The term general staff does not mean much to the person who la un familiar with the formation of the armies of Europe. The officers of the army above the rank of major have bad personal staffs ever since the organization of the army. The regular staff of the army, constating of tfte officers who have charge ot certain duties not actually connected with the arm in battle, has been a part of the or ganization since Ua Inception. These offi cers devote their time to matters of sup plying the troops with clothing, as In the quartermaster's department, or with food, aa In the commissary's department; with medical attendance and with the Inspection of troops, as well as making reports upon their effectiveness and other work which Is to a great degree clerical or technical with a technology other than that purely mili tary. 4 Bad System Inherited. The regular establishment of the army of the Vnlted States was Inherited, like our common law and many other things good, bad and Indifferent, from the English, and In consequence the establishment wss purely military. Each officer ia drilled at this time with special reference to the command of troops and their maneuvers upon the field of battle. After he haa grad uated from the Military academy he enters the line, and after serving there for a longer or shorter time he may be trans ferred, either temporarily or permanently, Jn-ihe staff, where he Is expected to learn ' the duties of his office while practicing them. He, in times of pesce, usually de pends upon some old sergeant who bas been through the mill under a dozen or more offi cers, and In reality learns little or nothing ot the duties, so that when the time comes (or him to act to prepare men for a cam paignhe la almost helpless. This Is said with no spirit ot criticism, but Is generally admitted by officers ot the army and per sons familiar with the conditions. It is not I the fault of the officers, but of the system I a system, by the way, which wss frVst permanently installed in the regular army when General Greene accepted the position of commissary general in the army of Gen eral Washington with the understanding that be was to be given a command as soon as his services might be required. Its ef fects were last felt In the Spatilsh war. when carloads of perishable goods were rendered worthless because they could not be aent to the troops who required them. , Gcrnia Method Adopted. The general staff Is intended to correct all these evils. For the American army has departed from the English system of organization and has taken the German as Its example, hoping to make aome Improve merits in the course of time upon that sys tern, which is said to be the most complete in Europe. The German system waa the favorite idea t Field. Marshal von Moltke, who was for years the chief ot staff ot the German army. , The object ot the general staff can be shown in the fewest wards by relating an Incident which has passed Into tradition in the armies of the world. It is related that one evening word waa brought to Von Moltke that the French had declared the war which lasted until the surrender of Taris. The veteran chief of staff, who had been one of the men wh formed the Oerman emrjiro. without changing countenance said: "Take the papers from drawer 2".' When drawer 27 was opened it was found that it contained orders which were lmme dlatcly Issued for the movements ot the German army, placing the troops In the most advantageous position to repel French Invasion and to make aggressive move ri' m. It Is said that every general order ftaued for the first thirty daya of the war commanding the movement of troops was foirnd in the drawer at the time Von Moltke had it opened. . Moat Prepare for War. So this Is to be the duty ot the general staff of tho army ot the United States. It Is. in times of peace, to prepare for war. and to make plans which may be put Into Immediate effect In case of wsr with any ot 'Jhe nations which may make trouble for this Initnry. There are a large number of na ignoi which may in time coma to Mow a with the United States, as the inter ests ot the country expand, but there are but tew which would offer any serious prob lem, and while we are on the beat of terms with all ot these nations at this time. It Is more thsn suspected in army circles that there is another drawer In the cabinet ot Emperor William, with other ordera pre pared, and it would not be surprising that. by rail since starting out from Wsshing- of us, whereas President McKlnley would ton and had still two-thirds of their jour- stand still until we cleared the road, ney to complete. When they aball hava "The great trouble as a rule with the returned to the national capital, the spe- police and the guardsmen who do duty on cial tfaln placed at their disposal will have occasion," he continued, "is that they been hauled IX.K& mltee When iti nr..!. hold the crowd back up to the time the dent arrived In Omaha he had been out President arrives and then become so intent inntemi of oni, one night." added still another. "We won't forget the Omaha folks no matter how the other towns may try to lay themselves out. I'd lust like to take that club house home with me the man who took me In tow waa reg ular prince. From the moment I landed at the depot till I got back to the train he was right on the spot to help me get everything in sight." 'I just wish we stopped In Omaha for a twenty-seven days out of sixty-nix days that his vacation tour la to consume. For this great trip, encircling half the country and almost equal to a girdle round the globe, every possible convenience wss, of course, prepared and every detail that could be foreseen provided for. The presidential train in equipment Is without queatlon the nearest to the moving palace that has been reached in modern railroading. It pro vldes a special car for the president and his Immediate , guests, with observation room, smoking room, sleeping apartments, bath and refectory, a compartment car for the secretaries, stenographers, secret service men, etc.; a sleeping car for the newspaper and telegraph representatives, a luxurious smoking csr with barber shop, etc., and a special baggage car.

Notwithstanding the fact that he bas been far from well during much of the trip, the perfection of the details snd the smooth ness of their execution attests the success of( Secretary Loeb in this trying capacity. President , Roosevelt seems to enjoy his trip and to get the most out of every min ute of it. But it is by no means all play.

And that something' wrong w generally a loss of nutrition due to dis ease of the stomach and the other organa of digestion and nutrition. S o m e times this loss of flesh is accom panied by variable appetite, but in man j cases the ap petite does not fail and there may be a constant desire to eat. Languor, nervousness, irri tability, sleepless ness, are symptoms often associated with this loss of nutrition and fal ling olf in flesh.

Y. bsslng Ita organisation upon the Oerman system, the general staff of the American army may not prepare a drawer with coun ter orders. France was not tho only pros pective enemy which Germany bad pre pared for and there were other drawers, so In the Vnlted States one ot the duties of the general staff will be to decide what course the army ot the United States should follow In case of war with any particular nation. 8hould war be with Mexico the movement of the troops would be radically different from what It would be In case ot war Involving Canada. War with Franca would mean one movement and war with China another. All of these possible con tingencies must be considered by the gen eral staff and tentative plans adopted to provide for any condition. Other Problems to Solve. But It is not with the movement of troops alone that the general staff will deal. In its membership are representatives of every department Ot the army the ataff positions ot the present dsy. These representatives will ba expected to take such part In the preparation for possible wars as to know exactly what each ot tho troops In those departments . will be required to do. For example, the representatives ot the commis sary department on the general staff will ba expected to know Just how much food will be tequlred for any probable move ment, and not only that, but bow It can best ba transported to the troops, and tha ration In which it should be Issued under all circumstances. This department will also havs to select an emergency ration hlch, shall be permanent and shall be Issued under certain conditions. The quartermaster's department will be expected, through Its representative on the general staff, to prepare auch orders for tba movement of troops over railway Unas, and the transportation ot material from depots and garrisons to the probable place of mobilisation aa will be required by the number of troops called at any given time. The medical department will prepare or ders tor the movement of the hospital corps and the transmission of field hospitals and medicines to the front. qaaJiaVatloaa for tha Staff. These are the non-mllltary features of war, but without them the military features would be i ill possible. The Oermsn mili tary staff Is exceedingly militant in Ita military features, but In the non-mllltary features It has Uttls to do with things military. The commissary general, or offt cer of simllsr grsde. Is not expected to be a tactician, or atudent of military affairs, but he la expected to know to an ounce how much food a man requlrea under any condition and ta have that food ready for tha sua when It Is needed. The chief ot the quartermaster's department Is in a simllsr position, lis Is not required to know the orders necessary to form a hol low square, but he is required to know the orders necessary to get food to ramp to till, a hollow stomach, and not only ta know the orders but bow to carry them out. It matters not thst the surgeon should be unable to tell the difference be- ltween a "brigade front" and a "column ok lours, nur. in ueciiraij n.aeauai inai he should know the effectiveness of his hospital corps and how they can best be bandied whea needed. ' These are tho things which the general staff of the army Is to tske under con siderationpractical questions which will make it unnecessary for officers to learn their duties while experimenting upon men In the field or In csmp. It Is expected that the new system of encampments of regulars and National Guards will . give the members of the general staff and the officers of the departments an opportunity to become more familiar with conditions and requirements of troops In camp and field than any other plan that bas been In vogue In times ot peace. Military Feavtares Essential. It Is not alone with the nonmllltary fea tures that the new general staff will deal. The staff bas many mora officers upon it not connected with these departments than are so connected. Their questions will be, after all, mainly military in the strictest sense. Proposed changes In arms will be considered; amendments to ths drill regu lations and the manual of arma; Improve ments In tha methods ot handling troops of the different arms of the service; any thing which In any way affects tha army will bo submitted to the officers ot the general staff for consideration. The personnel of the staff has been pub lished and each member selected by the board of general officers and approved by the secretary of war Is said by his fellow officers to be entirely qualified tor the work. The generals who are to take active part In the staff havs not at this Urns been announced. It Is understood that they will be men who have comparatively long terms of service before them, so that they may be given an opportunity to test some of the plans which they have mads It required. But the whole object of the general ataff is not really to prepare for actual warfare, but to make tha army and Its auxiliaries, tjie National guards, so effective that war against ths United States will never be declared, and so superior to any other that no nation will force this country to declare wsr. til AIT FKATI BKJ OP LIFE. The following announcement has been telegraphed from rursl Ohio, and is Im portant if true: "The lower set of false teeth which Charles Wilgru of West Mans field had awallowed and for which an op eration was performed on him Saturday, haa been found in the woodshed at his house." Aa eloping couple ot blind persons were married In Cambridge, Mass., last Tuesdsy. The clergyman who officiated afterward said that he thought the law ought to pro hibit such msrrtages, but the bridegroom had obtained a license, and. "though he didn't like the Idea." he "did hla duty." He added: "I felt compelled to do It, be cause I sympathized with them, sod then somebody would hsve to perform the cere mony anyway." Rer. James C. Bradley, a young preacher of Guthrie, Ok!., made a funny alip of ths tongue a couple of months ago, but 'is very glad of It now. He was leading the serv ices st a young people's meeting and In the course of bis prsyer said: "Oh, Lord, give as cleso hearts, humble hearts, pure hearts, sweet hearts." Tba laat caused a titter which nearly broke up ths service. After ths meeting was over one of ths young sitters Jokingly inquired if ba really meant it. Her question gave -him an op portunity to plead a suit ho had feared to suggest hitherto, and the culmination of his odd mistake In the pulpit came In his union laat week to the girl who had Joked him about It. Here is a curious advertisement, repub lished in The Cornhlll Magazine from an eighteenth century paper: "Wanted For a family who have bad health, a sober, steady person. In the capacity of a doctor, surgeon and apothecary. He must occa sionally act In the capacity of butler and dress balr and wigs. He will be required to read prayers occasionally and to preach a sermon every Sunday. The reason of this advertisement Is that tha family cannot any longer afford the exponas ol the phys ical tribe, and wish to be at a certsln ex pense for their bodies and souls. A good salary will be given." Someone has deeply injured tba feelings of the editor of the Hardeman (Tenn.) Free Press, and It muBt have been the man who swings tha glue brush on the Johnson City Comet, for ha of the Free Press says: "Tha Johnson City Comet says we air the ugliest editor in Tennessee. We don't pre tend to ba no Apollinaris Belvidere, but If we was as ugly as Cy Lyle we would go out and drown ourself In water." George K. Warner, who owns and operates a large wheat farm In tba Red River valley, North Dakota, hopes he baa cured one Duluth girl of the gum chewing habit, even though at a cost of ISO.

Warner looked upon her with manifest disapproval. "I detest gum chewers," he said, and she lsugbed merrily. "Tell you what I'll do," he continued.
