Weeks the War Department loses a
true friend and the country valuable
public servant
According to the nanimous
opinion of Army officers. he is one of
the great War Secretaries of modern
times. ranking with Mr.. Elihu Root.
He is regarded rs great cabinet min
lister by all public men who know him.
In addition to his high talents. Mr..
Weeks has the advantage OF expert
ence resulting from a long and varied
public and political career.
An able executive. possessed to an
unusual degree OF that uncommon
quality. common sense. he carries with
him into private life the respect. the
admiration and the affectionate rega rd
of the whole War Department. In
spite of my own promotion, | sincerely
share the universal regret al his resig-
nation. There will he no changes in
the broad general policies governing
the department.
With the appointment of sue
Cessor TO Secretary Weeks outsof the
way and having reached conclusion
egarding the Assistant Secretary of
War, the President il now faced with
only a few important appointments
to make The most important of these
Is the filling of the vacancy on the
I iiItSi sSldtSS k~HlppiHE bOdIu caused
by the resignation of F'rede eric i.
Thompson, which becomes effective
November !.
Because of the difficulty the Presi-
dent has had with the Shipping
Board and its open defiance of his
wishes and his merchant marine poll
cy, it was thought in certain quarters
that the President might delay in
definitely the filing of this place. but
intimates of the President now are
inclined to feel that the President
will name a successor to Mr. Thomp-
son just as soon as he can hit upon
some one who would be entirely
availa BILE and otherwise qua lifted
The President natural lily feels that
this is going to be no easy task
inasmuch as he must cast about for
a Democrat hailing from the so
called Gulf section of the country
who will be not only eligible for the
commission, but who will be suita BILE
TO him personally.
The other important appointments
the President must make shortly are
confined almost entirely to the gen
eral judiciary and to United States
attorneys and marshals throughout
the country.

O'Neill seemed to the critics too
mechanically clever and unrefned in
essence, distinctly poor in quality and
Lacking in originality.
