UNCLE SAM HOPES NOW TO
HAVE WELL. GOVERNED ARMY

The United States will follow tiNr
plan pursued by the German army.
which has its plans all made for i'm
mediate action In case of war with
any nation. Full sets Of orders are
already made out for the mobiliza-
ton and transportation of troops and
for the movement of its navy. 1t has
maps of harbors, details as to de-
fensive and offensive strength of all
nations with whom the United States
might possibly have TO go to war.
The organization Of the United
States army has been an ineffectual
one. based on seniority of military
rank. The general stan entirely does
away with the seniority idea, and
instead the experts and specialists of
the stan will be. chosen because of
peculiar fitness cat least that IL the
theory to prepare orders for the
army. study national defense, pre-
pare plans for maneuvers; In short,
assume complete control OF the army.
The general stan will consist OF
one chief Of star. two generals. four
coionels. six lieutenant colonies. II
majors and 20 captains. Members
will be appointed on merit, and will
have to stand examinations and take
certain preparatory courses in the
military college. Stan positions are
not for life. and after serving fol-
awhile on the stan an officer must 70

WASHINGTON. July 1s.-Military
authorities regard tho general STAR
plan of organization of the United
States army. authorised by congress
last winter. as the most important
thing that has happened to the army
for half century.
The general stan will take control
August Is. when General Miles will
be retired and the ONCE OF general
commanding" be abolished. From
that time the army will be commarN-
cd by the president and secretary Of
war. assisted by . staff OF ~ off,
GERS. with General 8. NJ. d. Young as
chief of star.
The general star will be to the
army what the general manager and
heads Of departments are to large
business establishment---each sub
chief an expert In HIS line. and all
responsible to one executive head.
While the main business of an
army Is fighting. yet effective organi-
xation Is necessary for an effective
fighting machine. This applies not
only to the fighting organization. but
to it's Industrial side. as the army
conducts a large amount OF business.
1t has not only the feeding and equip
ping Of its mon. but must. among
other things. conduct manufactures.
work out patents. lay out roads. con-
struct buildlngs.
It In also necessary for the prob
lens of war to be studied In time of
peace. in order to avoid such con-
fusion as existed IN the American
army at the time of the Spanish war.

the cross had fallen on Cardinal Pecci.
January II, 1878, Victor Emmanuel died
in the Quirinal palace-eight days after
Plus followed him, whom he had deemed
the prosecutor and spoliator of the church
When the wires flashed over the world the
news of Plus DEATH Protestants believed
that the papacy which was claimed to have
come down from Peter was at en- end. The
questions arose, will the government not
take possession of the vatican and st. Pc
ter's? VIII they, can they, allow the cardi-
mails to assemble freely in concave and elect
a successor to Plus IN? Will not the gov
ernment raise the flag of Savoy and secure
spiritual head of its own selection who will
be amenable to the house of Savoy? Such
might have been the case had Victor EN-
manuel lived, or had the papacy had at its
head a man of less diplomatic skill, less tact
than Cardinal Pecci. He carefully avoided
everything that could give offence. but was
determined there should be no DELAY that
he could prevent in assembling the conclaye.
which should be ten days after the death
of pope, At that time the papal tiara was

Out of siXty-four cardinals three were alb.

cessor of Plus TX. The Camerlengo pre-
pared for a long session. The doors were
closed. None might enter, none pass out.
But two ballots could be cast in one day
morning and evening, Two-thirds majority
was necessary to an election. If no choice
were made, little smoke emitted from the
burned ballots told the fact to the outside
waiting people. The first balloting gave
% votes to Cardinal Pecci-he was seen to
be greatly disturbed-his face expressed
dismay and grief. At the second ballotinq
the name of Pecci was called 3S times

Before his return to Rome he visited Lon
don and Paris, aid was received by Victoria,
Prince Albert and Louis Philippe, to whom
he had been warmly recommended by Leo
pold.
Death had claimed the bishop of Perugia.
The hearts of the people and the clergy
turned to him, who had endeared himself
to them in his brief sojourn as governor.
The pope acceded to their wishes, but in
tended first to bestow the red hat. When
the nuncio reached Rome Gregory lay dy
ing.
His successor, Plus IX., confirmed the APP
pontment. For 80 years Leo filled
this pastoral mission. Plus was not unmind-
ful of Gregory's design for his promotion,
but political troubles which crowded all the
years OF Plus pontiicate, delayed for six
years the insignia of the red hat.
In 1877 was celebrated the golden jubilee
OF Plus IN. His strength was failing and he
know his end was near. Death had just
taken his oldest friend and paved the way
for new Camerlengo. Plus appointed
Cardinal Pecci. 1t was position involving,
during the vacancy of the papal chair, the
supreme authority to administer the tenn

pope of him. Let Joachim be pope and
Joseph cardinal and you can be tranquil as
to the future of our boys" On the last day
OF the year 1887, l3 years after the death OF
his much-loved mother, he was ordained to
the priesthood.
Gregory XVI. appointed him governor of
Benevento-a most difficult position. lie
was not only obliged to cope with political
conspirators but also with well-organized
bands of desperate men, given over to brig
andage and smuggling-a position in which
older and more experienced men had been
baffied and retired. Three days after reach
ing his post he was stricken with typhoid
fever. The best medical skill was summoned
from Naples and pronounced the case hope
less The frail body, weakened with ascetic
fervor, triumphed over disease and death,
In his convalescent state, he began his bat
tie, bearing harder on the rich than on the
poor Soon the Beneventini saw with joy
aud surprise the most dreaded chief with
his band led in chains to prison. Conspira-
tors found it unsafe to hatch plots where
Gov. Pecci ruled and sought an asylum
elsewhere. In three years the reign of law,
with order and peace, was established
that Pope Gregory recalled him to fill a
more important post
IerugId was thS seat VI popular ulsCoh-
tent; thither Gregory sent the successful
young diplomat Again he was successful,
so successful that there came time when
the prisons of Perugia did not hold a single
criminal.
There were educational disputes in Bel,
GUM; indeed all the affairs of the church
were disordered Gregory again turned to
Mgr Pecci to smooth diificfliulties and bring
order out of chaos He went as nuncio to
Brussels-a post he filed with credit to him
self, the church, the Belgian court and peo-
Pile 1t was King Leopold's verdict that he
was as clever a politician as he was an
excellent churchman.
