those remaining have their chattels
packed ready for instant fight.
A deadly conflict is expected at any
moment. officers of the garrison and

themselves in the open.
BY degrees the whole fleet with it's
crews and auxiliary arsenal workmen
has come under grave suspicion Two
thirds of the best rifle regiment, the
backbone of the garrison is also re-
garded as likely to prove untrustworthy
in case of votal emergency.
One naval officer says If he were the
successor Of Admiral Chouknin, the
commandant here who was assas-

for instant authority to sink the Black
sea squadron in the harbor and dis
band crews as the only means of pre-

GIVE OUT
Trip Across the Country to Maneuver
Camps Shows That Troops Are
Not Well Fitted for
Ordeal
BY Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, July 23.-without
attracting much attention, probably be-
cause the movement is general and
covers such a wide extent of territory,
for the first time sirice the Civil War
almost the entire army of the United
States Is on the march.
Frequently large bodies of troops have
been moved in this way, and during the
Spanish war the entire army was
moved but in that case nearly all the
men were entrained.
In the present case they are mached
afoot and on horseback from the vari-
Gus posts and concentrating at the
seven big maneuver camps where the
regulars and the militiamen are to
train together.
Officers at headquarters are not sur
prised to learn that the men are suf-
fering some from the hardships of the
march, that many drop out from heat
and fatigue and that there has been
considerable damage to horsefesh. The
fact, as stated by Gen, Oliver, the act
ing secretary of war and himself Q
veteran. is that the men have become
soft" IN post life, and 1t is one of the
principal purposes of the marches tc
the joint encampments to discover the
weak spots and to season the soldiers
by approximating war conditions as
closely as possible.

ment to receive compensation in any
