actly where the party is at present
Judge Advocate General Crowder has
given an opinion that Gen. Hall became
the official head Of the adjutant generals
department by operation Of the laws
bearing on the subject. That opinion has
been practically accepted by the President
and the Secretary Of War Consequently
no change will be made in existing con-
ditions in the adjutant generals office
at the War Department until it is made
necessary by the retirement Of Gen. Hail.
Gen. Mccain. who has had charge Of the
Office since the retirement of Gen. Aims
worth, will continue to act as adjutant
general at least until the arrival of Col.

sued before Gen. Ainsworth was sus-
pended from office by Secretary Stimson
