GENERAL MILLS
ON ARTILLERY
Chief of That Department Makes
Some Suggestions.
CAPTAINS REQUIRED
Forty.Seyen Companies Have No One
to Command Them, and an In
crease of Both Officers and
Men Is Urged.

Washington. Nov. 16.-General Sam
uel NJ. Mills. chief of artillery, says
that the manning coast defenses of the
United States a force consisting of
1854 officers and 41,S33 enlisted men is
needed, while the corps has at present
only 5e5 officers and 1874 men. He
also estimates the installation of fire
control equipment for coast artillery
will be $1,000 600.
Following the advice contained In the
letter of President Roosevelt TO the Sec
rotary of war. dated March 10. 1905. in
which the president designated nine
specific subjects relative to organiza-
ton and training of the artillery arm
of the service. the annual report of
General Mills makes the following nine
recommendations:
Separation of coast and field artil-
lery; provision for submarine mine de-
Tense; increase coast artillery for gun
defense; proper organization of coast
artillery: adequate pay for skilled en-
listed men of artillery: increase of fed
artillery; proper organization of field
artillery and examination for promo
ton for artillery officers of all grades;
increased appropriations for target
practice by both branches of artillery.
General Mills says that of the 125
companies of coast artillery forty-seven
are without captains. He says it Is
important that the coast artillery COM
panies shall be commanded by cap
tains.
General Mills refers to the joint exer-
cises of the army and navy which were
held in Chesapeake bay last summer.
and says the value and interest were
greatly increased by reason of the
fact that they gave opportunity to test
methods of fire control and other sys-
TENS adopted by the coast artillery.
He recommends company organiza-
ton Of coast artillery be abolished and
present coast artillery be made to con-
sist of specified officers and enlisted
men. He also recommends the separa-
ton of field artillery from coast artil-
lery.

TIT FOR TAT.
Warrant Will Also Be Issued to Ares,
c. w. Barron.

Boston, Nov. 16.-The Issuance OF n
warrant for the arrest OF Thomas w
Lawson. in connection with a suit for
damages for criminal libel brought by
Clarence w. Barron OF Boston. was or
dered by Judge Wentworth OF the mu-
nicipal court. BY agreement Of counsel
however. the warrant will not be served
until Saturday next. when Mr. Lawson
will appear TO answer to the charge
against him. Meanwhile counsel for
Lawson states application will be made
by his client for the arrest OF Barron
also on charges OF criminal libel. The
allegations of Barron against Lawson
are based upon statements made in n
magazine article which appeared I'm
October under the name Of Mr.. Lawson
and in various typewriter tissue mar
ket sheets circulated by Mr.. Lawson.
The counter charge grows out OF al
legged l,belous matter against Lawson
which has appeared in the market slips
published by the bureau OF which Mr.
Barron is the head.

ANOTHER STRIKE.
All Workers Are Asked to Bring Abou,
General Tieup.

st. Petersburg. Nov. 16.-The prle
tariat OF st. Petersburg have sum-
moned another general political strike
beginning Wednesday at noon. This
action was decided upon late Tuesday
night by the workmen's strike commit
tee. which is now completely under the
domination OF the Social Revolution
fst., whose leaders openly proclaim that
the ultimate object is the complete
overthrow of monarchy and establish
ment OF a democratic republic. This
is also the real aim of the brothers of
the Social Democrats of Poland, but
the proclamation issued keeps this in
the background and apparently sup
ports popular sympathy for Polish au-
tonomy and indignation against appli-
cation of death sentence being imposed
on the CrOnstadt nlutineeys. The
PROCLAMATION says: THE imperial gov
eminent continues to walk over our
corpses II courtmartials the bold SOL
diers and sailors OF Cronstadt who rose
In defense of their rights and national
freedom. II encircles weak and OPP
pressed Poland with the iron ring OF
martial law"
The workmen's council calls on the
revolutionary proletariat of ST Peters
burg to renew the general political
strike. which has already demonstrated
its dread power. in order to show broth
erly solidarity. II says: Let workmen
at st. Petersburg cease work with
cries of Down with courtmartial
Down with the death penalty. Down
with martial law I'm Po,and and in all
Russia" The committee appealed to
strike committees throughout Russia to
go into the movement and also appeal
ed to railroad men with a view OF
bringing about another tieup.
One of the most potent arguments
used at the meeting was that in this
fight the workmen will have the eff
forts In behalf OF the lives of the mu-
tineers to increase sympathy felt for
the workmen's cause and help them
win over the army and navy to the
cause of freedom. Some delegates who
are having the great question of ma
tional economy uppermost in their
minds. namely. how to increase incomes
with diminished labor. protested that a
political strike would interfere with
the fight for the eight-hour day. but
they were rudely waived aside by the
majority. who claimed 1t will be time
enough to deal with economic ques-
tons when they are finished with au-
tocracy.
The strike commenced promptly on
the Baltic and Warsaw railways. and
II is announced that further lines will
fellow. Although workmen In many
big establishments beyond Moscow and
Narva gates and In Neva and vassili
Ostroff district promised TO obey the
strike leaders. those OF putiloff and
other factories declined to join the
strike.

Rev. Newell Dwight Hills, talking
to a congregation composed entirely
of preachers the other day. told them
not to be disappointed If their Sunday

He advocated the hiring of theatres

It is the old clerical Question--how
shall we get people out to church? The
reviews. secular and religious, are full

solve the problem by going out Of the
church themselves and attending the
people.
