CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-In reviewing the
work of the United States army in the De-
partment OF the Lakes. Maj. Gen. John C.

pearance OF recruits is not up to the same

being especially noticeable.
According 10 the report the 'baby blue"

officers, and a return 10 the white facings
IS universally desired, as is also the reten-
ton OF the officers blue overcoats, in lieu
OF the new olive drab OvercOat. The general
mess system in operation throughout the
department is declared unsatisfactory, and
a return to the company mess system Is
recommended.
In discussing the need of a military prison.
which the report declares has been fully
demonstrated. General Bates says: The
post guardhouses have been OvercrOwded,
although under instructions from superior
authority / have released many prisoners
where in my Judgment such action not

ceeded that limit I'm efforts to reduce the

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Three alarms
were sounded for a fire which occurred to-
night In the photograph laboratory OF the
United States Geological Survey, located
IN the top story of the HoOe building on +
street, near Fourteenth street.
The combustible character Of the material
stored in the laboratory caused the flames
20 eat their way rapidly through the roof.
but prompt service by the firemen confined
the fire 10 the immediate section in which
rhe laboratory il located. The loss 10 the
survey, which probably VIII aggregate about

graphic blue prints and chemicals in the
laboratory. and 10 the ruin OF some topo-
graphical papers In the typographical Sec
tion on the floor below. The damage TO
the building probably will not exceed s. 900.
The origin OF the fire, II is believed.
was from an electrical connection. 4 set
