WERE SURPRISED
Officers Of the Army GET Something
Unexpected.
THE RETIREMENT OF BRECKENRIDGE
The Enactment of the General Staff
Law and His Connection With 1t
Saved Ills Corps.

Washington. SIccial.-The following
nominations were sent to the Senate
Wednesday: Brigadier General ]. 6.
Breckenridge inspector general, to be
major general, April II, vice Major
General Hughes, Brigadier General NJ.
|. LuIington. quartermaster general,
tn major general. vice Breckenridge 10
be retired; Brigadies General James +.
Wade, 10 be major general vice Lud-
ingtOn. to be retired These nomina-
tion5 came as a genuine surprise to
army Officers except those directly con-
ccrned
There is an impression in well-in-
formed military circles that the enact
ment of the general staff law and Gen
eral Breckinridgc's connection with
that legislation were potent factors in
bringing about his retirement. General
Breckenridge would not have retired
under ordinary conditions until Janu-
AIRY, 1906. General Ludington, how
ever, is three years older than the in
spcctOr general and would have retired
Jgly I next. IL was generally supposed
that both of those staff officers would
retire in their present grade OF briga-
dier generals. In recognition OF their
long and honorable service, however,
the Secretary of War, with the apprO-
val of the President, concluded to ad-
vance them both to the grade Of ma
jor general, on the condition that they
would retire at once. This was accep-
table TO both Generals Breckenridge
and Ludngton. In advocating the crea.
tion OF the general staff, Secretary
Root insisted on the abolishment OF
the inspector generals Department OF
the army as no longer necessary, as
its duties would be performed by the
general staff. This particular feature
OF the bill drawn by the War Depart
ment, was vigorously resisted by Gen.
eral Breckenridge, with the result tha,
the inspector generals depart
ment was not disturbed by tn,
bill. as it became a law. 1t therefore
appears that while General Breckin
ridge saved his corps. he will no lon
ger have the direction Of it's affairs.
