MI, Introduced In Congress for Mill

Col. Marsh has introduced bill au-
thorizing the secretary of war to detail
officers on the active and retired lists
of the army to the public schools
throughout the country for the purpose
of giving military instruction to the
male attendants. The secretary Is per-
mitted to detail an officer with the rank
of captain to cities with population
of 100000. sergeants to those having q
population of $4,000. and corporals
where the population is only $4,000. In
discussing his bill Col. Marsh said:
81 am heartily in favor Of this meas
ure, and believe 1t will be o good thing
for the boys Of the country. 1t will not
only instruct them in military tactics,
but will instill in them spirit of patri-
otism. With comparatively no expense
the government will be training our
boys in the art of war, and II their serv'
ices should be required in the future

fense of their country, and at the sam'
time will have great deal of militar!

SOLDIER DISCHARGES.
Army Authorities Take steps to stop
the Appeals of Relatives of Men
In the Philippines.

Army authorities have become in
ceused at the ridiculous excuses which
are sometimes trumped up by the rela-
tives and friends of soldiers who wish
to evade military service and who de-
sire their premature discharge from
the army Gen. Miles has decided to
discourage this system OF securing
favors, especially as it appears that in
many cases the reasons given are spu-
rious.
At least, it is Gen. Miles name which
appears at the foot of letter which
has been sent to Gen. Otis and other
department commanders. which says:
"In view of the fact that many ap-
plications for discharge of enlisted men
are received at this Office, based on
statements that the parents, sisters,
brothers, etc, are sick or that for some
reason since their enlistment their rela-
tives have become destitute, which con-
dition in many cases existed when the
men enlisted, and which statements
are frequently found to be false and
only used in order to enable the men
to be discharged and then enlist IN
other regiments, the major genera
commanding the army directs that OF
ficers to whom the applications are sub
mitted should not favor them nor for
ward them. asa rule. unless they hav
first obtained proof of the statement
or are otherwise convinced OF the trutl
thereof"

TO TEST SUBMARINE BOAT.
Member. OF Congress TO he Given nm
Opportunity TO See what the Hei--
land Torpedo boat Can Do.

Much interest is taken in the sub
marine boat Holland. which has been
brought to Washington and will soon be
added to the list of naval vessels. 1t is
proposed to have some thorough trials
of the craft on the Potomac river, and
members Of the house and senate naval
committees will be invited to witness
the tests, and prominent naval officers
will form board to pass upon the
merits of the boat. 1t probable con-
structor and engineer and another
naval officer who is an expert on ord
nance will go down on the boat. The
course will be staked off and the boat
will run at various speeds in sub
merged condition.
The naval officers by no means agree
upon the efficiency of this type of boat,
and the information possessed by the
navy department does not show the for-
eipners have made much more prog
ress than have we. In fact. the Holland
is an Improvement upon the foreign
craft. and the plunger which is under
slow construction at Baltimore pos
sesses some improvements over the Hol
land.
The demonstration with the latter
craft in the Potomac will probably
have some influence upon naval opin
ion. but II is likely there will alway'
be those experts who do not have mucl
fnith in the submarine method of war
fare. An interesting feature OF tn
coming tests will be the discharge TO
the first time of an actual torpedo un
der water from the submarine boat.
