Fort Sill, Okla, March 14.-Fort
sin will undoubtedly get some OF the
money appropriated by the recent
congress Tor the enlargement OF posts,
but 1t is doubtful II she gets as much
as Secretary Taft calculated when he
made his recommendation to the com.
mittee. The secretary asked for 81.
GAL ,625, and got only sS41,625, which
is to be distributed among Forts Riley,
Leavenworth and Sill This accounts
for Fort Sill's portion being trimmed
down to s225,0O0, and even i!is
amount may not be available.
lnasmuch. however, as Secretly
Taft has ordered Brigadier General
Bell to come here in June to MAKE
preliminary plans for the brigade post,
there is a possibility that the secretary
may have decided to center his plans
on Fort Sill TO the exclusion OF some
plans formulated for the Kansas posts.
This is merely surmise of course, but
few weeks will tell how near it
comes to being correct.
Secretary Taft has played brilliant
hand in the organization of the light
field artillery of the United States ar
my. He has separated this division of
the troops from the coast artillery, or
ganized it into regiments, and placed
those regiments into mactlce with
the new rapid firing guns adopted. To
take care Of the artillery at inland
posts is the biggest thing in the secre.
tary's multitude Of plans.
Various military authorities have
inspected the Fort Sill military reser.
vation and recommended It as the most
desirable in the country for proatice
and manuevers of the artillery regi-
ments. Size of the reservation, eli
mate, water, camping facilities, etc.
