ARMY RED TAPE
VERY EXPENSIVE
Presidential Commission Critieises the
Extravaganza and OId-Time
Methods in Practice.

Washington, D, c., Jan. 16.-Some-
thing of a sensation was caused here
in army circles by the scathing criti-
cism of the methods of the office Of
the adjutant general of the war de-
partment. in the report of the econ
omy and efficiency commission, to
president Taft
Those methods were inaugurated by
Gen AinSWorth, former adJutant gen
eral. and gained for the office the repu-
tatiOn of a model office"
The report says that the office force
is widely scattered, and the personnel
Of the different units Of organization
so located that the work cannot be
done to advantage. As an illustration
Of defective organization, 1t IS stated
that the work of subdivisions is so ar
ranged that a constant Interchange OF
communication between these Subdl-
visions through the medium Of an elab
crate messenger service IS necessary.
The course taken by the average case
due to the bad organization and obSo-
lete methods, says the commission, ne
cessitates 40 operations in the mail and
record divisions which have to take
administrative action in the case, a
total Of 70 operations in connection
