President Roosevelt has called halt
on the practice of Government depart

this sort of thing, and he believes that
a large part of the publications is COM
posed of matter of no particular value
to the Government or the people of the
United States. BY his direction Secre-
tary Cortelyou has written a letter to
the head of every executive department,
calling for more concise reports.

Concerning Desertions.

1.-THE foregoing figures are not pleas
ant TO dwell upon. OF course, the loss
in the recruit camp is not to be taken
as an index to the character of the men
now being recruited. as a very large
percentage of desertions from thu group
are due to the fact that the men were
guilty of some former offense. which
they could not conceal when they were
brought in touch with men from all sec
tions of the country who had seen pre-
rious service and who could identify
offenders.
But the losses in the artillery cannot
be explained away in that manner. They
certainly indicated a lower order Of men
than those enlisted prior 10 1898. 1t
would appear 20 be a. wise policy to try
and select recruits with greater care,
now that the number required, has been
SO greatly reduced. and TO look more
carefully into their character aud pre-
vious course of life
