SHAKE-UP or AIDES-DE-CAMP.
Many Officers Serving as Such I'm Violation
or Army Regulations

WASHINGTON, July 10.-Secretary Root
has discovered that a number of officers
of the army serving as aides-de-camp TO
general officers are doing 30 in violation
of the army regulations and the latest army
law. Thelaw provides that an officer shall
be appointed aide to general officer only
after he shall have actually served with
troops for at least five years Immediately
preceding such appointment, and that he
shall hold such appointment for no longer
period than four years.
Another section Of the regulations says
that an officer is not to be detached from
his regiment or corps until he has served
at least three years Herewith, and when
an officer shall have been so detached for
a period of four years, he shall apply for
orders to be relieved.
When Secretary Roots attention was
called to these provisions several days ago,
he ordered an investigation of the personal
stats Of general officers to determine what
officers had been serving as aide s-de-camp
beyond the period named and had not COM
piled with the regulation by applying for
orders to be relieved. In consequence Of
the present investigation 1t ia said at the
War Department that a shake-up among
the officers serving as aides-de-camp will
shortly take place.
Yesterday orders were issued relieving
Capt. Jens Bugge of the Twenty-eighth
Infantry, who for some time has been serv-
ing on the staff Of Major General George
W. Davis in Manila, and it is known that
other changes are in contemplation.

nv. Jczreel's New Religion.

We find from our voluminous CORE
spondence on religious subjects that
simultaneously there is coming up no.
ton in many minds that this century is
to be distinguished by the rise of new
religion for mankind. Accordingly, we
have perused with curious interest
plan of new religion which has been
submitted to us from London, where it
has its headquarters 1t calls itself
The New and Latter House of Israel, I"
and in this authoritative statement we
are told that it is now making bid for
attention in many countries and has
agents in many lands"
The New and Latter House OF Israel :"
proposes to bring together Jews and gen.
tiles in religious communion. 1t directs
its efforts especially to those who are
the lineal descendants OF the children of
Israel, scattered among the gentiles, I"
but not necessarily Jews, for it argues
that while :" all Jews are Israeltes, all the
Israelitcs arc not Jews" The Jews of
the world, it proceeds, are mainly de-
scendants OF the two tribes OF Judah
and Benjamin, with few Ievites scat
tered among them, but the other ten
tribes, the House Of Israel, have been
squandered among the gentiles."
The scheme Of the new religion In
vented in London is to gather together
all the Israelites." Former Israel, :"
says the programme submitted to us
with compliments of The New and
Latter House of Israel -" did not OBJ
tain the promises; but the glory Of the
Latter House, the new visitation to
Israel, shall be greater than that OF the
former" Jews are TO be welcome
on the condition that still adhering
to their faith in the laws of COP and the
writings Of the Prophets, they are will
ing to add the Gospel Of CHRIST thereto
and fulfil the Scriptures.
This new religion, it seems, has n
prophet. His name is J. j. JEzREEL, to
whom a special revelation was given"
" to give a clear Interpretation OF the
prophecies relating to the restoration OF
Israel" We never heard of Mr.. JEzREKL
before, but according to the document

The corps OF railroad ticket agents at
Ellis Island whose chief business 1t Is to be

The Second Trial OF the Sylph

The summer naval manpuvres in the
waters of Long Island Sound began a
week ago to-day with the speed trial
of the Sylph, conducted in the presence
Of the Commander-in-Ch himself and
with special reference to his official in
formation The result was not satis-
factory. The Government vessel was
badly beaten by the private steam yacht
of a New York hotelkeeper.
Night before last the Syph was sub
jected to another interesting test, under
the same energetic direction. This time
the experiment concerned what may be
termed the evasive qualities of the vessel.
The problem was to run her out of Oyster
Bay through the ships Of an imaginary
blockading squadron without attracting
the attention of the enemy or drawing
hostile fire from any quarter. This was
successfully accomplished at or soon
after nine o'clock, although there was
bright moonlight at the time.
That was not all. The Sylph further
proved her capabilities in this important
department Of naval usefulness by pro-
ceeding through He'll Gate, circum-
navigating Manhattan Island without
detection by any policeman or any Of
the countless citizens kept awake by the
exceptional temperature, and then actu-
ally penetrating the Hudson past the
guns of West Point and many miles
beyond them!
The results Of the second trial of the
Sylph more than compensated for the
disappointment of last Saturday. The
remarkable achievement of night before
last and yesterday is sure to be studied
with intense interest by naval experts
here and abroad. 1t must have been a
source of official qualification to the
President, who sacrificed the comforts of
his own bed at Sycamore Hill in order
to accompany the Sylph on her night
expedition and to watch her performance
and coal consumption with his own in
teligent eyes.
BY such close personal attention to
nautical details the German Emperor
has made himself one of the foremost
of living authorities on naval matters
