BoER PICKETs READING THE BIBLE
IN THE INTEREST OF THE ARMY
Bill Looking TO Changes in stan
Organization.

The Secretary Of War is devoting con-
siderable attention TO the preparation Of a
bill in the interest o. the army. Several
bills for the reorganization Of the army
nave been proposed and one is now under
consideration looking 20 the changes in
the stan organization. The reorganiza-
ton Of the entire stan OF the regular army
will it is expected. receive considerable
opposition from members Of the House
Committee on Military Affairs.
The Secretary Of War in his annual re-
port has expressed himself as in favor OF
a stan composed or officers Of The line. de-
tailed for stan duty The officials Of the
War Department fear. however, that such
a recommendation cannot secure the ap-
proval Of Congress. and a bill is now in
preparation providing several minor
changes IN the stan without affecting the
personnel.
Several plans have been proposed for a
reorganization OF the staff departments,
and one which is favored ty some OF the
members OF the House Committee on Mill
tary Affairs contemplates the COusOlid2-
ton T.. the COmmissary and QuarJermas-
ter s departments into one department 10
be known as the Department OF Supplies.
The same plan COntemplates the cCusOli-
datiOn Of the Inspector Generals Depart
menJ with the AdiUJaut Generals Office.
Il is said that this system OF cons0lida-
tion would receive the support OF MI Hull,
Chairman Of thp Military Committee SOf
the House. Mr.. Hull has taken consider
able interest in the subject OF reorganiz-
ing the army and has under consideration
d bill providing for the permanent estab-
lishment Of the regular army with mini
mum strength OF 5000 men.
Mr.. Hull strongly favors the continue
ton OF the three-battalion organization in
the army. he believes in a large and per
manent increase IN the artillery. and viii
recommend an entirely new organization
Of that arm. He is not in favor Of stab
fishing the artillery as a new department
Of the stan. but advocates its organization
under one head with a brigadieT general
as chief Of artillery TO be on the stan Of
the Major General Commanding the Army
The advocates of the consolidation OF
/ the staff departments, are not favoring the
( immediate adoption of this system. but be
iyIieve that the change should be made
gradually as the present chiefs Of the de
partments retire from service.

BELAsCo AFTER A THEATRE.
The Playwright to Put His TheOric,
Into Practice

INTO EAtAAtF
NEW YORK. Jan. 13.-Mr. David Be
lasco is tying to secure the Herald
Square Theatre property as a site for the
new theatre which he has promised 10
erect in this city
When Mr. Belasco first announced. sew
eral months ago. his intention to build a
new playhouse in New York he said that
he wanted to get a site north OF Forty
second Street At that time he was in ne
gotiatioD for the property owned by the
Aston estate at the corner Of FoTty-lfth
Street Gld Broadway, but objections by
other property owners in the neighbOrhOOd
were made and the matter dropped
Since then several other desirable plots
of ground in the neighborhood OF Longacre
Square have been in contemplation but
something has always happened to prevent
a closing OF the deal.
Once said Mr. Beiasco. last evening.
I'VE practically had the matter settled
when a tenant of part of the property
learned that We wanted it for a theatre
and forthwith jumped the price Of his
lease away out of sight"
The Herald Square Theatre property be-
longs to the Johnston estate and there is
some difficulty in obtaining the consent OF
all the parties interested TO a long lease
I'VE want to buy" said Mr. BeIasco. but
the owners won't sell We are trying now
to persuade them 10 give US a long lease
one long enough to justify us in putting up
as costly a building as We had planned II
we can get the lease We want-at a reason
able rental. Of cOurse-we are ready to put
down whatever money is asked. and We
shall begin work on the theatre at once
We have also proposed to the owners of the
property that they build a theatre in upper
Broadway and we shall not stop at tribes
to carry the deal through"
1t is known that the persons interested in
the Johnston estate have been considering
the ACCESSIBILITY. OF improving the property
by the erection of a hotel or a bushes.
block. and for that reason Mr.. Belasco feel.
hopeful that his proposition for them t.
build a theatre for him may meet with
their approval.
Mr. Belascos friends have assured him o.
an ample supply of capital. and in these ne.
gOtiations he has the assistance of Mr.
Charles Evans. the present lessee of tn,
Herald Square Theatre who is anxious Il
take an interest in the enterprise. Mr.
Evans has four years lease of the proper.
~ now, but it is not Mr.. Belaseo's inten.
ton 20 enter into any partnership with hin
in the management Of the present house.
Il don't want that" said the playwright
last night Il have my ideas about thea.
