a four-year tenure.

record office In tbe world, and the
volume of business handled surpasses
that of any other administrative

respondence during the wur was al
most ninety-five times aa great as
that handled in normal times, and al
though there has been some dtmunl-
tlon In the work, It still is far In
excess of any previous peace-time de
mands. An Instance Is cited by Gen-
rat Harris, who said 925,930 pieces
of mall were received during the fis

the total number for the year 1919.

Rome, June 24.—Slowly (lie god of
commerce is grinding away a little
at a time the romance and, antiquity
of this cradle of civilization.
The Corso, from tbe time of Ro
man emperors the busiest thorough
fare of the city, Is losing its ancient
chatacter. Tile four huge triumphal
atchea which once spanned the street
were destroyed centuries ago. Pal
aces and churches were left, but ths
palaces are fulling before the irre
sistible demands of commerce.
Two huge old palaces occupying a
site half-way up the Corso have al
ready gone down before the commer
cial onslaught. In their places have
been reared two big, gaudy structures
to be occtapled by banks, which stand
out In bold contrast to the quiet col
oring of tho undent gems of archi
tecture.
When the palaces are not torn
down they are modified I11 such a
way that the Interior decoration, some
o( which has stood the test of cen
turies, Is effaced and sometimes plas
tered. Numerous alterations are mads
to suit the necessities of business.
In the quarter where the church of
St. John Latemii la located a new
amusement company has taken pos-
session of a large square, of vacant
ground and has erected carrousels
roller-coasters, ferrls-wbeels and slda
shows. The romance and beauty or
the spot has vanished.

General Harris raid his main pur

Among the many new features of
the organization In the adjutant gen

assistant adjutant general before hit
promotion to tha full charge. They
include the abolition of tbe muster-ln
and muster-out rolls of tha National
Guard, which caused loss of days In
1916; the substitution of the soldier’s
service record for the descriptive list,
which rendered obsolete - three blank
forms; the abolition of the muster
rolls la tbe regular army; reduction
of company records; tbe simplifica
tion of monthly returns; the monthly
publication of general orders and bul

Only recently General Harris was
attacked by a civilian employe lu hi*

tbe secretary of war on recommenda

publication, aald; "In view of the
