by the press of New York. de-
manded 1t.
Many years ago it was abolished in
Massachusetts,. A bill is pending in
New Jersey to end the practice, and in
other states the matter is being agi-
tated Let Ohio speak In no uncertain
voice and drive this brutal, deplorable
and indefensible practice from her
borders. SAMUEL ID. DODGE,
Sec'y Cleveland Humane Society.

Great things have sometimes been
done by men who never won the battle
