Low Pay and Requirement of HARD
Practice Marches Are Main
Points of Attack.

The War and Navy Departments are
trying to reach an agreement by which
the marines are to be withdrawn from
the Isthmus of Panama and two regi |
ments OF infantry are to be sent to take
their places as guards. 1t Is fully ex
pected that before long two regiments
or foot will be on their way to the
canal zone. This diverting OF army
regulars to a new field will mean that
the forces In the United States are to
be depleted beyond that which officers
believe to be the danger point.
The infantry problem Is one Of the
most serious factors in the greater
problem Of the army's weakness. On
paper we are supposed to have 10000
infantrymen, but In truth we have 10th

Increase of pay bill pass Congress, 1t Is
perfectly evident that the ranks will
be thinned still further. An army Off
Ger who knows conditions tells Wash
ington correspondent that in case Of
emergency there would be less than
1000 infantrymen who could be brought
with anything like dispatch to any
threatened point within the limits OF
the United States proper.
There are two chief army measures
now before Congress, one dealing with
the matter OF the increase of pay and
the other dealing with the matter of
the increase of the infantry. A CORE

ASKS FOR
MORE TIME

A delegation of members of the
Union Park Commercial club call
ed on Chief Rice this morning re-
lative to his recent order that If
social clubs continue to sell liquor
to members they must take out a
retail liquor license. The delega-
ton asked for further time in
which to consider the matter. They
said they possibly will abolish the
liquor in preference to paying the
$1,000 license demanded.
The chief has heard nothing
further from the Spokane club,
which he sent the same order. but
will give them few more days in
which to comply. Then If it don't,
the manager will be arrested and
prosecuted on a charge of selling
liquor without license.
