6REELY ANSWERED
By CEN. GHAFFE

Los ANGELES, Aug. 35.-Ada jor Gen
eral Adna r Chafee. recently retired
chief Of staff of the United States army,
now a resident OF this city, is quoted
today in a published interview on Cen
eraI Greely's report to the War De-
.psrtment concerning the present
method Of divisions and assignment of
commands and department command
srs. growing out Of the recent disaster
a san Francisco The present system
Ehich is criticized by General Greely,
was devised by General Chaffee. The
latter says;
When I mapped out the present
scheme Of military divisions and de-
partments in 1903 it was at Secretary
Roots request, and the result met with
his approval So far as I know, this
is the first criticism Of it. The theory
as that the division of authority and
responsibility shall be the same in
peace as in war. There is not the
slightest reason why there should be
embarrassing conflict between the du-
ties Of major generals and brigadier
generals. unless one or the other Of
them has a tendency TO mix in business
that is not his own
TT might as well be urged that the
duties of a colonel and a general con-
ffct in time OF battle. because both
happen 10 be in command Of the same
territory. Under the present system,
which as I have said. is really con-
structed on a war footing. the duties
Of q division and a department COM
rnsnder are distinct and in an emer-
gency each commander would, Of
course, communicate with Washing
ton. as might be done in time Of
battle.
Il cannot say whether the Secretary
Of War viii give ear to General Gree
ly's criticisms. II had my way. they
would be discarded absolutely.

TRANSATLANTIC ANSWERS.

The Transatlantic Fire Insurance
Company of Hamburg. Germany. fled
in the United States Circuit Court yes
terday it's answers in the five suits
brought against it by the Levi Strauss
Realty Company, the Rightway Shoe
Company. RosenthaFs Incorporated.
Levi Strauss &NCo and Charles Hirsch
to recover on policies or Insurance for
fire losses on April Is. 19 and 20 Of
this year.
The answer sets forth the earth
quake clause" defense at considerable
length. 1t alleges that the buildings
were destroyed by military usurped
power, by order of the civil authority
and by explosions of dynamite caused
by persons unknown to the defendant; !;
that the buildings were not of the
values as stated in the complaints,
but of no more value than the wreck
remaining after the buildings had been
shattered by the earthquake, that the
losses arose from an overwhelming
catastrophe due to a visitation of
Providence: that the insurance policies
never contemplated an indemnity
against such visitation, and that the
earthquake was the sole. entire and
only cause of the destruction of the
property"
1t is further alleged that before
said buildings were attacked by fire
the earthquake destroyed their integ-
rity, broke the walls and other parts,
rendering them unfit to resist fire and
predisposed to succumb to the attacks
of Are and more liable to destruction
by fire than they ever had been be-
fore" Another defense set up is that
the earthquake broke the water mains,
impaired the city's facilitis for extin-
gushing fires and threw the authori-
ties and people alike into state OF
panic
Lindley & Eickhoff are the attorneys
for the insurance company.
