MAI. Gen. Henry P. Mccain. former
adjutant general Of the Army. has
formally assumed command Of the
new 12th Division of the Army, at
Camp Devens, Aver. Mass. He Is at
work organizing and training that
division for overseas service.
AS head Of the adjutant generals

men, and made a record OF efficiency
that has never been surpassed in any
Of the bureaus of the War Depart
ment
Since the United States entered the
war the usual peace-time duties of the
office have increased enormously. New
duties were imposed in raising the
volunteer enlisted force to it's maxi
mum war strength: in selecting and
appointing officers to command both
that force and the great additional
force known as the National Army: in
selecting and appointing Army field
clerks; in guarding and caring for
prisoners of war and interned enemy
aliens: in keeping complete record
of every man in the Army both at
home and abroad, and in giving prompt
information to relatives and friends of
casualties. etc.
Extraordinary Duties.
An idea Of the magnitude of the
records kept up by the adjutant gem
erals Office is indicated by the state
mont that the present strength of the
Army. estimated at 100000 men, is
nearly 100000 more than the total
number who served during the entire
period of the civil war and is greater
than any army heretofore put into
the field by the United States.
Nearly all the paper work connected
with the practical organization and
operation of the present great mill
tary establishment devolved on the
adjutant generals office and was per-
formed with accuracy, zeal and
fidelity. Many administrative reforms
were introduced by Gen. Mccain and
proved most effective in reducing
paper work and Implications.
