Washington. Aug. 29.-The last of
fetal utterance of Lieut.. Gen. Nelson
A. Miles has been made public through
unofficial sources in the War Depart
ment.
General Miles makes a number of
important suggestions in the remodel
ing of the army organization. He pro
poses to minimize the cavalry branch
and to equip strong corps of war mo-
tor cycles and armed automobiles in
its place. He favors mounted riiiemen.
but says the horse is far less impor-
tant than formerly and that the auto
mobile will take its place in the next
war.
One of his most important recon-
mendations is the establishment of n
road-building corps of 5000 men as
a nucleus to construct military roads
in time of peace and to cooperate with
the state authorities in the movement.
He would have the corps fully
equipped with modern road-building
machinery and begin at once the work
of improving the principal highways
that have military and strategic Inn
portance.
