says he, "the general officers of the
army have shown the necessity for an
increase which will place the army
on an efficient basis and enable it TO
perform its duties with credit to itself
and to the satisfaction of the nation.
Events since the commencement of
the Spanish war have demonstrated
beyond doubt the necessity for re-
organization which will enable this
nation to maintain the position in
which II now finds itself placed, so
that, in case Of war, the army may
form the bulwark behind which the
volunteer army may be created, as
has always been done in our country,

Any store can sell you Underwear at 25c,

ments as you wish to buy but every store has not
got the best for the money, and this all impor-
tant point we wish to demonstrate to you fully
and to your own entire satisfaction. We HAVE
SATISFIED thousands Of customers that we,always
give you better Underwear for your money than
any other concern ia the country. That's why
we've always sold more underwear than any two
stores in town. We can sell you ladies' heavy
ribbed leeced Underwear at 20 cents that will
cost 25c to S5c anywhere else, SO that we can
save you zoe on every dollar Of this Underwaw
and it's about this percentage Of saving I'll
through our Underwear department. In mems
Underwear we sell you as good shirt for Doc as
we ever sold and the range Of prices at 75c, 9Oc
$l00, $1.25 and $3.50 are Of unequaled values.

which shows that 40 or so persons
throughout the United States have
been arrested for refusing to reply
to questions of census enumerators.
When the bill making an appropria-
ton for the census was passed a
penalty clause was embodied in it
providing for fine of not to exceed
500 in case Of any one refusing to
answer questions of enumerators.
While 40 or so arrests were made, not
over half dozen fines were imposed,
and those were for small amounts. for
the reason that when the situation
of court trial was faced by the cul-
prits they decided it would be better
to answer the enumsrators' questions,

that While It is impracticable at this
time to make recommendations re-
garding the artillery posts where the
number of men enters as factor, on
account Of the large foreign drafts
it is not too early now to draw up
plans for supporting the coast artil-
lery. 1t is not the province of coast
artillery, he says, to act out of for
tifications, their sphere of operations
being limited, and the presence of mo-
bile troops to repel attacks from the
rear and to prevent landing parties
from gaining foothold is imperative.
On that account the vicinity Of each
post for miles around should be
mapped with a view to determining
the lines Of defense before the neces-
sary time for their use arrives.

Judge Advocate GensrsI'. Report
Washington, Oct. 1O.--The annual re-
port of Judge Advocate General Lem
ley to the secretary of the navy is in
the main made up of a renewal Of
recommendations heretofore made for
the enactment Of legislation for the
relief Of sailors enormously charged
with desertion, compelling civilian
testimony before naval courts, per-
hitting the use of dispositions before
such courts, consolidating examining
boards and providing modern system
Of classification for naval vessels. En-
phasis is laid upon the fact that while
such legislation would result advan-
tageously to the department and the
service generally no expense would be
involved.
