MORE TROOPS ARE NEEDED.
Little Chance of Getting Men for
Fort Lawton Until the Army IL
Increased by Congress.

According to Maj. Ruhlen, the local
quartermaster. there is only a very slim
chance that the army post at Fort Law
ton Will soon be occupied by troops UNI
less congress at the approaching session
provides literally for an increase in the
army. There IS dearth of troops
throughout the United States. In many
OF the forts in the interior of the coun-
try, which have accommodations for two
fuil regiments OF men. there is barely a
corporafs guard on duty, or merely
enough TO act as guardians of the public
property.

TEAMS STUCK IN THE MUD.
Contractors Supplying Fort La~ton
Are Delayed I'm Delivery Of
Forage for Animals.

Unless the city authorities make haste
to remedy the condition OF the Fort Law
ton road Quartermaster Ruhlen will have
o serious diff1culty in keeping the horse
corral at the army post supplied with
provisions for the men and hay and grain
for the animals now In camp there. Yes
terday the contractors who are supplying
the post with forage for the animals no
titled Mai. Ruhlen that their teams had
broken through the planking and that tho
dirt road between the end OF the city's
planked road and the post site had be-
come impossible.
The contractors have reported that be-
cause of the condition Of the road they
will necessarily be slow In delivering sup
plies to the corral. This confirms the
statements made by the Observation-Disclosures
as to the urgent need Of remedial meas
ures by the municipal authorities In or
der to make Il possible for the quarter
master to continue the animal camp at
Fort Lawton. Nothing can be done by
the government until the CITY places the
roadway In good shape. The Seattle Elec-
trio Company yesterday started the work
OF replAnkfng the Beach Drive bridge.
1t will be perhaps week before this Is
finished. IN the meantime efforts will he
made to repair the road temporarily so
as to allow the passage of teams.
Tho city council Is expected to pass an
ordinance Monday night appropriatinE
funds for the construction OF a plank road
over the steep grade leading from the end
OF the present pianking to the post site.
