functions. For one thing. 1t will make it a
business to know Just how many horses

1t will be the same with all other kinds of
supplies. such as beef and canned vegeta-

which will probably absorb the present Bu-
reau of Military Information. will assemble
all possible data relating to foreign armies,
their arms and equipments.
Its regime will begin in August on the
retirement of General Miles. whom Con-
gress refused to ~legislate out OF the office
OF Commanding General Of the Army.
