writes to the State Department, relative to
the numerous requests of young men in
this country, who have recently left the
service of the United States, asking for Do
sitions as military advisors or instructors
in the Corean army. that there is no de-
mand for their services in that capacity.
Corea having announced her intention and
ability to dispense with foreign assistance

Gathered and Considered.

The first meeting of the naval ,o,,o,,
board has been called for ApriI II ava
thereafter the board will probably meet
once week until it has reduced its ,,,orl,
10 routine form. The board is believed to
ilciuds In It's composition some of the ablest
ohlcers IN the United States navy. and tho
ploplems with which it will be called unon
TO deal are of sufficient gravity 10 demand

Inc work of the board will be without
precedent. 1t is true that heretofore uba.
are known as the intelligence bureaus of
the War and Navy Departments have on
deaVored to compile and have i'm sbana fo-
use in case of hostilities information Pc
specting the resources. in a Yarlila v,a,-

cldent to the routine duties of The intsIii
Sehce ofhcers, and owing to lack of sy-sto
iIatc direction has never been of mora
than ephemeral value.

The policy board is to undertake tbts
work on larger lines and will proi,abIv Ia

business TO provide in advance completely
worked out plans of naval carnpaigns. Of
1ensive and defensive. applicable to anv
marltlme power with which the United
states may by any possibility come into
hostile conflict in the future. The prepara-
tlon of these plans involves an enormous
amount of work, theoretical and practical
Inc military and naval resources of for
elsn countries must be ascertained to n
nicely, and this information must be re-
neWed from the latest sources from time 10
time Accurate coast charts and plans of
defenses must be secured in order To avoid
as far as possible the serious omissions
made by the British authorities in the case
OF the geography of the TransvaaL
Work of the War College.
The war college will probably be called
upon to assist in the work by continuing
on an enlarged scale the planning of the
utilization of the United States naval forces
in defensive campaigns. Then another
branch of the work will be the preparation
of plans for naval operations when the
navy is called upon to act in conjunction
with the army. both Extensively and defen-
sively, and this incidentally involves ques-
tons of harbor defense and the protection
of the naval stations. The Pearl Harbor
board is now engaged in a scheme for the
establishment and fertilization of a naval
station in that harbor. and it is probable
that this report will be submitted to the
policy board before any attempt is made
to carry into effect its recommendations
1t is possible that when Pearl Harbor has
been disposed of the same or a similar
board may be called upon to consider the
establishment of a naval station on the
Island of Guam, but il is said at the NAVY
Department that up to the present mo-
ment no consideration has been given to
this subject, and there is no data vet avail
able for the guidance of the board in franz
ing a plan of defense.

New York, May 23.-Great excitement
prevailed at the cotton exchange today.
An enormous business was transacted.
Prices broke rapidly. Immediately after
the opening, which was at an advance Of
to points, on buying by parties who
thought the market had experienced de-
cline enough. There was a steady
stream of selling orders from the south
and the room trading contingent were
quick to detect the inherent weakness
of the situation. They also became
heavy sellers. August liquidation was a
feature. The August price broke SO
points from the call figures, this being
a decline OF about 1850 points since the
selling movement was instituted. The
primary cause of the weakness was the
superlative average of crop accounts
reaching this market and cabled TO
Great Britain and the continent. Foreign
selling orders were very heavy. The
market closed at about the lowest point
of the day.
