perpetrated on natives in that part OF
that country. Mr.. Easements tour was
% last six months. but after the scenes

OBTAINED IN the first two months, the
consul decided that further evidence
was unnecessary The report which
Mr.. Easement is now preparing for the

horrible outrages are still being perpe-
trated under the Rubber regime and
that slavery and barbarism in their
most revolving forms still exist.

1000 miles from the coast along the
Congo and its tributaries, visiting the
Abr and Lulongo rubber zones. Pend

Washington, Dec. 7.-ssecretary Root
has made his report of the operations.
Of the war department for the last
year to President Roosevelt. Accord
ing to the report, the important mill
tary event of the year affecting ths

ton OF the system of military control
under the general staff act. This act
abolished the separate office of general
commanding the army. provided for =

who. acting under the directions of the
president or Of the secretary Of war
representing him, should have super-
vision not only of all troops Of the
line. but OF the special STAFF and supply
departments which had Heretofore res
ported directly to the SECRETARY of war:
and It created for the assistance OF the
chief Of staff a corps of forty-four of
ficers. who were relieved from all oth-s
er duties. The report says:
It will be remembered that our old
plan of army administration was that
there should be general commanding
the army in piece as we'll as In war,
responsible for efficiency. discipline,
and conduct sof the troops, but having
no control over finances, or the depart-
ment of supply and transportation
and that there should be secretary OF
war, controlling the finances and the
money-spsnding bureaus, but not
commanding the army or responsible
for the conduct Of purely military af-,
fairs; and 1t will be remembered that
the result Of attempting to work upon
that theory Of dual and separate re.
sponsibility was almost constant dis
cord ana consequent reduction Of eff
ficiency.
The new theory provides for civilian
control over the military arm. but for
civilian control to be exercised thru
a single military expert OF high rank.
who is provided with an adequate corps
of professional assistants to aid him
In the performance OF his duties. ana
who is bound to use all his professional
skill and knowledge in giving effect
to the purpose and general directions
of his civilian superior, or make way
