uniting in himself all the theoretical
authority exercised by the command
ing general under the present law and
the power heretofore unofficially vest
ed in the adjutant general. AS draft
ed the new regulations leave little or
nothing of the adjutant generals de-
partment and less of the inspector
generals department. The adjutant
general will keep the records as now
and the orders to the army will be
promulgated and published by him,
but the chief of staff will direct the
issue of the orders.
He will be the intermediate be-
tween the president and secretary Of
war and the army and staff bureaus
will receive instructions and orders
from the chief of staff in the name Of
the secretary of war. The chief oil
staff will have the supervision Of the
troops of the line, Will direct military
operations and in general will be the
most powerful officer that ever held d
position in the army in times Of peace.
OF course at all times he will be sub
ject to the order OF the president and
the secretary of war. Not only the
purely military matters, supposed to
be vested in the commanding general,
are given 10 the new chief of staff ia
the new re yulations, but the supplies
and equipments also arc under his
direction.
