Show Lieutenant Geueral Miles Reprimanded for Talking of the Schley Controversy. Secretary of War Root, Saturday severely se-verely reprimanded Lieutenant-General Miles for expressing in an interview an opinion in the Schley case, after orders had been issued that army and navy officers should not talk in public about the case. Secretary Root's closing clos-ing words were : "You had no business in the controversy and no right, holding hold-ing the office which you do, to express any opinion. Your conduct was in violation vio-lation of the regulations and rules of official propriety; and you are justly liable to censure which I now express." |
