Orders are In course OF preparation in
the War department which will have the
effect of providing more field work for the
troops This is a subject in which Presi-
dent Roosevelt takes a keen interest. II
is his idea that the army should have much
more work under conditions of warfare
than has been the case hitherto and his
desire for that sort of employment extends
as we'll to the Navy and Marine corps. II
will be provided that the troops do more
marching, spend more time in the field,
live away from garrisons to greater ex-
tent than in the past II Is believed that
this will familiarize officers and men with
the method Of taking care Of themselves
in the field and on the march, especially
in bearing the burdens OF field equipment
and in the preparation OF food. 1t is pro-
posed to divide the training OF enlisted
men of the cavalry, infantry and field ar
tIIlery into two parts: one having TO do
with garrison life and the other work In
the field. The former will comprise close
order drills and such other exercises as
may be naturally and easily carried out in
the garrison. The field training will con-

The proposition favored by army chap
lains to build chapels at posts where there
are at present no places of worship meets
with favor in the War department, al
though it is possible that need of economy
in public expenditures of all sorts may OPP
crate to defeat the bill which has been in
troduced and which contemplates an APP
preparation OF 1900 for the erection and
repair Of chapels at army posts. The SUBJ
ject has been discussed this week in the
sessions of the general stan. and 1t APP
pears from the records that of the posts
where chaplains are on duty eleven have
chapels. twenty-five have none and ten
others have no suitable chapels; but the
necessity is not so urgent at these latter
stations, since there are rooms where SER
vices may be held or there is a nearby
town where the churches are available.
The chief of staff has expressed his APP
prevail Of the measure and has recon-
mended that the War department indorse
the project.

The army signal Office has received the
first portable switchboard for telephone
communication in the field This is OF the
portable type and different from anything
OF the sort to be found on the market Tho
device was designed by the army signal
officers and carries out the idea of COM
pactness. lightness in weight and PORTABLE
ity. 1t has the shape and dimensions OF a
box about two feet square enclosed in a
leather case with a strap which will permit
It's being carried on the back OF a man. II
is to be placed on a tripod and one end Of
the box Is let down so as to furnish a desk
shelf. The order placed for these switch
boards calls for twenty-five of them. and
General Greedy, after seeing the first Of the
devices. has authorized the purchase OF
twenty-five more. They are destined TO
prove of great convenience in the field.
The officers OF the troops which are to
leave for the Philippines on February /
have been advised not to take with them
their families This information coming
from the War department, to those most
particularly interested in this transfer of
additional troops to the islands, has created
the impression that these infantry and ar
tillery commands were really intended for
service in a military expedition to China.
II goes without saying that there may be
such a military expedition within the next
year or two; in fact no one can tell when
the situation in the celestial empire will de-
velop into such an acute stage as to Justify
the invasion OF the country by an interna-
tional armed body. There are many signs
TO Indicate that there will be serious trou-
BILE In China and. OF course. II is only pru-
dent that this government. along with 9TH
ers directly interested. shall have at hand
sufficiently well equipped force to be sent
into China, or, for that matter. wherever
else there may be occasion for such a
demonstration. There is no question more
over, that the assignment of additional
troops to the Philippines was for a good
and sufficient reason, and II may be that
those who have charge OF affairs In the far
east and who will be responsible for the
protection of American interests there, will
find II necessary to ask for still further
troops There are at present, OF course no
outward signs OF the special employment
OF a military body in China and the hint
sent out to the officers OF the troops now
destined for the Philippines is based on the
conditions in the islands rather than sug-
gested by any possible duty of an unusual
character upon which the American troops
will be engaged.
