n ECENT orders for the dispatch

ing of troops to Cuba have called public attention again to
 Brigadier General J. Franklin Bell, chief of staff of the United States army, who also has been ordered to Cuba himself. Most of the newspapers have stated that these orders for the movement of troops were issued by General Bell. The truth Is that they were issued through General Bell. There is quite difference. The dis tinction between "by" and through" as used in this connection indicates the difference between what General Bells position as chief of staff really is and what the public has come to believe 1t Is.
 Doubtless at some time since last April. when General Bell was detailed mark the word-as chief of staff, you have read that this estimable officer is "the head of the army" But he isn't. No doubt also you have read that he Is really In command of the army" But he isn't.
 But" you may say, General Bell is the officer of highest authority in the army. and now we have you. Aha!'
 Again, he isn't.
 The chief of staff is not matter of rank. President Roosevelt did not raise General Bells rank in the least when he detailed him as chief of staff. He was the senior brigadier then. and he still Is. Half dozen major gener-

of war operations he must be the right man in the right place. President Roosevelt appears to have taken this view last spring, when. kicking aside precedents as one kicks aside a worn out shoe, he determined to assign as his chief of staff man still young enough 10 work like a thoroughbred and one whose retirement by age limit was still so far off that in all reasonable probability he would remain in the position long enough to get used to Its duties and carry out some definite ideas. Three or four of our preceding chiefs of staffs have been in turn the lieutenant general who was just about to retire on account of having reached the age limit of active service. MT. Roosevelt simply concluded to quit compllmenting his veteran heads of the army" by giving them few months hard work as chief of stan be- fore retirement. He glanced about, and his eye fell upon Frank Bell, as the army people used to call him. For several years the president had been sitting up and taking notice of Bell. Here apparently was man after his own heart-a strenuous sort of indi- vidual who could swim swamp with knife between his teeth and go after the enemy without stopping to dress.
 General Bell is just that sort of chap That is how he happens to be chief of staff. Back in 1897 first lieutenant in the Seventh cavalry, all ready forty-one years of age and with

 An Assignment.
 The position of chief of stan is not an appointment nor promotion, strict ly speaking. It is an assignment. The president of the United States details an officer to fill the place. The law gives the president that privilege. and he may select any officer of the briga- dier grade or above. The chief of stan. contrary to popular belief. does not hold his position until he drops out of it by dropping out of the army at the compulsory retirement age of sixty four. The law distinctly requires that the chief of stan must tender his res ignation when new president comes Into office. The new president may accept or decline the resignation. as he chooses. This provision is made be cause 1t is desired that the president have at his hand. In close touch. mili- tsry adviser in sympathy with his ad- mlnistrative ideas.
 The chief of stan. then. Is military adviser to the president and the secre- tary of war. and he Is the vehicle that carries or the channel through which flows the general and specific orders to the American army. Three men not in the army. but of it. are always above hIm-president. secretary Of war and assistant secretary of war. He take> the orders of these three men and transmits them to. the army.
