TAFT SEES NEED ].
OF LINE OFFICERS
Secretary of War Shows How to
Add to Actual Service by De-
claring Vacancies.
New York Sun Special Service.

Washington, Nov. 29.-More line Of
fcers are needed for the army, says
Secretary Of War Taft in his annual re-
port, made today, owing to the heavy
calls on the forces for details to the gen
eral staff, to military schools and for
similar duties, so he suggests an amend
ment to the law whereby details of line
officers under the rank of lieutenant
colonel shall be declared to create va
cancies in the line, which would add
about twenty five officers to actual SER
vice, where the secretary says they are
needed badly.
He embodies in his report suggestions
from the chief of artillery and other
departmental heads that more men are
required for the coast artillery service
that that branch has only about half as
many as it requires. Secretary Taft
admits the artillery should be increased,
but does not think it necessary to en-
large the army. He suggests that
troops be drafted from other arms of
service for the coast batteries. His
theory is that the army is the skeleton
of what the country would need on
war footing, and tn at, therefore, these
branches Of the service calling for long
er training should be recruited most lib

BRINGS CHEAP RATES
Fergus Falls Envious Of Conditions on
the 500.

The Fergus Falls Free Press has this
interesting comment on the effect of the
new 500 extension in making railroad
rates: '...-- ...
Steve Butler, farmer and county treas
urer, says one Of the best things our
representa- ives: can try to do in the legis-
lature this winter is to get the freight
rates reduced on coal and wood. This
point camegt him very forcibly the other
day when he was at Elbow Lake, where
he found that wood was being delivered
from Dent by, the 500 sline for 80 cents
a cord less than it is placed at in this
city, The haul. to Elbow Lake is at least
twice as far. He also discovered that the
Elbow Lake people were getting the bene-
fit of cheap coal from Dakota. an i'm
possible thing, at present, for this city.
On account Of these conditions a. large
part Of the legitimate Fergus trade now
goes to towns on the 500 line If our
Representatives would go to work and do
something. or even try to do some
thing towards getting an equitable
AID reasonable adjustment Of freight
rates., they would be placed on the list of
our immortals and be taken out Of the
CLASS Of cheap politicians. ".
