Rose from Ranks.
Maj. Gen. Harbord rose from the
ranks. He was a private in the
army in 1889 in the Fourth U. S.
Infantry. He was graduated from
the infantry and cavalry school in

Harbord will only be resuming the
working relations that were termi-
mated by the war-Pershing as the
organizer and director of field op-

Gen. Harbord will consequently
carry on the work heretofore done
by the chief of staff. March.
The appointment of Gems. Pershing
and Harbord also clears up a sit

been a matter of general comment.
The chief of staff, under ordinary
circumstances, is the ranking Of

really ranked March. So long as
Pershing was in Europe, March was
supreme in America But there were
many little things to indicate that
all did not move as smoothly as
might have been desired.

This was illustrated by the Sam
Brown belt incident. Pershing or
dered officers abroad to wear the
Sam Brown belt. 1t would appear
that March did not care for the belt.
At all events he ordered that the

"At present 1 am greatly in favor

Refers TO Critics of 1908.
In, Story's Constitutional Law,
reference is made to criticism
urged in 1903 against the exclu-
sive control by Congress over the
District Of Columbia as tending to
foster an oligarchy and diffuse i'm

points out. THE growth of Fed

- small degree to its separate and
dependent existence in the Dis

further Federal growth along these
lines and would add another COM
