ARMY GENERAL STAFF.
Bureau officials 4nTious Ouer Its
Gro7cing Importance.

Washington May Il (SpeciaD.-The officers OF
the army who attending the preliminafy
sessions Of the General Staff were impressed
this week during the address delivered by Cen
eral William H Carter. the author OF the Heh-
eral Staff law and representative of Secretary
Root at the Capitol in behalf of army leglsia-
ton last winter and who made a statement OF
tie proposed work and functions OF the ne"
General Staff. 1t has been a question all along
whether the General Staff would be purely ad-
visory in it's functions or somewhat admlnlstra-
tive and it now appears that it is to be IargeF
administrative and occasionally ADVISORY. 1h's
has created a profound sensation among 'i1
bureau chiefs, who have feared all along mat
their duties would be intrenched upon by the
General Staff and that matters Whlch nave
hitherto been regarded as entirely Withlh the
province of the respective bureaus Would COME
under the General staff for action Some sug-
gestion os the work which devolves upon the new
body has been given by the duties now being
performed by the War College Board. which has
already taken upon itself work hitherto done
by the different bureaus Of the department, m
Guiding the direction Of funds for the conStruc
ton of barracks ard quarters the Selectoh VI
sites for coast forts and similar matters.
One Of the interesting results OF the GeLtneta ID ID
tions of the War College Board Is lllustTaIeI
by the case which originated with the CHIEF OF
artillery of the army. That oflcer. Genera
Randolph bappens to he member Of the war
College Board so when ne submits matter
70 The comma ndine general he sends It to the
War College Board which. in turn. refers 1t 10
its artillery expert. General Randolph, with
the effect that that officer. as a member OF the
War College Board. passes on his own recon-
mendations as chief of artillery. The document
goes back 20 the War Department or course,
with the Endorsement of the War College board
on a recommendation TO the chief of artillery.
The members Of the General Staff were IN
formed by General Carter that Secretary Root
had not abandoned his theory of the virtue OF
the rroiect he had originally entertained in re-
scheme
ofnte5 that the authorities still cherish the in
te1tion of merging with the General Staff the
inspector generals department, and OF COM
hining certain other departments as well as
nlacing army transportation in an independent
branch This mas caused something of COM
motion among the bureau ottcers OF the depart.
vent Who begin to think that the General Staff
is a good deal more of body than they have
been ina aginng.

IMMIGRANTs WHO FAILED TO GET IN.

Washington. May Il (SpeciaD.-There were
6s5 immigrants denied admission to the United
States at immigrant stations along the Canadian
border in the month OF April While this is
considered a large number by immigration Off

graduation that this undesirable portion of the
intended addition to the population of the coun-

OF the number excluded 256 were afflicted with

Northern lynchings and prejudice everywhere have
no shadow OF apology, from the Christian stand
point. From economic. industrial, racial or
political standpoint argument may be made against
the negro From the standpoint of the Gospel
there cannot be word said against him on ac-
count of color

better side to this race problem Here the le3ro
