said to BE Good Ones.

Washington. Nov. 2S.-The annual
report Of Major General Breckenridge.
inspector general of the army. made
public to-day, covers a wide range of
topics. AS To the personnel of officers
and men, the report says: THE reports
indicate a very satisfactory state of
affairs as to harmony and efficiency
among the commissioned officers: and
the number of all ranks serving at
posts who possess zeal and ability of
a high order and excel in the particu-
lar duties to which they have been as
signed receives frequent recognition.
The condition and character Of the en-
listed men appear TO be generally sat

ment in the quality Of young men en-
tering the army which has been so
noticeable during the past few years
has not been abated in the least. In
many instances the recruits are said
10 be of excellent quality and at only

cism."

marks of Large Fake.

SAN Francisco, Nov. 23-The story Of
the airship is not generally credited.
The inventor cannot be found, and those
who are reputed to have seen IL are
not willing to give definite testimony.
G. ID. Collins. the attorney whose name
has been connected with the inventor
as applicant for the patent, admits that
he was retained for such service. but
ridiculed the story OF the Sacramento
flying machine. He says the story Is a
fake. but declares his client Is working
on a machine which Is a combination
Of the aercplane and the tailless kite.
Attorney Collins, however says he has
not seen the flying machine and he
discredlts Its alleged performances.
The name of the inventor Is still with
