ARMY AND NAVY NOTES
Lieutenant Colonel Thompson
To Be Ordnance Chief.
[From The Tribune Bureau
Washington. February


CROZIER'S STATUS IN DOUBT
Speculation Is keen concerning the va
cancy shortly to occur In the once Vi
chief OF ordnance of the army. Inc
present incumbent is General William a.
CroZier. appointed in 1901. Lieutenant
Colonel John NJ Thompson Is expected
to be the new chief. General Crozier mas
been detailed as president or the Army
College and Colonel Rogers Brine is act
ing chief OF ordnance.
IL has been supposed that General
CroZier would be transferred to the list
of general officers with the rank of briga-
der general. which is his present rank
The advantage OF such transfer would be
that he might take position in teiation
TO other brigadiers in accordance with
the date OF his appointment as chief OF
ordnance. If this were done he 'Would
not 20 To- the bottom. OF the list OF
brigadiers, as in the case of a new APP
pontee, but would stand next to the
senior officer. This would make him inn
mediately junior to General Frederick
Funston and Immediately senior to Gen
eral Tasker II. Bliss.
FNlutHUN III IDS DctH TtdIHtu ludl TINS
would lead TO opposition in the Senate,
and certainly would meet with the criu-
cism Of army officers generally. BY this
position on the list of brigadiers General
Crozier would stand so much the better
chance OF becoming a major general. espe-
clally on the assumption that General
Funston is again to be jumped, as he has
hppp bV 50 nfficorG NJ ha bppn
made major generals since his appoint
ment to the grade in 1901.
Furthermore. the War Department ap-
pears to have committed itself to a prece-
dent in the appointment of BriGadier Clar-
ence r. Edwards. likewise transferred
from the staff while chief of the insular
bureau, TO the list Of general officers with
out change Of rank. General Edwards
went to the bottom of the list. instead OF
taking the place in accordance with the
date Of his appointment as a bureau chief
with the rank of brigadler general.
II is understood that General Crozier
sees no advantage In becoming the junior
general officer. and that he contemplates
seeking retirement. He intimated his per-
manent separation from the ordnance de-
partment in the last years annual report,
when he reviewed his administration as
chief or ordnance. In any event. whether
he Is made a general officer or is pre-
maturely retired on his own application,
he is destined 10 be succeeded by Lieu
tenant Colonel John 7. Thompson. of the
ordnance department. who is considered
one OF the best equipped officers Of the
corps. There will. of course. bc some com
plant among the colonies of the depart
ment who are jumped by lieutenant
colonel. hut there Is no expectation OF ma
terial opposition to his appointment.

we do not indulge in the evil things

good Indian is as good as any one,

them also, and they have souls just

myself on that subject.
There are five white families liv-

BABIES WANTED

That the demand for babies in Ho-
nolulu is greater than the supply is
the report of a committee composed
OF several ladies who have undertaken
10 look up homes for young children
who have either been orphaned ~or
who have appeared before the jlye-
nile court. There are now more than
a dozen homes on the waiting list
looking for a chance I oadopt a
healthy boy or girl. but at present
children, for adoption purposes, are
scarce. .:.
The investigating committee was
appointed some months ago at the re-
quest Of the Juvenile court, to work
in conjunction with that court and
various charitable institutions
throughout the city.
The members of the committee took
il upon themselves to investigate the
claims of those who wished to adopt
babies, and also to see that the child
ren were disposed of by the authori-
ties and placed in good hands.
The pitiful tales of treatment at the
hands of drunken parents which are
told from time to time before the
court of Judge Whitney have aroused
to action these ladies who have gen
erously offered their services, and al
ready a number of children have been
placed in local homes.
