FIELD ARTILLERY
AT FORT DUPONT
Possibility That 1t May Be
Transformed Into a Post For
That Branch Of Service

Fort DUPONT may become a post for
training Of field artillery OF the United
States Army, in addition to the coast
defense post it now is. The last Legis-
lature sanctioned the purchase by the
Federal Government of 300 acres Of
land for military purposes in this state.
The government has not signifed what
land it Will buy, buI it is said that
Fort duPonts area may be extended.
Incidental to The separation of the
field and coast artillery. according to
an act of the last Congress, the press
ing need has developed of ample and
spacious posts in the eastern part Of
the United States for the assembling
and training of the field artillery,
which the experience of the Russo
Japanese and Boer wars has demon
strated to be the very backbone of the
army.
This arm Of the service must be
greatly increased and strengthened
and brought to the highest efficiency
if the American army is to keen step
with the armies not only of Europe.
but Of the Orient as we'll To meet
the necessity of ample reservations for
mastering and drilling these forces
Secretary Taft Will strongly urge upon
Congress at it's next session the ur-
gency of procuring the necessary
lands
There are already some excellent ar
tillery posts in the Middle West. nota-
bly, at Fort sill and Fort Riley, bu'
none east of the Mississippi river. This
is a most serious omission, in view o.
the general staff. which feels that posts
should be established in the East. re-
'gardless of the fact that land is mucl
more expensive here than on the west
ern prairies.
One point that is urged as reason
for this recommendation is that ~
these days of quick military action
when war Drecedes the formal declar1
tion, an emergency force Of field artu
lery should always be maintained clos'
to the seaboard, where it may be speed
lily placed aboard transports.
Another reason is that at least Z
month must elaose before artiller

another can be acclimatcd. so that j

The population of the county ap-
