New Army Tent.
The War Department has authorized a
test with a new shelter tent to take the
place Of the device at present used by the
army and organized militia. The new tent
is composed Of sections. each to be car
ried by man as a part Of his personal
equipment in the field. 1t is so arranged
that any combination of these sections
may be made, and as many as eight men
can construct a tent in which they would
all be sheltered. Two men can with their
respective sections construct a shelter for
themselves. The new tent is SO designed
that 1t will be lighter than the present
tent and will not cost as much. In addi-

structed will be larger than the present
tents.

ARMY AND NAVY NEWS

for the return of deserters from the army.
the authorities Of the War Department
have decided to issue circular giving full
information on the subject for the special
benefit of police officers and others. AS a
reward of $50 is paid for the apprehension
of deserving soldier there Is naturally
much activity in the search for such Of
tenders and many mistakes are made, re-
sulting in considerable extra correspond
ence In a recent case claim was made
by a policeman for the reward for the
capture of a deserter who was really not
amenable to arrest for the reason that he
had disappeared five years previously and
his offense was outlawed: The policeman
had taken a great deal OF trouble to catch
the man and was much disappointed when
informed that he was not entitled to the
usual reward. In view Of the conflict
that frequently arises between the mill
tary and civil authorities In such cases 1t
is likely that the department will devise
some new arrangement for the reward Of
civilians who aid in the capture Of de-
serters.
No July Navy Register.
The publication Of the July number of
the Navy Register has been discontinued,
and In lieu thereof the department is pub
fishing a monthly Navy and Marine Corps
List and Directory. The small number
printed for the Navy Department pre-
cludes it's gratuitous distribution, but 1t
can be purchased monthly or subscribed

Animals for Army Us..
The War Department will probably go
into the market for a large quantity OF
new ambulances along with other wagons
required in the transportation Of supplies
for the military service in the field. There
has been much investigation Of the DIFF
ferent methods Of transportation. and
improvements have been made In all the
vehicles used by the army. New types Of
ambulance have been tested and the four
wheel vehicle which has been used for
that purpose for many years has been
materially improved. The old six-mule
army wagon has been abandoned as being
too cumbersome. It's place will be taken
by the four-mule team. There will con-
tinue to be dependence upon animals In
stead Of traction engines.
