military VIII Hemain IN Charge OF
Relief Work In Frisco.
Washington, May 26.-Secretary
Taft has instructed Major General
Greedy, in command Of the Pacific
division. to make arrangements to re-
tain the military forces in charge Of
relief work In San Francisco until
July 1, IL such action be necessary
General Greely advised the war de.
partment about week ago that he
expected to withdraw all troops and
turn the relief work over entirely to
civilians on June 1, but appeals from
California senators and representa-
tives In congress caused the war de.
partpient to order q retention of the
military forces in the stricken city
longer In case the situation demanded
It.
As $4,000 persons were fed Thurs
day, and the number of refugees still
in need of assistance does not de-
crease as rapidly as was hoped for,
ther elief work seems to the war de-
partment to be greater task than
should be unloaded upon a civilian or.
ganization, until 1t Is known to be
capable of meeting the emergency.
