GENERAL CROZIER'S DUTIES.-Gen-
eral William Crozier. Ordnance Depart
ment United States Army. is now on q
tour of the West with the Secretary Of
War. inspecting various army posts. He
has been appointed as head OF the Army
War College. to succeed Brigadier Cen
eral A. L. Mills.
1t is the intention of the War Depart
ment to make an effort to have General
Srozier returned to the line OF the army,
as was done In the case of Brigadier
General Clarence r. Edwards. The latter
officer had been at the head OF the Bureau
Of Insular Affairs for several years, and
had lost his place in the line OF the army,
II having been filed by promotion. Under
the law by which General Crozier was APP
pointed to the position as Chief of the
Ordnance Department he must be reap
pointed to that Office until he reaches the
retiring age or ceases TO be an officer Of
the army. The vacancy caused by his
original appointment as a captain was
duly filled, and there Is no vacancy to
which he could be appointed In the ord
nance department. No provision was
made in the old law for the return of a.
chief OF bureau to his former place in
the department on the conclusion of his
term OF service as a chief OF bureau. He
must be reappointed or cease to be an
officer OF the army.
There is some discussion as TO the au-
thority of the War Department in as
signing General Crozier TO other duties
which will prevent his performing the
statutory requirements The new law
on the subject provides for the return
hereafter of an officer appointed under
the provisions OF the act Of February 2,
1901, to the office of chief OF bureau. He Is
to be returned to his relative position in
the army. staff corps or staff depart
ment from which he shall be appointed.
This will enable the appointing power
10 be so exercised as not to deprive an
officer of his commission In the army.
