Washington. Jan. 2O--Consternation prevailed to-
day among members Of the General StaH OF the
army when 1t became known at the War Depart
rnent that the army appropriation bill. reported
from the House Military Committee, contained a
clause which bids fair seriously cripple the Gen
eral staff
BY virtue Of the provision the law estsb-
fishing General Staff enacted in 1898. is changed
that the General Staff will lose. IL the recon-
mendstions Of the Military Committee prevail. one
general officer Of the four serving on the staff
six of the twelve majors and all Of the nineteen
captains This reduces the staff in personnel TO
three general officers OF whom is the chief Of
STAFF: four colonels six leutenant-colonels and six
ma jOrs
There has been or less criticism in Congress
concerning the General staff and much criticism
has been directed against that corps by those who
have refused believe its functions be i'm
portant its friends believe. A large part of the
work now performed by the General STAFF must go
undons II one half the majors and all the cap
iains-twenty five in tie aggregate-are detached
from duty with the corps. II is understood that the
House Military Committee believes that too many
officers have been assigned 70 detached duty. some
forty additional absentees having been added to the
list in the last six months bringing the total up
10 734. The War Department will probably be heard
proposed by the Military Committee.
