NEAR THE DANGER LINE
Few Troops in the west TO Look 10
the ZOO Indians.

/ Washington, Oct. 23.-The war de-
partment made public today the an
nual report of Brigadfer-GeneralH H. c.
Merriam, commanding the department
of the Colorado. The report is robbed
of the greater part of its public inter
est, owing to the fact that only the
most casual reference is made to Gen
egal Merriam's operations in Idaho
during the mining riots. He states
that this feature of the years work
has been fully covered in a separate re-
port already transmitted to the war
department.
General Merriam says that his de-
partment has been almost denuded Of
troops owing to the demands of the for
eign service. The headquarters at
Fort Grant, Arizona, and nine troops
OF the regiment are scattered over
Arizona, Utah and New Mexico. There
are only four other troops and compa-
nies of various regiments in the entire
department. The discipline of this
small force, ne says, has been good,
the school work satisfactory and the
courts martial fewer than in the pre-
ceding year. He says, however, that
considering the presence of $1,000 In
dians in the department, the military
strength has been reduced very close
to the limit of safety
General Merriam says that the
course of practical instruction in
small arms. signal instruction. litter
bearing and first aid close and extend
ed drill, calisthenics and gymnastic
training, as well as the course of in
struction in minor tactics and field
problems, are being carried out with
as good results as should be expected
considering the large proportion of
recruits in the ranks, the comparative
ly large number of young officers ap-
pointed from civil life during the past
two years and other disadvantages in
cidental to a state of foreign war and
the necessary subordination of the
home service and its interests.
Lieutenant-CoI. Francis Moore
Tenth cavalry, acting inspector gen
eraI. in a report to General Merriam
says that the enlisted men in the ser
vice at the beginning of the war could
not be equaled in physique and train
ing, but, by casualties, that class of
men is now pretty much confined to
the non-commissioned officers. They
form Ieaven, however. he says. which
in time will produce good fruit. The
war recruits, enlisted in a hurry, he
says, We're not particularly good. Those
now erlisting seem much better, al
though a good many of them seem of
poor physique. Col. Moore says that
the discipline seems to be as good as
the circumstances will permit. 1t will
take time, however, he says, to bring
the raw mass of new men now in SER
vice up to the standard prevailing be-
fore the enlisted force was increased.
