GENERAL BELLS INVESTIGATION.-AIaj
General j. F. Bell. chief of staff of the army. is
expected to resume his official duties in Washing
ton in about week He has been enjoying leave
OF several weeks at his old home in Kentucky. pre-
viouS to which he made tour of inspection OF
some of the posts in the Middle West, trying TO
find an answer to his own question: What is the
matter with the arrny?" spent considerable
time at the staff college Fort Leavenworth, of
which he was the commandant before he was de-
tailed TO duty chief of staff. General Bell IS
understood to be bringing back to Washington the
suggestion that the title of the socalled Infantry
any Cavalry School be changed to Army School CT
~ @ i.le; SINCE tne course OF lhStfuetion at thT'
postgraduate institution has to do with the work
of the infantry, cavalry and field artillery. which
practically constitutes the line at least the
mobile line. since the artillery has come
to be considered as a branch apart from the rest
OF the line. The designation of the United States
Infantry and Cavalry School has always been CUM
bersome. besides falling mention the field artil-
lery, and 1t is considered Army School of the
Line Is a more appropriate designation General
Bell will also make suggestions regarding the
mtary education in general and possibly this sub
Ject VIII be included in his annual chief of
staff. General Bell has probably found that there
Is in the army a sentiment that too much time is
gwen up to the theoretical part of military train
ing. 1t is not known however, that General Bell
shares any such view, and 1t is probable that the
suggestions he will make will be in the line OF
routine changes in curriculum. In his annual
port to Secretary Taft he expected show that
the army is in splendid condition and that what
little is the matter with It may be readily remedied
by Judcious legislation which would recognize the
increase In all prices due general prosperity.
