AN UNFORTUNATE PASS.

In view Of the continued friction in
the army resulting from the differ
ences between the lieutenant general
and the war department apd, those
who seem to stand in higher favor
with that end of the organization than
does the general, the announcement
that steps are likely to be taken for
the retirement of Miles need not oc-
casion any surprise. While essential
in every respect that complete har-
mony and accord should exist be-
tween the various persons constitut-
ing the head of the military branch
Of the government, regret is to be felt
that such a condition can only be
brought about by the enforced retire
ment of the lieutenant general.
Notwithstanding his weaknesses in
some respects, General Miles is a
! soldier and man whom all Americans
admire. BY sheer force or worth and
merit he rose from humble degree to
the highest position attainable in the
army under our laws. OF his bravery
and efficiency no one has any doubt.
He has demonstrated possession of
both too often to leave room for ques-
tioning in him either of those quail
fications of a successful military com
mander. For years accustomed to
command and by successive stages
elevated to positions of greater IL
thority and command, he now feels
that she should have the full power
supposedly his by virtue of his pres
ent position and naturally feels the
Sights that nave been put on him and
resents them. Instead of being com
PLEASANT and permitting those whom
he regards unfriendly to him to ok
ercise the authority he believes to be
his, he strikes back at what he con
siders intrusion and speaks his mind
freely whenever occasion affords the
opportunity, thus widening the breach
between him and the others.
For the sake of harmony and the at
tendant increase in efficiency of the
army which would follow such a con-
dition of affairs, it is to be hoped that
the jangling elements may find some
way of getting together and adjust
ing their difficulties without the neces-
sity of the administration adopting the
extreme limited at in the
Washington dispatches. To retire the
general at a time when his retirement
is so near at hand would feeling
all over the country and be resultant
Of much newspaper and other dis
cussion without in any manner
Strengthening the position of those
who are opposing him. ~

Captain Newcomer, the acting Engin-

transmitted to Chairman Babeoek. OF
the District Committee, statement
concerning the proposed alternative To-.
cations for the union station OF Masss-

He discusses ct some length the re-
lative costs of the two sites and the
question of damages and the difficulties
attending the execution of the work at
massachusetts Avenue, and then sum
marizes the relative merits of the two
locations.
The street site is nearer Pennsylvania
Avenue. which is the principal thorough
fare of the city. II is directly on the
line of the principal street railways.

inconvenient detours TO reach the other

view of the monumental character of the
proposed station building. ard on ac-
count OF the greater impression TO be
thus made on countless visitors who en-
ter the city through this gateway;
while to others it may appear objection
able as introducing an element not wor-
thy of being placed in such near reIa-
tion to the National Capitol
The Massachusetts Avenue site af-
lords more ample room at the station
front and easier approaches for han
ding large crowds Il is somewhat
more convenient Of access, except by
street cars. for practically the whole
northeast and northwest sections. As
stated before, the greater distance from
the Capitol is considered an advantage
