PREPARING FOR THE NEXT WAR SeGretaru Root, Before Golno Away-, Reminds the flrmu Tliat This Is Now In Order. OFFICERS' COLLEGES TO BE ESTABLISHED There Are, He Says, 1,542 New Lieu tenants in the Line of Army Who Have to Be Qualified for Independ ent: Command Urges That All West Point Graduates Help to Make the Education of These Now Officers Complete. By Kxihuhc Wire from The Auocited Press. Washington, July 22. Secretary Root, before leaving Washington today, is sued the following: With the reduction of the Phillonlna 'force and the withdrawal from Cuba, the army is called upon to resume Its most important work in time of peace the work of perfecting Itself In military sci ence and skill, and of promoting the prep aration of the United States agulnst fu ture wars. 1 wish to cull your attention to tho conditions which now require es pecial effort and zeul on your part In the performance of this duty. Since the declaration of war with Spain in April, IMS, there have been appointed in the lino of army, 1,342 lieutenants, In addition to 2TK appointed from tho mili tary academy. Of these till! were anDolnt- cd from officers of volunteers under the act of February. 1001; 4H were appointed from the enlisted men of the regular and volunteer armies and 512 weie appointed from civil life. The abandonment of military schools for commissioned offlcerv, which followed the employment of the entire army in active military operations, lias left theso 1,512 new lieutenants substantially with out any means of ucquhing a system atic military education. While many of the former officers ol volunteers have ac quired tho most valuable experience by active service in the field, jet it is of great Importance to thcin, as well as to the un trained appointees from civil llfo and from the' ranks, that they shad huvo an opportunity for broad and thorough train ing, both practical and theoretical, under lio co'mpot'ent'masters In the art of war whom our army Is able to supply. Congress has now with wise liberality made provision for tho re-openlng of tho army sc'hools, lias given Its sanction to the general system of military education embodied In the general order of Novem ber 27 Inst, Including the enlargement unit development of trie Fort Leavenworth school Into a general service and staff college, the establishment of tho war col lego at Washington, with suitable hutld ings, and tho ro-bullding of the engineer school; and bus made amplo appropria tions for these purposes. Kvery effort will be made by the war college board, which has general super vision and charge ot tho whole system, to bring Its advantages to the new officers of the army as speedily as possible and to organize officers' schools at ull the con siderable posts without delay. I ask for hearty and effective co-opcratlon with them on the purl of every officer of tho army. There arc 1.432 gruduutcs ot tho military academy now holding commis sions. They especially havo an opportun ity to demonstrate their loyalty to the principles of that Institution by helping to diffuse throughout the bcrv.cc'tho ben efits which have come to them from their four years of hard study. The newly appointed officers should real Ire tlmt there is much to be learned, uud that tho way to qualify themselves for tho high and Independent command, for which they should nil hope. Is by con stunt intellectual exercise and by system atic study of the reasons of mllltnry ac tion and the materials and conditions and difficulties with which military command ers havo to deal. Careful attention to the Instruction ot the newly appointed officers Is enjoined upon all regimental, troop, battery and company commanders. They should be Impressed with tho Importance of the faithful performance of every duty, how over unimportant It mriy appear to them, and with their responsibility for such con duct and bearing In all their relations as shall do honor to the service.

" f'-T--.t,tt.'f.sTjrfc!:A Saus the Questions at Issus In tho Philippines Will Mil Be Sat isfactorily AdU8ted. SOVEREIGN PONTIFF IS MUCH PLEASED Archbishop Declares the Reports Sent to London Papers by the Rome Correspondents Concerning the Ne gotiations Were Absolutely Un foundedThat the Scene of the" Negotiations Have Been Trans ferred from Rome to Manila Might , Have Been Expected from the Beginning. By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press. St. Puul, July 22, Archbishop John Ireland, in an interview with a repre sentative of the Associated Press to day, reviewed at some length the pro gress of the negotiations conducted be tween Judge Taft and the Vatican, and took to tusk certain Catholic organ izations that had assumed to question the fairness ot the administration to ward their co-rcllglonlsts. The arch bishop said: Yc, tho news l'tom Rome Is quite sat isfactory, and It Is, I am sure, quite cor rect. Private udvlccs coming to mo from the most reliable source confirm, in all respects, the dispatches given by the As sociated Press. The sovereign pontiff and other Roman authorities are delighted with Governor Taft personally and with the negotiations in course of progress be tween him and tho Vatican. Reports sent out by tho corresp'ondents of certain London papers to the effec't that the pontiff was displeased with the manner of noting of the commission of cardinals appointed to trOat with Gover nor Taft wero absolutely unfounded. As stated In this morning's Roman dis patches, tho pontiff assured Governor 'aft that ho was most satisfied -and happy at the results so fur obtained, and that ho. was confident tho negotiations begun In Rome would bo the starting point of a complete and 'satisfactory conclusion cf the matter tinder discussion. Necessity for Transfer. This statement sums up in the most cxilct manner the situation as tho vati-. can views It, and us It really is. That tho negotiations have not yet reached final conclusions and uro to bo transferred from Romu tp'Munila Is what might have been expected from tho beginning. Gov ernor Taft Is In a hurry to return to the Philippines and could not prolong his stay In Rome, and on the other hand the problems to be solved are so complicated, especially from tho Vatican standpoint, that time in the work is of prime neces sity. Ho curries awuy with him the pontiff's statement that the negotiations begun In Rome will prove to havo been In the starting point of u complete, sati'factoiy solution of the questions nt issue, and that much he considers to bo quite suf ficient for the moment. There can bo no doubt that the active co-operation of the vntlean Is now secured to tho American government In its task of pacification In tho Philippines, nnd thnt In the results to come tho administration at Washing ton will huve ample reason to felicitate Itself for' huving sent Governor Tuft to Rome. And now it Is to be hoped there will be among certain classes of Catholics in America, a cessation of movements and declarations such as we have had recent occasion to hear ot regarding religious matters In tho Philippines. The pope touches thoso Catholics to trust the American government, as they seemingly havo heretofore been unwilling to do. In his conversation with Governor Taft ho expressed tho highest esteem for Ameri can methods of treating church mutteis, and rcmuiked thnt he had more than once pointed towards the United States ns setting an example well worth copy ing. Taken to Task. His words ought to signify something to those who profess to tako him ns their leader and guide. At any rate, tho direc tion of Catholic affairs is his business, not that ot Irrespnnsiblo church societies or newspaper edltois, and when hu in fotms Catholics that any ono mutter is In his hands, thej ought pinmptly to step usldo and allow him to huvo chargo ot It. Tho question of religion In tho Philip pines Is now formally and ofllclnlly hla own, and It should bo considered ns, such. A fow may icmalu who believe that they have a better understanding of It than ho has, and will Insist on tolling him how .to haudlu It; but such as thoso are few and nt least it will bo clear that they hold no bilef whatover from tho Cutholtc church at large. As to Mr. Taft I quoto from a letter which I received yesterday from a Cath olic priest living In the archoplscopal pal ace in Manila, the Rov, father McKlu uou; "I can assure you nothing could he more unjust than tho criticisms of Gov ernor Taft appearing In soma Cathojlu pnpers. Governor Taft has hot a par ticle of bigotry In his make-up. In all his acts here, I defy any one to say ho lms shown himself prejudiced In tho least." Some of the Facts. ' " And ns to schools in the Philippines, why not when tho presonco of non-Cathollu teachers is talked of, stato that out ot a, total of 5,000 teachers, 3,500 are Filipino Catholics? Why. not stato that Father McKlnuon Is a member of the schpol board of Manila? And why, when men tion Is mado ot non-Cutlioilo teachers, allow the false Impression to go abroad that many of theso wero ministers and nctlvo prosclytlzers? And why not re member that, by the law of the Islands;, clergymen who are ministers In any placo of organized congregations may three times a week teach religion In the schools of tho place, the condition that they bo ministers of organized congregations vir tually confining tho privilege to tho Cath olic priesthood? Perhaps, Ideally, some thing moro might bo desired; but Ilia conditions within which tho government; Is confined must bo considered; and, at least, when disadvantages to religion uia quoted, tho advantages 'that are allowecj should also he set forth- i Sr2l -fl 1 7Vwl i 'fC J? .
