operation of the church in meeting these
difficulties
As a disciple and student Of the Taft
| policy Of insIIar management. Smith
would not make the mistake of permit
ting the race problem to accentuate TIE
difficulties Of administration He has
been in the islands ever since the Amer
lean occupation, and has had eXcep-
tional opportunities for study OF condi-
tions
Before the Spanish war, he was a
young lawyer OF no standing in San
Francisco 1t is doubtful that he had
ever had case worthy the name. The
career that in less than a decade has
brought him within sight of the Mala-
canan palace and the viceregal dignity
that goes S-'th IL is most suggestive.
Smith Rose Rapidly.
He entered the volunteer army and
rose rapidly. In august, 1895. when Ma
MIA fell. he was made deputy provost
marshal of the city. Then he was a
member Of the commission which met
the agents Of Aguinald5. at the begin
ming OF the following year Later. ne
commanded the Island Of NegrOs with
success. and ultimately the department
of the Nisayas- This led easily tc The
place on the oench. from which ne was
promoted to a commissiOnership.
As commissioner. Smith has been in
charge Of the educational Systc.u. III
which such splendid advancement has
been wrought He has been so close TO
Secretary Tart that il is commonly De
lieved he would become Secretary OF
War. If the latter were to succeed 10

One of the most unique places Of wor-
ship in the District of Columbia is the
chapel of the United States Soldiers Home.
Hidden away within the bounds of govern
ment reservation, the work and worship OF
this church is something that the general
public but rarely hears of. and it's existence
is scarcely realized. The congregations that
worship there are especially interesting for
two reasons: First, they are made up al
most exclusively of men; and second, be-
cause these men are retired soldiers of the
regular army-this being the only home"
for regulars in the United States
The name might suggest that this insti-
tuition was a sort of infirmary for very aged
men, but a look into the faces of these
thousand men who reside there would re-
veal the fact that not more than half OF
them are beyond middle age. The religious
services and work at the home are looked
after by two chaplains-a general chaplain,
that is one who is appointed TO minister to
all the members of the institutions ire
spective of their religious preference or de-
nominational connections, and special
chaplain to minister to members of the
Roman Catholic Church. They are Rev.
Allen Griffith, who has been general chap
