An important aud even radical change
affecting both the army and navy ha.
been suggested by military officers. and
IA under consideration by Secretary Taft
II is what the coast artillery of the Uni.
ted States. which Is now branch of the
army, should be transferred to the con.
troll of the Navy Department, In sup.
port OF this proposition 1t is pointed out
that Congress by its legislation of last
year made separate organizations of the
coast and field artillery The latter
necessarily remains part of the mobile
army The coast artillery, on the other
hand, Ia just as necessarily anchoNd to
the various fortitications and posts that
1t defends. In time of war the coast
artillery would have to cooperate with
the navy in defense of ports, etc. 1t
uses naval wagons, such as submarine
and floating mines, and torpedoes, etc.
Under these circumstances It Is thought
that by establishing closer relations be.
tween the navy and the coast artillery
greater efficiency and better results
might be obtained. Secretary Taft has
not yet determined whether he will make
this recommendation in his next report
70 Congress, but Is giving the matter
careful thought.

Z Congressman Theodore II. Burton
chairman OF the House Rivers and Har
bors Committee and OF the new Inland
Waterways Commission, for the past
two or three weeks has been in Wash.
ington making plans for the work which
is expected to occupy his entire atten.
tion during the coming fall and winter.
In speaking of his contemplated resig-
nation from leadership of the Rivers and
4Harbors Committee, Mr.. Burton declares
that the craftsmanship Of this committee
has been no easy task, because OF the
fact that there has been in the past a
lack Of general understanding Of the
work Of the committee or the policy Of
the government, and he has expressed his
intention OF accepting several invitati'
ons for the delivery Of public lectures in
universities and elsewhere with view
to adding to the information Of the pub
lc on the subject. Mr.. Burton has no.
thing but praise for the National Riv.
ers & Harbors Congress for 1t was the
educational campaign conducted by this
organization that made possible the
passing Of the record. breaking river and
harbor bill at the last session. Before
the work Of the National Rivers a Har.
bors Congress the public regarded the
river and harbor organization bills as
"pork" measures, but the commercial i'm. u
portance Of the widespread and systema.
tic improvement of the nations water.
ways now is generally understood, and it |
is believed that an even greater appro.
priation will be used by the Sixtieth
Congress. This, however, will not come
without a concerted and unmistakably |
popular demand, and the National Rivera
4 Harbors Congress, therefore, through |
its secretary, Captain j. +. Ellison Of
Cincinatta, Is bending all his efforts to
the immediate recruiting Of q greater
membership. AT present It includes
commercial bodies and shippers in every
state in the Union, but will not be salts.
