her scarcely three months, but as it was
his last term at college, he felt that he
needed to take away with him into the

that afforded by his diploma. Moreover,
she had been very. very kind to him, and

During President Grants administra-

Fred Grant, son of the great war com
mander, to be Corbin's successor in com
mand Of the department Of the Atlantic
| and Maj Gen. Fred Funston, whose me-
| teoric career in the army since the war
| with Spain has made a unique chapter
| In the armys history to take command
| of the department of the west.
| The assignment of Gen. Corbin to the
Philippines is significant Of future
| honors in store for him. President
Roosevelt with that devotion to civil
| service principles that has marked all
his public career, believes that in the
army men should be fitted by experience
for positions to which they may be pro-
NOTED. He believes that the lieutenant
general Of the army and chief Of stan
should be an officer who has had prac-
Sical experience in every department Of
the service. For this reason he consid-
ers it essential that this officer. who is
virtually head of the army, although
nomlnally the president and secretary
Of war are superior to him. should be
thoroughly acquainted with conditions
In the Philippines. It is appreciated
that the most important army problems
are involved In that archipelago, and to
have q proper conception of conditions
there the ranking officer of the army
ought to have had actual experience in
army administration in the Philippines.
With this end in view, President
Roosevelt has asked Gen. Corbin to take
command in the Philippines The as
signment is somewhat of surprise to
those who unWarranted1y supposed that
the president would promote Brig.
Gen. Leonard Wood to military com
mand Of those islands. President Roose-
welt is Gen. Woods friend but not to the
extent Of partiality His assignment Of
Gen. Corbin to the Philippines is proof
pr this. as it is no secret that the friend
fest feeling does not exist between Cor
bin and Wood. When Gen. Corbin has
served year or SO IN the Philippines he
