cusses Plans for Kansas Forts.

Kansas City reached this city at 5
o'clock Saturday night. Secretary Root
did not leave the union depot until shortly
after 10 o'clock, when he walked to the
Missouri Pacific train and at 1915
started on his journey to Columbus, .,
where he is to make an address at the
convention of the national guard officers
tomorrow
Secretary Root said:
We are carrying out a systematic
plan of developing the army posts in
Kansas. 1t is the purpose of the gov
eminent to make Fort Leavenworth a
model post with every branch of the
service represented there at full war
strength. artillery, infantry, cavalry,
signal corps, etc. About 5000 troops will
be permanently stationed at Fort Leav-
enworth. Fort Riley will continue to
be the great cavalry post and viii be
the permanent vancouver camp for this
part of the country.
Thus the officers stationed at Fort
LeavenWorth and in attendance at the
infantry and cavalry school can acquire
a familiar knowledge of the operation
of all branches of the army service. an
instruction that viii be particularly
valuable because of the fact that the
officers will be enabled to study the
various branches of the service at their

Ough instruction in all branches of the
service In the fall the troops at Fort
Leavenworth will go to Fort Riley,
where the permanent maneuver camp is.
They will have the benefit of army
movements worked out on the largest
scale possible.
The purpose of the government IS to
continue these maneuvers at Fort Riley
on even larger scale than were the
maneuvers last fall at that place. We
hope TO have more of the national guard
troops at Fort Riley at future maneuv-
ers. The national guard troops could
not attend in large numbers last year
