doing ANYTHING which might make nee

dressed himself specifically regarding
the proposed trip of inspection to the

ed in the settlement of the controver-
ted question as TO whether Maj. Gen.
Leonard WoS-.l viii be re-detailed to
duty as chief Of staff or whether some
other officer will be assigned to that
office for service during the new adj
ministration
In case change is made. which
many officers regard as even more
than probable, il is believed the
chances are in favor OF the selection
of Maj. Gen. Thomas II. Barry, in
command of the eastern department
at Governors Island, N. Y
IL is admitted there Is possibility
of the detail of either Maj. en-. w. III.
Carter at Chicago or Of Maj. Gen. Ar

of whom have strong friends in the
present administration. They rank in
he order named. Gen. Barry's only
seniors are Gen. Wood and Gen. J. F..
Bell, the latter commanding the army
in the Philippines and a former chief
of staff
In case of the relief of Gen. Wood
from his present detail probably he
will be assigned to the command va
