herself up.

jor General Fred C. Ainsworth, ad-
jutant general of the army, was
stripped of his Office yesterday by
order of President Taft and will ap-
pear before a court martial on
charges said to embrace conduct
prejudicial to good order and disci-
pline and characterization.
His relief from duty was brought
about in a letter to him from the
Secretary of War, which bristled
with sharp criticism.
General Ainsworth's removal Is
considered to be the outcome OF
many years of struggle for control
between the line and the staff of
the army. Major General Leonard
Wood, chief of staff, leads a contin-
gent which believes control should
be delegated to those officers actu-
ally in touch with the fighting
strength. Others, among whom
General Ainsworth was a leading
figure, had contended that super
vision should be vested with the
heads of powerful bureaus.
The suspension Of General Aims
worth, the first that ever has occur
red in the Office of adjutant general,
caused profound sensation in army
and congressional circles. It was
made the subject of a heated ex-
change on the floor of the house.
where the army appropriation bill
was being debated. Neither Cen
era1 Ainsworth nor other army or
department officers or officials would
discuss it.
The action Of the president was
taken after several conferences
with Secretary Stimson. For some
time there has been friction be-
tween the adjutant generals office
and that of the chief of stan.
Clashes were not uncommon and
there was almost a total lack OF CO.
operation. The bad feeling culmin-
mated when General Ainsworth, in
reply to Secretary stimson's request
for some statistical information,
made such answer that the secretary
felt constrained to accept 1t as q
reflection upon his own integrity
and upon that of other high officers
of the department.
i Secretary Stimson's letter of sus-
pension, which was delivered to
| General Ainsworth yesterday morn
ing, took up incidents as far back
as October, 1909, in which the sec
rotary held the adjutant general
had been unduly caustic in dealing
with his superiors and in Critics
ing them. Beginning with last De-
cember, the secretary refers to his
orders to the adjutant general tc
submit to the chief of staff Of the
army his opinion on a proposal tc
abolish the present muster roll and
to modify certain other rolls.
"In reply to this order" says the
secretary. you submitted to the
chief of staff on Feb. 9, memoran'
dunn dated Feb. 8. In this paper
you impugn the fairness and intel
ligence OF the Secretary Of War. un

The glass-set door opened with un.

"I'll see Mr.. Bailey" declared some
one. He'll know"
Helpless, Emily stood still, and
straightway found herself looking di-
rectly into Lestrange's gray eyes as
he halted on the threshold.
1t was Bailey who upheld the mo-
mcnt, all unconsciously.
