LEGISLATION FOR THE ARTILLERY.-Artil-

amentably failed OF attending 70 their interests at
the Capitol during the present session or congress-
Their bill has been pending from the time Congress

and a complete separation Of the coast and the
field branches Of that arm. The chief OF artillery

NAVAL INSTRUCTORS NEEDED.-There are
three vacancies in the place of instructor in the
various departments at the Naval Academy This
place carries with it salary of $500 a year and

suitable instructors who possess all the Qualifca-
tions necessary for the compensation provided bv
the government In selecting instructors care must
be exercised to obtain men not only Of learning,
but of ability assist in the management of about
one thousand young men who are living under

ARMY CHANCES FOR CIVILIANS-It seems
likely there will be some appointments from civil
life to the grade of second lieutenant of the army
this year. 1t is certain that there will be vacancies
remaining after the commissioning OF this years
graduates of the Military Academy in June. Under
the regulations the Secretary Of War may ap-
portion the vacancies among enlisted men VINO nave
passed the examination and civilians, of whom
there are rTany, who have filed applications One
Of the expectations in the War Department Is that
the vacancies will be equally divided between the
soldier candidates who are eligible and candidates
from civil lfe but. Of course, Secretary Taft has
not taken up this question yet and has no need to
reach a decision until next month The vacancies
to the credit Of enlisted and civilians will be
such created up to July l. 1t was expected
there would be no more appointments from civil
life, but under the arrangements that is mat
ter which rests with the Secretary Of War.
