The War Department has made pub
lie letter from General Wood, dated
July %, 1903. in which he asks that
the charges made against him by
Major Runcie, in which he NFeuuests
that the matter be referred to the in
spector general of the army for s,fek>
action as may be required under thel
circumstances, or to any other au-
thority which the War Department
may deem proper. He further says:
Il enclose herewith statement of
the facts in the case, together with
true copies of letters, extracts from
letters, etc, bearing on the subject
The statement enclosed gives the ad-
dresses of most. of the persons who
have more or less knowledge of the
affair 1t will be noted that many of
the letters are confidential in charac1
ter, the originals of which are in Tt
confidential official files of the secre-
tary of war"
So many, perplexing and important
have become the cases arising in the
State Department involving the deter
mination of citizenship, that Assistant
Solicitor Frederick Van Dine has com
cisions of state and national courts and
of the department itself bearing on the
matter. The volume is to be placed in
the hands of United States consuls. i'm
migration inspectors and other United
States officials who are called upon y
pass upon questions of citizenship. Il
publication of the work is deemed
sential because of the fact that this 81
ject has increased in importance in
United States with the development
the nation as world power The gre
extension of commerce which b
marked the past decade and the rece
additions to our territory have ma
inevitable broader compact with tn
nations of the world and have compl
Gated the relations with the goverI
ments and citizens of other countrie
In both houses of Congress tn
seems to be strong sentiment ind
vor of continuing the enlargemeLtS

doubt that a conflict of no mean
mensions will arise between the
porters of navy appropriations
