COAST ARTILLERY PLANS
REORGANIZATION OF THAT ARM
PROPOSED BY GEN. MURRAY.
Secretary Taft Thought to Be Favor
able to Change, But Congress
Must Consent.

AS necessary step toward improving the
efficiency of the Coast Artillery service,
upon which the safety of the great seaport
cities of the country depends, Brig. Gen.
Murray, chief of artillery, has prepared and
submitted to Secretary Taft comprehen-
sive scheme for the reorganization Of that
arm of the military service along modern
lines. Particularly is it the case that with
the rapid increase in the Coast Artillery
forces. and the completion and manning of
new batteries and posts has come a press
ing need of division of the administrative
work.
Gen. Murray, with the sanction of the
senior officers of the corps, has recommend
ed that in addition to the present head
quarters at Washington, over which he pre-
sides, there should be created several divis-
ion or department headquarters, geograph-
lcally distributed along the seacoast of this
country, and including the insular posses
slons, where the great part of the military
business relating to the Coast Artillery can
be carried on without reference to Wash
ington, except in cases OF great Importance.
Raise in Rank for Some
Incident to this change would be the ele-
walton of the head of the Coast Artillery
to the rank of major general, and the plac-
ing OF artillery officers tC the rank of briga-
dfer general in command at the various d.
vision headquarters. AT present, with the
exception of Gen. Murray, there is not a
single bragadier general among the coast
artillery officers, entirely anomalous
state OF affairs and one repugnant to mod
ern methods of military organization. in
view of the size and Importance of this
branch of the service.
Secretary Taft. referred Gen. Murrays
project to Maj. Gen. Franklin Bell, chief
OF staff, to secure a report upon it from
that body, and as Gen. Bel is expected in
Washington day after tomorrow it Is be-
Ieved that this important subject will be
in condition to receive the attention of Sec
rotary Taft before ne leaves Washington for
his western trip next Sunday. OF course.
the considerable changes required to give
effect to this scheme can be made only by
authority of Congress, which it is hoped to
secure at the next session, If Secretary Taft
gives his approval.

some little time. In going to the house

pain somewhat modified and nature will
