FAMOUS ARMY OFFICER REACHES
AGE LIMIT.
General Noted as Arctic Explorer and
Distinguished for Military Featc
-Reoreanized the Weather
Bureau.

Washington.-Ma Gen. Adolphus
w. Greedy the famous Arctic explor-
er for news Of whose whereabouts the
congress Of the United States once
offered a reward of $4,000, was placed
on the retired list of the army the
other day for age. Gen. Greedy is now
in the Orient on leave Of absence. His
last command was that of the depart
ment Of Dakota, with headquarters at
st. Paul, where he was recently sue
ceeded by Brig. Gen. Winfield S. Ed
gerly.
Few If any officers Of the United
States army have enjoyed such a
wide measure Of fame during recent
years as has Gen Greely. 1t is now
something more than a quarter Of a
century ago that he attracted world
wide attention by a polar expedition,
of which he was the chief This expe-
dition sailed northward in 1881 It
contained rs members, of whom only
seven came back. Two relief expedi-
tions failed to find the Greedy party,
and when finally rescued by the third
expedition, sent under command Of
Capt. Winfield s. Schley, the survivors
of the party were nearly crazed with
hunger AT the time he made this
expedition to the polar seas, Gen.
Greedy was a lieutenant in the Fifth
cavalry. The expedition reached a
point farther north than any previous
record.
Cen Greely had the distinction Of
being the first man who entered the

civil war as a private soldier to be
promoted to the rank Of brigadier
general. He was born in Newbury-
port, Mass, March q, 1874. and re-
ceived a common school education. In
1861, when but few months over II
years of age, he enlisted as a private
and became a member of the Byfeld
Rifles. Greedy continued with his COM
mand until March, 1868. When a call
was made for ncn-commissioned Off
GERS to officer the colored troops then
being organized, Sergt. Greedy was
one Of the number to respond and
was commissioned as first lieutenant
in the Eighty-frst United States col.
ored infantry He served with this
command until the fan Of 1866, rising
to the grade Of major
He entered the regular army as 4
second lieutenant In March, 1867, and
was promoted to first lieutenant in
1873. Between 1876 and 1879 young
Greely proved himself to be one of the
most untiring workers In the army.
During that period he constructed
1000 miles Of military telegraph in
Texas, Montana and Dakota. This un-
precedented feat MADE him a marked
man in American military circles.
Then came the expedition to the far
north. In 1881, in pursuance Of the
recommendation Of the Hamburg in
ternational geographical congress. he
was given command Of the United
States expedition to establish one of a
chain Of 13 circumpolar stations. The
trying experiences Of Greely and his
little band are well known to all read
ers Of history.
During and after the Spanish war
Gen. Greedy had further opportunity
to show his great ability as a builder
of telegraph lines. Under his immedi-
ate direction there we're built and op-
Grated 1000 miles In Porto Rico. $500
miles in Cuba, $50 miles in China dur
ing the Boxer outbreak and 1O.500
miles of lines and cables in the Phil
ippines. He afterwards installed a
system Of $500 miles Of telegraph
lines in Alaska, one Of these lines be-
ing the first wireless system to be put
to commercial use.
One Of Gen. Greelys most brilliant
achievements was the reorganization
on its present efficient basis of the
national weather bureau. Previous to
his incumbency the service was Of a
