BLISS MADE CHIEF
OF STAFF OF ARMY
BAKER REFUSES TO CON-
FIRM REPORT.
Scott to Be Assigned to Duty
in Connection With Train
ing of Troops.

Washington, Sept. 21.-Major
Gen. Tasker H. Bliss today was
named chief of staff of the army, to
succeed Major Gen. Hugh l.. Scott.
who retires from office tomorrow.
Gen. Scott. who is sixty-four years
old, has reached the age of retire
ment, but he Immediately will be re-
called to active service. Secretary
Baker said for the present the gen
eral would be assigned to duty in
connection with the training of
troops in the United States.
To Retire December 21.
Gen. Bliss has been acting chief of
staff since Gen. Scott left for Rus
sia several months ago as a member
of the American mission. He also
viii reach the age of retirement on
December p, next, but there were
intimatiOns today that he would re-
main as chief Of staff for at least
these three months. When the
American forces begin to reach
France in large numbers. however,
the strain on the chief of staff will
become so great that a younger Off
Ger may be called upon to bear the
burdens of the Office.
When asked today concerning re-
ports that Major Gen. Kuhn, com
manding the national army canton
ment at Annapolis Junction. Nd.
would succeed Gen. Bliss, Secretary
Baker said that the question was not
under consideration,
May Take the Field.
Gen. Scott's assignment to duty
In connection with training of
troops. it is believed, will be follow
ed later by the appointment to a
field command, possibly division at
the front.
Gen. Scott, who is native of Ken
lucky and who graduated from West
Point in 1872, has had an unusual
career. Much Of his active service
has been spent in the Indian coun-
try, but he also won fame in the
Philippine insurrection and several
times he has achieved remarkable
results as a peacemaker. In 1915
he entered an agreement with the
battling factions in Mexico. which
protected the American border town
of Nogales from the fall of shells
and bullets.
The appointment of Gen. Bliss to
read the staff does not forecast any
change in that body or it's opera
tions so far as known.
Student of Military History.
The new chief has been q deem
student of military history. He was
appointed to West Point from Penn
sylvania, graduating in 1871 and
was an honor graduate of the artiI-
cry school in the class of 1884. His
first assignment to the general staff
was in 1903.
while the appointment of Gen.
Bliss as chief of staff comes as a
climax to his military career under
ordinary circumstances. there is lit
tie possibility that he will retire
from active service when he reaches
the age limit in December. Like
Gen. Scott, ii is almost certain that
If he is succeeded by younger man
as chief OF staff, he will go to an
active field command.
