ASK SQUARE DEAL
FOR GEN. BALDWIN
Friends Want to See Him
Made Major General on
Retired List.

Senator Burrows Of Michigan has in
trodUCed in the Senate a bill authoriz-
ing the promotion Of Brig. Gen. Frank
D. Baldwin 20 be major general on the
retired list. General Baldwin is now
retired with the rank OF brigadier gen
eral and strong movement is on for
his promotion on the ground that in
justice has been done him in not max
ing him a major general.
The DiIl OF Senator Burrows does not
specify General Baldwin by name, but
does describe an officer who may have
dlstinEu ulsned himself through the civil
war. throughout twenty-five years Of
indian wars, through the Spanish-AmeT-
lean war and the iusurrectiOn in the
Philippine Islands, and during the in
surrectlon in the Philippine Islands, in
campaigns against the Moro tribes in
the interior OF the island OF Mindanao."
Remarkable War Record.
Army circles are greatly interested in
the bill, because Of General Baldwin >
remarkable war record. He has great
numbers of friends in the service. They
contend that. as he was serving as a
brigadier general for some time before
he was retired, he should have been
given one Of the major generalships
that went to others less distinguished as
fighters than he
Baldwin's exploits constitute a bril-
liant record. He served in the civil
war from 1851 10 the end Of the war.
rising from second lieutenant 10 lieu
tenant colonel. He fought in q score OF
more Of battles, and hundreds Of skir-
mishcs with the Western armies, as
well as through Sherman's Atlanta
campaign and march 10 the sea For
great bravery at Peach Tree Creek, he
was given A medal Of nOEOr.
Fought the Indians.
After the war Baldwin went into the
regular army. and for a quarter Of a
century fought on the Western frontier
through various important Indian cam
paigns. His achievements in Indian
warfare read like TcmanCes.
For his conduct in rescuing the Ger
maine girls, he was given another medal
Of honor.
In the Philippine campaigning, Gener-
al Baldwin again won great credit. He
captured the Filipino General TTtas, who
stood second To Aguinaldo in influence.
If fighting records are to be consid-
cred, General Baldwin's hackers will
insist that a square deal" be given
him.
