ARTILLERY NEEDS MEN
ARGUMENT OF COL. HARRISON
BEFORE HOUSE COMMITTEE.

Following the strong Endorsement by Sec
rotary Taft of the bill providing for the
increase of the artillery arm, Lieutenant
Colonel Harrison, acting, chief of artillery,
has appeared personally before the House
committee on military affairs and made
argument to demonstrate the necessity for
the enactment of the measure at the pres
ent session of Congress.
Colonel Harrison stated that the con-
ditions of the coast artillery were approach
ing crisis. To provide one complete shift
for the armament installed or authorized
AZ 900 men were required. The number
now available is about 11,o0o and an addi-
ton of $500 men is asked for. Since the
introduction of steam and electricity for
the operation of complicated machinery
and high-power guns the only change that
has been made in the organization of
coast artillery as provided for the old
smooth-bore armament is the addition of
125 poorly paid electricians. While every
seacoast fort has actually in operation
steam and oil engines, power houses, etc,
there is not a single engineer or fireman
provided for.
The coast artillery today requires certain
enlisted men to perform high-class techni-
cal work, but they get no extra pay, ex-
cept that of q gunner, 81 month, which
Is one-fourth that now authorized by law
as extra pay for enlisted men employed
at posts as teamsters.
1t takes three years 10 train these spe-
cial men. and what they learn is of imme-
date commercial value. They can go into
civil life and double their pay. The re-
suit Is, with each man trying to do four
mems jobs and getting half a mans pay,
no one will re-enlist. The shortage in the
coast artillery is now from twenty-five to
forty men per company. and is getting
worse every day, while the other arms of
the service are practically full. The only
remedies are less work and more pay.
That is the object of the bill.
Conditions for the officers are about as
bad, but no increase of pay is asked for
them, only more officers to do the work.
A general increase of pay for the men
is not asked for, but only a small increase
in few grades, the total cost being $685.
600 year.
The necessity for the organization of
field artillery into regiments was also
pointed out, based upon experiences of the
recent Japanese-R Russian war.

SUDDEN DEATH.
William r. Waters Victim of Heart

William r. Waters, fifty-eight years of
age, resident of Congress Heights,

Waters had been sufferer from heart
trouble and had been under the care Of
DR.. j. A. Watson of Anacostia. After re-
turning home last night from the navy
yard, where he was employed, he felt in

bcrs sent for the patrol wagon. When the
wagon reached the office of DIR. Watson the
physician made examination and dis
covered that Mr.. Waters was dead. The
police took the remains to the Anacostia
station and notified the coroner
AS death had resulted from natural causes

of the body to the late home of the de-
