NEED OF COAST DEFENsEs.
Recommendation of Gen. o. o. Howard
Increased Pay Advocated.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 81 Mai Gen.
Oliver o. Howard, commanding the
military department of the east,
aevotes much space in his annu-
al report to the discussion of
coast defenses. The general says that
at New York, San Francisco and Bos-
ton new guns and mortars are needed.
Many fixed torpedoes and submarine
mines have, h. ever, been already
constructed for use at these points.
Gen Howard calls special atten-
ton to the necessity of having
fortified points as basis of proper
defense of our national interests and
recommends that a complete defense
of the combined harbors of Savannah,
GA. and Port Royal, S. c., by
works on Tybee, Hilton Head, Parry
and st. Helena islands be estab-
lished at the most available points for
that purpose. Increased pay for nom
commissioned officers is also recon-
mended. Gen. Howard gives but
half-hearted Endorsement of the can
teen system and says that no soldier
should be permitted to act as bar
keeper IN canteen.

that 'she wants to marry man with

are luxurious. She exhibits them
early in requiring such companion

that her tastes for other Injuries are

the social ladder, that he will be a per-
sonage.
But alasl should their quest be
crowned by victory and they capture
the rising young man and unite him in
holy matrimony with the favored
daughter, how soon the golden fruit
turns to ashes on their lips, and crum-
