Suggests Compulsory Retirement at
the Age Of Forty, Saying Hardships
Are too Great - Urges Restoration
Of Army canteen.

Washington, Oct. lin his annual
report to the secretary Of war, Briga-

the department of the Columbia, ex-
presses decided views about the in
expedency Of retaining in the mill
tary service officers not of age, who
are unable to endure the hardships OF
the field service and inteligently d.
rect their troops. He would have none
over the age of 40 years, and he sug-
gests a rigid physical and mental
examination. A corrollary Of this
project is plan for the compulsory
retirement Of officers to insure the &C.
cession to high commands Of men
young enough for active field work.
General Williams also urges that
liberal treatment in the matter OF ex-
ponses of officers. He thinks they
should not be obliged to pay for the
heating and lighting of headquarters
and that they should be furnished
their amounts at the governments ex-
pense.
General Williams urges the restora-
ton of the army canteen, and says;
This is a most unusual and in
teresting question, for In 1t we find
the union Of the most antagonistic
elements in American society working
hand In hand against the best inter-
'ests of the soldier In the first place,
we have the great temperance socie-
ties whose general influence for good
and noble work cannot be Too highly

Maloney put his trust In proficiency.

always imputed aerial accidents to
aerial ignorance.

day, lis about as fit to run a flying
machine as the Ceciltown farmer who
crossed with Capt. Lampford was to
sail ship.
This farmer, the second day out,
began to dislike the motion. His ap-
petite disappeared, he had slight
headache, and he was pale and Ian,

"As he leaned over the rail discon-
solately, watching with slight shud-
der the rise and fall of the horizon,
Capt. Lampford appeared.
"Look here, Capt Lampford,' said
the farmer, you don't understand your
business
"The captain smiled. He was will

with me?'
