New Army Law.

washington, June 13.-A committee of
y OF the general staff of which General
1dsKer hiss is chairman has nearly
completed draft of regulations for
the government of the staff The
regulations carry the general staff act

flcer that ever held position in the
army in time of peace. OF course at all
times he will be subject to the orders of
the president and secretary Of war Not
only the purely military matters sup
posed to be vested in the commanding
general are given to the new staff in
the new regulations but the supplies
and equipments also are under his d.
rection.
The new regulations make the general
staff officers on duty in Washington
boards to consider all matters requiring
investigation and report including in
spectiOns. The general staff will rec
ommend officers for detail and promo
ton and the enlistment and recitement
of soldiers also win be taken from the
adjutant generals department and
given to the general staff. An import
ant feature not yet wholly determined
relates to officers detailed from the
general staff to the various army de-
partments. The regulations as prepar-
ed provide that the officers so detailed
either to a department or with a divis-
ion or brigade in the field, snail become
the chief of staff of the commanding
officer of the department or division OF
troops operating in the field. without
regard to the rank of any other staff
officer in the command.
The committee hopes to submit a
draft to General. Young today in order
that he may send it to the secretary
of war before he leaves the city.
General Young will make tour of
the great lakes next week, leaving here
on Saturday.
