General Miles Faces War Department Rift Over Command
Washington August 1 General Miles plans to ask Secretary to decide on the relation between the general commanding the army and the secretary of war. Miles has not chaired the office in a year and a half since travel disrupted the routine. A clash with Secretary Alger led to friction, with Miles avoiding direct consultation as the army headquarters remained in the secretary’s office. Experts see no fixed law defining the command chain, and fresh secretary options may prompt Miles to accept a military footing. The outcome could restore the wheels of war machinery and the army’s efficiency.
