WASHINGTON CITY, Oct Sl.-Gen. Miles,
commanding the division of the Pacific, in
his annual report just received at the war
department, recommends some changes ir
enlistment laws, to check desertion-"the
principal evil besetting the army"-the most
important Of which are reducing the term
Of enlistment to three years, the exercise Of
greater care In in vestigating the morals Of
recruits, and increasing the pay of non com
missionsd officers.
Danger of the Pacific Coast.
The most interesting portion of the report,
both from a political and financial stand
point, is that referring to the defense of the
Pacific coast On this subject he says:
At is one that Should receive the earnest and
immediate attention Of the government 1t is
OF such vital Importance that regard it as
neither wise nor patriotic to longer delay its
improvements we nave not vet

society in which it is safe to trust

not be OF a temporary character. but for u
term of years, in which all business inter.

property seriously deprecated, and the

stroyed in few weeks time "
What the Project viii Cost
1t is estimated, Gen Miles says. that to
put this coast in propsr Condition of de.
tense would require SIS modern guns and
mortars, with their proper carriages and am O..
munition Their estimated cost would be-
So, 067 500. Good authorities have stated
that 1t Will be impossible to transport these
guns across the continent. ana If they were
transported the cost OF transportation
would exceed tue cost OF plant for their
construction on the coast. He does not think il
would he wisdom or good policy for the
government to depend upon one section OF
the country for the manufacture OF its mu
nitions Of war
Similar plants to those established on the
Atlantic coast should be established on the
Pacific cosst, and he recommends that con

and plants for gun making on that coast and
