pays special attention to the desertion ques-

seem that some kind Of . probationary sys-

among recruits could be eliminated without
resort to the crime of desertion. II does not
seem necessary that men be required, in time
of peace. to bind Themselves absolutely to
serve five years. A sufficient remedy per-

Gen. Schofieid recommends that the en-
listed strength Of the army be increased to
80 600, which would supply the force neces-
sary for the proposed reorganization Of the
artillery and infantry, as well as giving more
Dargin for recruits under instruction.
Referring to the work Of the board Of
ordnance and forti6cation. he says; THE
plans of the engineer of the department will
provide all land defences necessary for the
security of the great maritime ports of the
country In very few cases these land de-
fences will need to be supplemented by
floating batteries, or powerful harbor de-
fence vessels, because the necessary founda-
tions for guns do not exist on solid ground.
Submarine mines and movable tOrpedoes
will play important though \ secondary
part in the general plans for defense. A
provision should be made for necessary
garrisons at the principal sea ports" A
table was given showing the necessities of
this work. The war garrisons of our sea-
coast defences would be about 50, 900 artil-
lerymen and 1906 guns of modern construc-

sary

rules, one of the two chips is to keep out Of
the way ard the other shall keep her course

PORTLAND. Nov. Is.
1t has already been reported that the
Treasury Department proposed to cut down
the force at the Portland custom house. 1t
vas intended to do this November lst, but
Congressman Reed obtained . postponement
until the 18th of November.
Today the collector has received notice
the department will insist on the reduction.
One deputy collector, one clerk and several
inspectors will accordingly be discharged,
probably within few days.
The reason for this move is that the d.
partment want to save money and because
they think the work at this port can be done
