hero. These opportunities some
times come in even 80 humdFum a
line Of army work as that of an en-
einesT officer.
Maj. Csssius r. Gillette has been
fortunate enough to thus twice dlstin-
Euish himself and to-day he is one of
the most talked-of officers in the
army. It was he who eight years ago
discovered the frauds In government
contracts at Savannah, Ca, which led
to the conviction and imprisonment of
his predecessor in charge Of that work,
Capt. oberlin Nd. Carter. He has just
completed an investigation Of public
works In Philadelphia and has shown
that the political gang in that city
have secured nearly 100000 in graft
from two or three city contracts.
Maj Gillette knows no influence OF
any sort In the discharge of his duties.
At Savannah he was ostracised by the
society people because he dared to
charge Capt, Carter with fraud. Capt
Carter had been a social lion in that
city, But Maj. Gillette did not hesitate
&c encounter criticism and ostracisIn,
and finally landed his predecessor in
prison. In his Philadelphia investiga-
ton he was charged with working for
political effect and with so timing his
report as to make 1t Influence the city
and state elections. This charge had
no effect on the courageous army Off
Ger, and he stands to-day with the
best record of any of his associates in
the corps for efficient work in the pro,
lection of the government and in fer
reting out frauds in big contracts. He
Is comparatively young man, being
but 46 years of age, and the promi'
rence he has attained by his unearth-
ing of the biggest frauds ever known
in the army and municipal affair."

placed in charge of an officer to be
known as the military secretary of the
army. Brig. Gen. AinswOrth had been
at the head Of the record Hnd pension
ONCE and he was made military seere-
tary, which carries with 1t the rank
OF a major general.
Gen. Ainsworth has had q remarka-
BILE career. He entered the army as q
medical officer and when only holding
the rank of captain he devised a sys-
tenn of indexes for the record Of the
army by which at a moments notice
the record of every soldier could be
obtained. The work developed into
che of the greatest of its kind in the
world, and to-day there are on file
SO, 947, 939 index record cards giving
the individual service records Of all
the soldiers that ever served the
| United States, and also the record OF
nearly 100000 confederate soldiers
He was entrusted with the publication
| of the records of the rebellion,
amounting to several hundred vol
umes. The data which he has collect
ed and stored in his office is the most
valuable ever compiled by a govern
ment, and of the greatest use in deter
mining pension cases and claims
against the government.
Gen. Ainsworth's peculiar talent for
this sort of work earned him the re-
spect and admiration Of very strong
friends in congress, and he was adj
vanced in rank by congressional action
rather than by the act OF the execu.
tive branch OF the government

the charges against them. In his new
work he has taken q special interest in
the matter of assertions in the army
and he has made study of that sub
iect, SO that his opinion on it is re-
Garded as Of unusual weight and inn
portance His report this year shows
that the percentage of assertions from
the army is higher now than it has
heen for a number of years. Gen.
Ainsworth speaks out his mind, and
has no hesitancy in naming what he
believes to be the causes of men leav-
ing the army. He says:
1.-THE abolition of the canteen, the
monotony of garrison life, the increas-
ing amount of work and study de-
manded Of a soldier and the ease with
which remunerative employment can
0e obtained in civil life in these pros
porous times are all advanced as
causes Of desertion in the army. Many
remedies have been proposed, but none
seems to be worthy of very serious
consideration. Those who know how
the canteen came to be abolished are
not hopeful of its restoration; there is
no likelihood Of any such increase in
the soldiers pay as will offset the
greater inducement offered in civil pur-
suits; the comforts and even Injuries
that are furnished to enlisted men in
our service are even now criticised By
some as being not only extravagant
but injurious in their effect on men
whose real business it is to march and
fight, encountered with few comforts
and no luxuries; and the discipline
end instruction to which the soldier is
now subjected are not likely to be re-
| Taxed in the future"

The tone of the japanese press shows

In the immediate vicinity OF Japan for
warlike operations against an empire
with which France is noIninally friendly.
Newspapers Of all shades of opinion
declare, that it is wholly impossible
to reconcile a procedure with any re-
cognized principle of international law
or common justice or friendship
The paper insists that it is necessary
for Japan. as a measure of self-protec-
tfon, to notify France, that, as her con-
duct Is irreconcilible with neutral OBJ
legations. Japan is unable to continue
the recognition of the neutrality of
ports in Cochin-China and that the
whole responsibility of extending the
area of the war must rest on French
shoulders.
Evidently japanese public opinion is
