Washington, Dec. 7.-Secretary Root
devotes a large portion OF his annual
report Of the operations of the war de-
partment to the organization and work
OF the general staff. He quotes the
statute and regulations by which the
general STAFF Is authorized, and con-
tinues:
1T will be perceived that We are here
providing for civilian control over the
military arm, but for civilian control to
be exercised through a single military
expert Of high rank, who is provided with
an adequate corps of professional as
sistants to aid him in the performance
Of his duties. In this way 1t is hoped that
the problem Of reconciling civilian con-
troll with military efficiency with which
we have been struggling for so many
years will be solved"
