THE GENERAL STAFF.

The general staff of which these
seven officers are members is a new
thing in the American army. 1t is pat
termed after the organization of the
German army, and has forty-three
members. General Young, who recent
ly succeeded General Miles, will be-
come the first chief of the general staff.
The law does not go into effect until
August 18th, but the organization has
already been completed and the mem
bers on board the Sheridan were given
an immediate detail to duty in the Phil
ippines. so that they might reach the
islands as soon as practicable after the
law becomes effective.
Just how much influence these Off
GERS of the general staff will have on
the military future of Hawaii is shown
by a slight reference to the duties of
this new board. The head of the corps
will be chief of staff to the president.
He will act as his adviser and also of
the Secretary of War and the chiefs of
bureaus in the War Department.
In time of peace the general staff will
prepare for war. 1t will arrange in
advance the mass of details having ref
erence to the transportation and mobil-
ization of armies and the establish
ment of supply depots.
The general staff will also prepare
all information desirable for a military
commander undertaking a campaign.
It's members will be assigned to serve
with commanders of troops, to furnish
preparation of plans and orders ami to
relieve them of as much labor as pos
sible, in order that the generals may be
enabled to devote their attention ex.
itary Importance.
The work of the general staff viii
also include the preparation of maps,
the drawing up of schemes fer the or
ganization and concentration of troops
and the preparation of plans for ma
tionaI defense.
This same general staff is also ex-
pected to make complete plans for war
with every foreign power, so as TO be
readily accessible at a moments notice.
Plans for equipping, provisioning and
armies in case of war are
also to be made.
This governing body will take the
place of the General Fortifications
Board and will superintend the erec-
ton and manning of coast defenses, in
which event this visit to Honolulu be-
comes of greater Importance.
