MAY REORGANZE
STANDING ARMY
General Wood Becomes Active
Chief and Many Officers
Are Uneasy.

WASHINGTON, d. G., July 10
day with new boss on the job, for 1t
is expected that Major General Leon
ard Wood. who to-day becomes chief
of staff. will make things hum until
his own ideas are put into operation.
Although he was appointed to suc-
coed Major General j. Franklin Bell
last April. since that time he has been
on a trip to Argentine to represent
the United States at the centennial
celebration.
In the meantime many important
questions have been piling up await
ing his return. Just what effect the
personality Of the new chief of staff
will have on the army is a matter of
much moment 10 the officers, who
know something OF his strenuous ca
reer. 1t Is expected that he will I'M
dertake most actively a number of re-
forms. which might net meet with
the approval of the army at large.
Physical Tests.
One of ,the questions which will be
taken up by General Wood lis the ply
steal test OF officers Since President
many officers have been hoping that
1t would be modified.
General Wood is one OF the fore
most of physical culture enthusiasts.
Instead OF being made milder. 1t Is
not unlikely that the tests will be
made harder than ever.
The detail OF troops to the Philip
pines is another matter that viii be
disposed of by General Wood very
soon. He has also a number of ideas
regarding cooperation between the
regular army and the militia, which
he Will probably attempt to put in
practice.
General Garter. who has been acting
chief of staff, Will take his place as
assistant chief
General Bliss, whom he succeeds.
will go TO San Francisco 60 relieve

THE WESTERN RESERVE.

Anyone who has been much in the
Rockies is well aware of the fact that
1t is there regarded as highly improp-
er to ask personal questions. Each
man may vouchsafe whatever infor-
nation he pleases about himself, but
be that much or little, no questions
will be asked as to his antecedents,
plans or anything that is his. Some
times this commendable practice
works out rather curiously.
Mr.. Melville, who has lived In re-
mote parts Of the Rockies for forty
years, has a son who Is a good deal OF
a nomad, and who has led nearly every
kind of life there is to be found with
in OF without the confines Of civiliza'
ton, west of the Missouri.
One day the father received letter
from his long-absent son. announcing
an early return and intimating that
he had lately married, and would
shortly ensconce his bride beneath the
parental rooftree.
This news was not altogether pleas
ing to the home folks. for the afore
said rooftree sheltered log cabin o.
but two rooms.
In due season the prodigal arrived
alone, and was made welcome. HI
volunteered nothing as to the partner
of his joys and sorrows, and for some
days nothing was said on the sub
ject. Finally, the old mans Legitimate
curiosity got the better of the "un
written law"
Bring anybody with ye," he eau
tiously ventured.
Nope" was the reply, and there tn
conversation ended. To this day tn
fond parents have no idea what be
came OF the bride.
