previously been recommended for the Medal of Honor for distinguished service against the Spaniards. Re- turning to the United States he com Ipleted his studies at the Utah Agri- cultural College, which has since conferred on him the honorary de- gree of IL. D., and in 1901 was commissioned Second Lieutenant of Artillery in the regular army. At the beginning of the war he was a Captain in the Coast Artillery Corps. He had specialized in the study of coast artillery material and fortifi- cations and had written a book on this subject that is still regarded as a standard work in the army. At the time the United States en- tered the war Gen. Hines was in Athens, having gone abroad while on furlough to study Notifications in Southern Europe. Instructions reached him at Rome to take charGc of the authorization of American citi- zens to this country. This duty com pleted, he returned to Washington for assignment.
 After holding several posts for which his special training fitted him, Gen. Hines was placed in the Elm barkation Service and in January 1918, he was made chief of that ser vice. He was promoted rapidly thru various temporary ranks to that of Brigadier- General, and few weeks ago, in recognition of his services, was confirmed permanently in that rank by Congress on the recommen' dation of the Secretary of War.
 Supervised Troop Shipments.
 Gen. Hines work in supervising the shipment of troops overseas has been characterizen by Secretary Ba- ker as emitting him "to a place in history and to the gratitude of the country" After the armistice, Gen. Hines had charge of the homeward movement of troops, as the head of an organization for bringing the sol diers not only to the seaboard, but clear to his own fireside. His sue cess in effecting the speedy rehabili- tation of the troops has been highly commended.
 On April 9, 1919, War Depart ment order consolidated the water, rail and animal-drawn transporta- tion of the army and put Gen. Hines at the head of that service. This is the position he now holds.
 Gen. Hines has been awarded both the army and the navy distinguished service medals, the British Order of the Bath, the Belgian Order de Leo pold, the Japanese Order of the Sacred Treasure, and the Czecho- Slovak War Cross. France has made him an officer of theN Legion of Honor.
 Numerous official commentators of Gen. Hines services have been placed on his record. Secretary Of the Navy Daniels wrote that "by his splendid cooperation, clear-sighted- ness and valuable suggestions" he had rendered inestimable service to the navy, and Secretary of War Ba-- ker testified before a congressional committee that his work as chief ot the transportation section was "a work of conspicuous brilliancy, prob ably as brilliant as that of any off cer in the army"
