FAvORS THE CANTtEN
Corbin's Report. Early Mar
riages of Soldiers 0p-
posed. Vocal Music.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Nov. THE annual re-
port of Major General H C. Corbin,
Adjutant General of the Army, shows
that during the fisal year there were S2
officers killed in action or died of wounds
and diseases. II resigned and 6S retained.
OF the enlisted men, 1927 were killed or
died of wounds or disease; 35.S06 were
discharged on the expiration of service;
5,S9S were discharged for disability or
dismissed by order of court martial;
1867 deserted; 2 were missing and 20S
retired.
General Corbin, in alling attention TO
his former recommendation that rank
and pay of military attaches should be
increased, suggests that retired officers
of high rank might be selected for this
service. While the number of attaches
have been decreased the service has
improved because of the reciprocal re-
lations that have been established with
the War Department of the several
governments where officers are stationed.
He cites the two cases where the mill
tary attaches at Paris secured the model
of the Isbal rifle and the French saddle
from Lnc tTeucn SONeEnIbcul.
In reviewing the reports of the off,
GERS who participated in the army and
Navy manoeuvres last September, Gem
eral Corbin says that much valuable
information was acquired.
He strongly recommends that similar
ly exercises be conducted annually and
made to embrace each year new
theatre of operations.
The Adjutant General has obtained the
number and kind of arms in the hands
of the national guards in the several
States and finds less than 1000 United
Statees magazine rifles in their posses
sion. Of the multitude of other types
he says
This heterogeneous collection of obse-
lete arms is very serious detriment to
the efficiency of the entire national
guard. which, in organization drill, in
struetion, etc, assimilates closely TO the
regular army, and should be armed With
the same arms as the latter"
General Corbin recommends legislation
providing that Major Generals Merritt,
Brooks and Otis, now on the retired list
be given the rank of Lieutenant General
He has the following to say concern
ing early marriages:
The early marriage of the younger
officers of the army many of whom are
entirely dependent upon their pay and
allowances for support, is greatly to be
deplored and should be discouraged.
General Corbin has the following re-
garding the canteen;
'"Thc restoration of the exchange as 1t
existed prior to passage of the act of
February ,, 1901, prohibiting the sale of
beer, is desired and urged by the great
majority of officers and men of pro-
nounced temperance ciews. Numerous
reports confirm the views long held by
this officer that the old exchange cen
tributed TO sobriety. health and content
ment Of the men"
In conclusion he says:
"The instruction of our men in vocal
music would be a step in the direction
of contentment and better discipline.
Every regiment should have its march
ing song"
