TELEPHONE FOR SHIPS.

Many vessels on the Great Lakes
are being equipped with wireless sub
marine telephone apparatus, by which
danger signals can be received in time
of storm or fog, says Cleveland (O9
dispatch to the washington Post.
At all shoals and other danger
points the government maintains
lightships, or buoys, equipped with big
bells, which are automatically rung
during thick weather. It frequently
occurs. however, that during storms
and fogs these warning signals are
not heard, and, as a result, vessels go
ashore.
BY means of the submarine teie-
phone equipment, these warning bells
can be heard through a telephone re-
ceiver placed in the ships pilot-house
several miles away. Transmitters are
placed on the lightships or buoys, ana
the water conveys the sound to the re-
ceiver on board the vessels.
Tt is probable that within a short
time practically ali vessels on the
lakes will be equipped with the APP
paratuS.

PROMOTION in ARMY.
Above the Rank of Major It Should Be
Nv Selection.

Among the officers there should be
severe examinations to weed out the
unfit up to the grade of major. From
that position on appointments should
be solely by selection. and it should be
understood that man of merely aver-
age capacity could never get beyond
the position of major, while every man
who serves i'll any grade a certain
length Of time prior to promotion to
the next grade without getting the pro
motion to the next grade should be
forthwith retired. The practice marches
three years have been invaluable to the
army. They should be continued and
extended. A rigid and not Il perfume
tory examination of physical capacity
has been provided for the higher grade
officers. This will work we'll. Unless
he can stand hardship. ride well and
walk fairly, he is not fit for any posi-
ton even after he has become colo
mel. Before he has become colonel
the need for physical fitness in the Of
f1cer is almost as great as in the en-
listed man. l hope speedily to see in
troduced into the army a far more rigid
and thoroughgoing test of horseman-
ship for all field officers than at pres
ent. There should be chief Of cav
airy just as there is chief of artillery.
Perhaps the most important Of all
legislation needed for the benefit of the
army is law to equalize and increase
the pay of officers and enlisted men of
the army, navy. marine corps and reye-
nue. cutter service. Such a bill has
been prepared. which it is hoped will
meet with your favorable considera-
ton. The next most essential measure
is to authorize a number of extra Of
fcers as mentioned above. To make
the army more attractive to enlisted
men It Is absolutely essential to create
service cor..a, such as exists in near
