GENERAL STAFF PLANS
RADICAL CHANGES PROPOSED IN
THE ARMY AND NAVY.
Chiefs of Staf of Both Military De-
Details of the Schemes.

WASHINGTON. June IA committee OF
twelve of the general stan. OF which Gen.
Tasker Bliss is chairman. has nearly COM
pleted a draft of regulations for the gov
eminent of the general stan. The reguia-
tions to carry the general stan act into ef-
feet will make radical changes in the army.
The chief OF staff will be an all-powerful
person. uniting in himself all the theoretical
authority exercised by the commanding gene
eral under the present law, and the power
heretofore unofficially invested in the adj
jutant general. AS drafted. the new regula-
tions leave little or nothing of the adjutant
generals department and less OF the in
spector 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 stan
will direct the issue of the orders. he Will
be the intermediate between 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 OF staff will have the supervi-
sion of the troops of the line will direct
military operations, and in general will be
the most powerful officer that ever held a
position In the army I'm times of peace. or
course, at all times. he will be subject TO

tary of war. Not only the purely military
matters, supposed TO be vested In the COM
handing general, are given TO the new star.

equipments also are under his direction.
