Collision of views over the Cavalry
Cabinet" between Gov. Gen. Leonard
Wood Of the Philippine Islands and
Col. Carmi A. Thompson, personal in
vestigator for President Coolidge, is
disclosed in an article by Gen. Wood
appearing in the June number of the
Infantry Journal.
Col. Thompson recommended to the
President abolishment of the practice
Of assigning Army officers to serve
in the cabinet Of the governor general.
Gen. Wood makes no reference to
the Thompson report. He asserts,
however. that the fairly widespread
assumption" that military officers are
temperamentally unsuited for peace
time civil functions Is mot sound" nor
based on authentic historical expe-
rience," and urges that the War De.
partment continue "to contribute its
exceedingly moderate quota of Army
officers for advisory-and even execu-
tive-duties with the insular govern
ment."
Cites Own Experience.
Gen. Wood was invited to express
himself on the subject by the Infantry
Journal, which Is published by the
Infantry Association of the Army.
He said he was glad Of an opportunity
"to say a few words" because Of the
assumption that Army officers were
unsuited for civil duties.
THAT this assumption is not sound,
that it is not based on authentic his.
torical experience, I am satisfied" he
said, adding that the theory that "an
able soldier or sailor is tempera ment-
ally untitled to render intelligent, un.
biased and valuable public service in
fields of civil administration" would
not bear historical examination.
Speaking from personal experience
and intimate observation, l do not
hesitate to assert that both in Cuba
and the Philippines, officers Of the
United States Army were largely in.
strumental in laying the foundations
of civil government; and If the edi-
fees constructed on those foundations
have not measured up, to the highest
expectations, the fault certainly does
not lie with the Army" Gen. Wood
declared.
Duty OF Army.
'It has been my experience that
when assigned to civil responsibilities
Army officers have habitually adjust.
ed themselves to their new environ
ment of duty with notable facility and
have handled the affairs intrusted to
them with fidelity and ability.

transport Henderson. now at Shang-
hal, is ready to proceed to Tientsin
with 1900 Marines.

who are believed also to be destined
for Tientsin.
It is further reported that Brig.
Gen. Smedley d. Butler, comma nding
the United States Marines in China,
who has been in Peking, is proceeding
to Shanghai on a destroyer to confer
with the other foreign commanders re-
garding the situation.
Official advices state that the Ameri-
can destroyer Pigeon was fired on with
machine guns and shrapnel at Cheng-
ling yesterday. The Pigeon returned
the fire, doing some damage.
(Chenling, also known as Yochow, is
in northeastern Human Province, sit.
uated at the point where Tung Ling
Lake hassits outlet into the Yangtse
River).
Americans in the Tientsin consulate
district, embracing Peking and Chilli,
Shansi and Honan Provinces, the
Shanghai correspondent of the Daily
Express says, have been notified to be
ready to concentrate at Tientsin at
a moments notice. They number
1000, including women and children.
Anxiety over the situation is re-
ported by the correspondent to be
growing, due to the fact that the Chi
nese Nationalists are employing strong
forces of armed civilians in Chihli and
Shantung, who may any day seize
the larger northern cities.
The British, he adds, are contem-
plating sending an infantry brigade to
