Men 10 Meet the
Demands.

The War Department has sent to
Congress a list Of officers absent from
their organizations on detached serv-
ice. This list footed up TO the large
total OF So June 80, 1907. Acting Secre-
tary Of War Oliver in a cOmmunica-
tion has called the attention OF Con
gress 10 the facts and is urging a bill
authorizing additional officers to meet
the needs Of the military service.
The subject is likely 10 receive a
great deal OF attention this session IN
the House and Senate. especially in the
Military Affairs Committees
General Oliver IN his communication
has included a memorandum from Gen.
j. Franklin Bell. chief Of stan OF the
army. 1t shows the number Of absent
officers is rapidly Increasing. It was
5l7 IN 1906 and the next year 627. Now
II has increased 10 $50, the highest
figure on record in a time OF peace

As head of the Appropriations Com
mittee last session, Representative
Tawney achieved a reputation for abili-
ty and 1irmness in watching over the
interests of the Treasury Department
and preventing too many fingers getting
into the revenue pie. He has a hard
problem before him this session, but II
he maintains his grip as we'll as he did
last session. IL will add greatly to his
prestige in the House
Speaker Cannon has a high opinion
of Tawney and trusts him thoroughly
At the same time. he places entire
confidence iE Jim" Sherman, and
showed this when he put the New York
man on the Rules Committee. 1t is nos
likely the Speaker will try to dictate
his successor. and If he did he would
have some trouble making a choice be-
tween Tawney, Sherman. and Watson.
