WASHINGTON. Aug. 11 Lieutenant
General Mile, commanding the nrmy, Inn
Issued n goucial order Intended to Improvo
the conditions of tho nrmy, It admonlsh-is
officers nnd men r-gnrdlng their duties and
points nut tho essentials of n Rood soldier,
mentioning patriotism, discipline, physical
development, self-respect, self-reliance nnd
resourcefulness, also adding that profes
clonal knowledge Is nci-cisary nt nil times.
Tho general snys that on account of law
iiccesslonrf of officers nnd soldiers who hve
had hut llmltod experience In the mlllvnry
service the Instructions contained In tho or
der ure Issued for their guidance bb well as
for others. Ho says that to bo effective in
time of war modern military training must
ho uniform nnd conform to certain bislc
principles. Tho following nro extracts from
tho orders:
"Of these principles patriotism Is of the
first and paramount Importance. An
absolute und unqualified devotion to the
welfare of their country of nil In tho mili
tary service Is an Indtspensnblc prerequisite
that constitute tho soul of an efllclcnt
nrmy. It Is essentia! that the army uhu't
fully understand the charactor of our
government, shall realize tho hcneflts nnd
prerogatives granted by our constitution
nnd shall be familiar with tho brilliant
achievements of our arms us recorded In
our past military history.

"Tho sreond principle, discipline, dis
tinguishes thoroughly trained and In
structed troops from an Irresponsible, un
wieldy nnd disorderly aggregation of men.
llespcct for und obedleuce to supcilor au
thority nro Its essential characteristics, lib
vital Importance must by thoroughly im
prctsod upon nil In the military service.
Officers will nlways bo exemplary In do
liorlmcnt, will exorclso Justlco and Im
partiality, and will be consldcrnto In their
conduct toward nil subordinates, unotriui
earnest nnd loyal obedience will he
promptly paid by nil subordinates to lawful
orders of superiors. No order will bo Is-uul
without tho provision for or power of

"ltecent rouorUMndteatp 'tho. oxlstcnco of
taarked unsoldlcrly deportmont on thdpnrt
of soma of the trqops, 4n condition tp
parehtly cultivated recently under tho mis
takotiildea that a certain uncouthncsi of ex
torlor nnd laxity of manners are the esscn
tlnl characteristics' of n Boldler. Aa they
arc most subvoralvo of discipline and
efficiency, offenses of this nature must
neither bu Ignored nor condoned.
"CommnndliiK officers nro nccountnblo for
tho general nuptnranco of their troops un
der all clrcumatances. whether they be In
garrison, in camp, on tho march, off duty
or on brief furlough.
"Soldiers nro ns much responsible for
their conduct whllo off the military rceor-
vatlons or out of camp as when In garrison
"Tho exchango enntcen, recreation or

called, will bo made- as nttrnctlvc ns pos
Hlblo nnd the recent law concerning It will
be faithfully nnd loyally observed.
Cuiuifi-iilliK Phynlcnl Ipeloiinpnt.
"The third principle to bo observed Is
tho hlghost posslblo physical development
that will render tho soldier capable of the
greatest endurance on tho mnrch nnd on
tho field of battle. To this end nthlotlc
Karnes nro superior to proscribed gym
nastics that require special nppnratun and
rnurehes of Increasing length nt 'attention'
to thoso at route step with phambllng gait

"The fourth principle of Importnnco com
prises elf-respect, self-rollnnce nnd 're
sourcefulness. Thcso qualities make up a
man's Individuality and are In a large
measure Inherent In the Amerlcnn soldiers.
"The fifth prlnciplo Is that ' of profes

carefully and timely prepared for solution
during Important drills nnd maneuvers.
Troops will ho frequently occupied In ox
tended Iltid exercises, such ns scouting,
rcconnoltrrlng nnd map-mnklng and other
prnotlral held work. The officers and men
will bo required to npply tho principles of
Hccurlty and Information to the accidents
of tho terrane over which they niny bo en
gaged. Whorefex practicable oxtnnslvo mil
itary maneuvers will be practiced by de
tachments simulating larger bodies of
troopj. but nil under a well dellned system
"Tho long estnbllshcd reputation of tho
nrmy demands that nothing short of perfect
proficiency In active service shall be ac
cepted. To the accomplishment of this nil
officers are required to conscientiously nnd
faithfully execute the requirement of this
and similar orders from these headquarters.''

with swindling a customer, a gigantic rail
road ticket counterfeiting scheme was un
covered. After tho arreat of tho ticket

mate on tho value of the tickets recov
ered, but It Is stated by railroad authori

figure. It Is asserted that! many of tho
tickets nnd passes were forgeries, The

CHICAGO. 111., Aug. 14. There will be no
trlko of the employes at tho steel mills
In South Chicago, This point was settled
tonight when the men refused lo reconsider
the action taken Saturday night, nt which
imo they decided to stand by their con-
racts with the mills nud refused to Join
ho strikers, After they had declined to
rccouslder tonight Assistant Secretary M.
llgho of tho Amalgamated association.
who came to Chicago with tho Intention of
ecurlng a revocation of tho action of Sat-
rday night, If posslblo. declared that ho
evoked the charters of both lodges of the
Amalgamated association In tho South Chi
cago mills nnd declared tho men outside of
he oiganlzatlon. The men greeted his
nuouncement with laughter ad cheers. Mr.
Tlghu arrived In the city yesterday and
spent the day arranging for n sccrot mect-
ng of tho two .lodges of tho Amalgamated
ssoclaton to ho held thU ovenlng. Tho
men gathered nt tho appointed time, but
thero woro so few of them In tho
all that the end of the mnttir wns n fore
gone conclusion. By far the greater num
ber of tho members of the two lodgct hnd
gone to work Instead of coming to tho meet
ing and only b handful wns present. Mr
Tlgho mndc n long nddrest, to tho men, giv
ing them the story of the strike from tho
tnndpolnt of the Amalgamated association
and asking them to help the men In tho
enst by quitting the mills In South Chicago.
beveral speeches were mado hy the local
members of tho association In reply to Mr.
Tlghe, the general trend being that tho
men considered themselves bound by con-
rncts with tholr employers and thnt they
did not think that It wns their duty to turn
their backs on these contracts at tho bid
ding of tho association. At 11 o'clock a
voto was taken on the question of recon
sidering and by nn overwhelming mnjorlty
the men mused to reopen tho question. Mr.
Tlgho then announced tl)at the charters of
both lodges wero rovoked nnd tho mooting
dissolved. After leaving tho meeting Mr.
Tlghe expressed himself as greatly disap
pointed at tho, action takon this evening
and Bald that tomorrow be will go to the
Bayvlew mills at Milwaukee and also to
those at Joltct. Ho will repeat the program
of tonight nt these places, explain1 to the
men thq causes of tho strike and If they
then decline to roconsldcr their action in
refusing to Join the ranks of the strikers
ho will declaro tho charters of all their
lodges forfeited nnd rulo the men out of
tho association.

nuth .Mile Clnlm Victory.
PITTSBURG. Aug. 14. Thoro wore vic
tories on both sides of tho great atpol strike
today, but they furnish no direct lino on tho
ulttmato result of the conflict. Tho strikers
finally succeeded In forcing tho Nntlonal
Tube works at McKeesport, probably tho
largest Individual plant In the United States
Steel corporation, to closo down. On tho
other hand tho steel corporation ro-opened
the big Painter mill in this city and nlso re
sumed operations with nonunion men nt thn
Crescent plant of tho American TIpplatB
company nt Cleveland.
Two mllln woro on at tho Painter plant,
nlthough ono of them brnko down during
tho dny, and according to tho atntcment of
tho officials hnlf the mills In tho Crescent
plant wero moving. Tho forces at both tho
plants named are to bo Increased and tho
mnnagera claim they will soon havo them
working In full. They make tho fifth nnd
sixth plants which tho steel corporation has
succeeded In starting with nonunion men,
tho ethers bolng Wnllsvllle, Hydo Park,
Clarka and Lindsay & McCutcbeon.
Thero wna a great labor demonstration
nt Wheeling today and President 8hnffcr
made a stirring appeal to his followers to
fight on. In nn interview before he spoko
ho said thnt If tho western lodgos did not
heed the final appeal of Assistant Secretary
M. F. Tlghe nnd como out thoy would bo ex
pelled from tho Amalgamated association
and their offers of financial assistance
spurned.
Thero wero few other developments of Im
portance during tho day. Locally tho strike
seems to drag nnd Interest to flag. Great
numbers of tho strikers havo gono away
either for recreation or to work and thero
hns been scarcely any excitement, much less
disorder. McKeesport and Wheeling aro
stirred up periodically, but thero has been
no vlolcnco nt either placo.
Severul Mure 'I'll mi nil mix Out.
Tho general situation Is thUB briefly sum
marized: Tho aprrad of tho strike at Mc
Keesport nnd Wheollng has brought the
number of men who answered the final
atriko order to something over 20,000 nnd
Increnscd the total number of men rendered
Idlo by tho threo orders to about 65,000.
Many of the men drawn Into tho movement,
willingly or unwillingly, continue to accept
othor employment nnd the exact number
now Idlo Is a gueis.
Tho strikers aro fully In control at Mc
Keesport, Wheeling, Now Castle, Bollalr.
Mingo Junction and show gome streiigi
here, Tho manufacturers hold South Chi
cago, Bayvlew, Jnllet, Youngstown, Colum
hiu, tho Klbklmlnotns valley, the tin plant
at Monesson and tho Cnrnuglo group. Of
the last-named property somo doubt Is
expressed as to thu lower Union mill In
Pittsburg- Homo men have loft their
places there and tho strlkors boast that
thoy will closo It down. It Is running,
however, and the managers say It cannot
be stopped.
Desertions from the ranks of the strikers
aro reported from Painter's mill here and
tho Crescent plant In Cleveland nnd the
managers say that It Is only a p.:i.Tiion
of tlmo bctoro thero U Sineral break,
Tho manufacture': -ve made no effort
to break- nc strike at McKeesport or
