Edgerly. , Few If any officers of the Unltel ,v States army have enjoyed 'euoh a wide i, measure or rame aunng recent years as . has Qeneral Oreely. It is now some- ' thins; more than a- quarter of a century . ago that he attracted world-wide at ten ; tlon by a polar expedition, of which he f was the chief.

At the time eaa uenerai ureeiy was uiuunut in the Sth cavalry. The expedition reached a Doint lartner norm man ai record. V Boll Telegraph. Before coins1 to the Arctio lieutenant 2 Oreely had built thousands of miles Of .1 military teiegrapn lines in xexaa ana i the southwest and had acted as an of-1 floor of the signal corps, then under command of Brigadier General Albert J. Myer. The latter organised tne corps, whloh was afterward commanded by Brigadier General W. B. Haien. and later following the death of General Hasen, In 1888, by the returned Arctic hero, who had been made a captain in tne regular course or regimenuu pro motions in th fith cavalry. General Greely had the distinction of being the nrst man wno emerea uie Civil war as a private soldier to be pro.) mote a to tne rana or origaaier general. He waa born in Newburyport, Massa chusetts, March 27, 1844, and received a common scnooi eaucaiion. in iboi, when but a few montha over seventeen years of age, he enlisted aa a private - ana oecame a memoer oi ins nynriu Rifles. Ureeiy continued with his com mand until March, 1883 when a call waa made for non-commlssloned officers to officer the colored troops then being or . ganlsed. Sergeant Greely waa one of the number to respona, ana was commis- , stoned aa first lieutenant In the Eighty fifth United States Colored Infantry. He served with this command until the fall of 1866, rising to the grade of major. He entered the regular arm as a see ' ond lieutenant In March, 1867, and waa promoted to first lieutenant In 187S. Aa evidence or tne slowness oi promowun In the army at that time Is the fact that he served thirteen years aa a first lieu tenant before securing promotion, and during that period attracted 'the favor able attention of the world by htfl ef forts to gain new knowledge of th Arc tic zone. Untiring Worker. Between 1876 and 1879 youna- Greely proved himself to be one of the most untiring workers In the army. During that period he constructed 2,000 miles of military telegraph In Texas, Montana and Dakota. This unprecedented feat made hlrh a marked man in American military circles. Then came the expedi tion to the far north. In 1881, In pur suance of the recommendation of the .Hamburg international geographical .congress, he was given command of the , United States expedition to establish one of a chain of thirteen clrcumpoiat stations. The trying experiences of Greely and his little band are wail known to all readers of history. . During and after the Spanish war General Greely had a further opportun ity to show his great ability as a build er of telegraph lines. Under his Im mediate direction there were built and operated 1.000 miles in Porto Rico, 3,800 miles in Cuba; 2500 miles In Chins dur ing the Boxer outbreak and 10,500 mllos of linen and cables in the Philippines. lie afterwards Installed a system of 3,900 miles Of telegraph lines in Alaska, one of these lines being the first wire leas system to be put to commercial use. One of General Greely's most brilliant "achievements wan the reorganization on Its present efficient basis of the nation al weatner bureau, l-revioua to nis in cumbency the service was of a moat crude and untrustworthy character. He began at once to gather meteorological data from every reliable source, and in the course of time he was able 1;o arrive at something definite. He established a complete system of weather stations in various parts of the country and lifted the service from the plans of ridicule to that of responsibility. . Prior to going to the command of Dakota General Greely was In command of the military . division of the Pacific and In this position he directed the V army relief measures at toe time or tne jsjsjan Francisco earthquake and fire.
