Washington, Feb. 6.
 One of the most important matters be- fore the present Congress by the War De- partment is the selection and establish ment of four or more permanent military camp sites to be used for the assembling and maneuvering of the troops of the regular army and national guard
 The general proposition Is conceded to be one of much merit but the number Of patriotic citizens who are clamOrously willing to sacrifice their real estate hold inRs to the government for this purpose, and their vigorous efforts to induce Con- gress to appropriate large sums of money to compensate them therefor. presents a most perplexfng problem with which the House Committee on Military Affairs is now wrestling.
 A score or more of sites have been pro- posed, and bills looking toward the se- lection of each of those have been intro duced by as many members on behalf of their respective constituents. All these bills have been referred to the Commit fee. and several days have already been spent by it in listening to addresses from citizens of almost every State of the Union for or against one or more of the many sites that have been proposed:

 no one to serve them in this capacity
 when they examined the Nacimiento ranch.
 He read several telegrams from prom

Senator Perkins addressed the Commit tee briefly upon the general subject, as did also Representative Daniels. both of
 whom coincided with Secretary Herbert
 in his plan to leave the matter entirely to l the War Department for determination. Judge J. l.. Stevens of Iowa spoke for the Henry ranch. He said he had no crit
 icism whatever to offer of any officer of
 the United States army for any report he had made for or against any of the pro- posed California sites, and that he would | be more than glad to have the selection

 He pointed out the fact that in the re- | port Secretary Herbert had read from, all the California sites had been men tioned, and the recommendation made | that a preliminary and general survey be had of these tracts to ascertain which
