SHALL THE MARINES
BE TRANSFERRED
TO The ARMY
Suggestion to Detach That
Branch of the Service From
the Navy Said to Have the
Approval Of Secretary Root.

The informal, or at least unofficial
proposition of somewhat sensational
character, has been engaging the at
tention of the naval general board. 1t
IS no less than the transfer of the ma
rine corps from the navy department to
the war department and the merging of
that corps with the military establish
ment. Mr.. Root is said to entertain
this idea and to be quite insistent upon
carrying it out. 1t is supposed that in
project he does not necessarily have
the sympathy of the president, and he
certainly has not obtained the support
of the secretary of the navy or the
members of the naval general board.
At least two members of that board,
Admiral Dewey and Rear Admiral Tay
lor, have expressed themselves emphat-
ically in behalf of the marines and in
defense of the present coalition be-
tween the marine corps and the navy
Mr.. Roots attitude toward the marine
corps-said to be none too friendly
IS believed to arise from the promf-
hence given to the alleged policy of
certain army officers in the Philippines,
as disclosed in the defense of Maj. l..
w. T. Waller, of the marine corps. dur
ing the proceedings against him in the
Philippines. Mr.. Root evidently be-
lieves that the function of the marine
corps can best be discharged in con-
junction with the army.

PROMOTION FOR FITNESS.
Bill in Behalf of ChapIains Has High
Official Endorsement.

The bill introduced in the house and
senate in behalf of chaplains Of the
army has the official Endorsement Of
the adjutant general and the secretary
of war. The latter, in his cOmmunica-
ton to the military committee, says the
measure is one which commends itself
to the department, inasmuch as it in
wolves the principle of promotion by
selection on a determination of indi-
Vidual merit, which, says Secretary
Root, ought to be applied to promotions
throughout the army. This is signifi-
cant comment to come from Mr.. Root,
although it is not a novel position for
the secretary to assume. He has hith-
ertO appeared as an advocate of pro-
motion by merit instead Of seniority.
In his letter on the conditions in rela>
ton to the bill he says that some of
the chaplainS are incompetent, but that
most of them are able, Jealous and
conscientious, and that the time has
come when the distinction ought to be
recognized and when the efficient and
worthy chaplains should be rewarded.
The military committees are in receipt
of numerous letters in favorable eX-
preston Of opinion on the measure.
These come from such leading theolo-
gianS as Cardinal Gibbons, Bishop Nc
Cabe; Bishop Hamilton, of California;
Bishop Hendrix, of Missouri, and the
Rev. DR.. Van Dyke, and such army
officers as the commissary gen
eral, inspector general and Lieut.. Gen.
Miles.

LINEAL RANK QUESTION.
Postponement of Promotion of Off

Postponement of Promotion of OFF,
GERS Whose Positions Are in Dispute.
The senate military committee has
not acted on the nominations of first
and second lieutenants of the line,
whose positions on the lineal list are
in dispute. Last week the senate con-
firmed the nominations Of other army
officers who are not concerned in the
question embodied in the Bankhead
bill the civil court mandamus proceed
ings. There has been on the part of
senators some inquiry of the war de-
partment some inquiry regarding the
question of Hneal rank, and to such
application for information Mr.. Root
letters which has preceded to the SEN
ate and house military committees
from the adjutant general and other
officials on this subject. Among other
inQuirers has. been Senator CockrelI,
member of the senate military COM
mittee. If the senate fails to confirm
these nominations before March 4 it
will be necessary to make what is
known as recess appointments, and
this action will be taken without mo-
testing the names of lieutenants as
they now appear on the lineal list of
cavalry, infantry and artillery. 1t will
still be necessary, of course, to await
the senatorial confirmation, which
would not take place until the begin
ming of the session next December if
the present session ends without ac-
ton in the matter and if there be no
extra session.

NATIONAL GUARD NOTES.

The chance Of the passage of bill
by congress providing for a bureau Of
militia, to be presided over by a ma
tiOnal guard officer, is very good The
war department is opposing the meas
ure very strongly and may succeed
in defeating it. Whichever way it goes
the militia will be we'll cared for. The
Army and Navy Journal, grinding it's
AK says:
militia law should be. kept strictly
within the Jurisdiction Of the war de-
partment. To place any national guard
officers in power would give rise to end
less jealoUsies, and would be otherwise
illadvised and unsatisfactory. Army
officers are the only ones who can be
properly detailed to inspect, and at
tend to the carrying out Of the new
laws. They can perform their duties
without any bias and their selection
for that application of the new law is
received by the militia with practical
ly unanimous approval. In spite Of
this, the plan for creating a special
bureau of national guard officers is by
no means dead and will be urged"
Should the bill not pass, however,
1t is not the intention of the war de-
partment to keep the militia division.
recently established, as a part of the
adjutant generals department. Secre-
tary Root intends that all matters per-
tanning to the militia that come under
the supervision of the national govern
ment shall be attended to by the gen.
eral staff of the army, which, under
the recent act of congress, will be es-
tablished next August. Little Of a
definite nature will be done by the war
department pending the establishment
of the general staff corps.
1t begins to look now as though moth
ing will be done by the federal gov
eminent aside from issuing the Krags
this year. In which event the various
state troops will go into camp under
same conditions as in previous years.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Interpretations and Decisions of the
Tactical Board.

Tactical Board.
II. M. H. writes: Infantry Drill Reg
ulations states that the space oceu-
pied by one man is twenty eight inches
twenty- eight inches). Cavalry Drill
Regulations gives the space occupied
by trooper dismounted as twenty-five
in page As, Cav, Drill Reg. Why is
the space occupied by an infantryman
greater than a disnlounted, cavalryman?
Answer-The space occupied by an in
fantryman allows six inches between
files, which is utilized by the rear rank
during load and fire.
w. A. S. asks: Is there such a COM
mand as Ground arms?' If not, what
would be the proper command If,
arms, you wish them to lay
them down for the purpose Of Civ
ing some other instructions, as, for
example, "the setting up exercises 2"
Answer-There is no provision in Drill
Regulations for the command Ground
arms" Stack arms" is generally
used on occasions such as you men
ton. However, in most .arn1orieS, the
stack" is almost impossible owing to
the smooth surface of the floor, and
Ground arms" becomes a necessity;
while it is not strictly tactical, 1t is
certainly permissible
Veteran asks: Battalion marching
in column of tours, in double time,
the command being given CLOSE col
umn, first company, fours left, march,,
should the first company be halted
after going eight PAGES in the new
direction, by command Of it's captain,
or continue the march from that point,
in quick time, followed by the other
companies, until the battalion Is halted
by command of the major? Answer
The first company would advance eight
in n nd a
by command of its captain. 1t would
be impossible to execute this move
ment and continue the march, as the
close column distances could not be
attained as laid down by regulations.
To continue the march as suggested
would simply resolve the movement
into ''clOse in mass" In double time.
In this movement, if the first COM
pany took up quick time as soon as 1t
changed it's direction, it would be more
than eight PAGES from the flank Of the
second company when it had reached
it's place in the column, and would
have to continue in double time (sec-
Ond company in the new. position
until it reached its position in the col
umn. This would open the distance
of the other companies even greater.
This especially in companies Of thirty
two files front.
j. w. LIT is the custom Of the
service that the adjutant takes post
where the line is to be formed, and
has the sergeant major report to him
at that point, when they both draw
sword and take post, marking the
alignment. The guides are posted ac-
cording to section a. par. 288. Guides
are posted at the preparatory COM
mand of the major if from a halt,
which means only those Of the first
company to arrive on the line. The
other guides precede their companies
when about twenty PAGES from the
line. The regimental adjutant does
not return the saIutes of battalion adj
jutants when reporting on parade.

You Can Try 1t for Yourself and Prove


One grain Of the active principle in
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
5000 grains of meat, eggs or other
wholesome food, and this claim has
been proven by actual experiment
in the following manner: Cut hard
boiled eggs into very small pieces, as
it would be if maSticated, place the
egg and two or three of the tablets in
a bottle or jar containing warm water
heated to SO degrees (the temperature
Of the body and keep it at this tenn
perature for three and one-haIf hours,
at the end of which time the egg will
be as completely digested as it would
have been in the healthy stomach of a
hungry boy.
The point Of this experiment is that
what StuaVts Dyspepsia Tablets will
do to the egg in the bottle it will do
to the egg or meat in the stomach and
nothing else will rest and inVigorate
the stomach so safely and effectually.
Even little child can take Stuart's
Tablets with safety and benefit If it's
digestion is weak and the thousands
of cures accomplished by their regu-
lar daily use are easily explained when
1t is understood that they are COM
posed of vegetable essences, asceptic
pepsin, diastase and Golden Seal, which
mingles with the food and digests 1t
thoroughly, giving the overworked
stomach chance to recuperate.
Dieting never cures dyspepsia, neith-
er do pills and cathartic medicines
which simply irritate and infiame the
fntestines.
When enough food is eaten and
promptly digested. there will be no
constipation, nor in fact will there be
disease Of any kind because good d.
gestion means good health in every or
gan.
The merit and success OF Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets are world wide and
they are sold at the moderate price Of
SO cents for full sized package in ev-
cry drug store in the United States
and Canada, as we'll as in Europe.

WARD Is GENERAL MANAGER.
Is Elected by Board of Directors of
Great Northern.

F. E. Ward, formerly general super
intendent Of the Great Northern, has
been elected by the board of directors
of the company to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of ]. F. Ste
vens as general manager. Mr.. Ward
will have control Of the entire Great
Northern system.
The promotion of Mr.. Ward to the
position of general manager Of the
Great Northern is noteworthy in that
he is but young man, being but thir-
ty-five years of age. He has earned
the confidence of President j. J. Hill
on account of his efficiency, and Is gen.
orally regarded as one of the best rail-
road men in the country, though he is
the youngest official holding such an
important position.
Mr.. Ward is popular among the en-
ployes of the company on account of
his fairness, while at the same time
maintaining the exacting standards re-
quired in the operation Of q. great rail-
road system. He has filed the posi-
ton of general superintendent to tbs
entire satisfaction of the company.
Mr.. Ward, only six years ago, was
private secretary to President J. j. Hill.
and he has since then steadily risen to
his present position. He was private
