From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, July 20
REPORTS ON MANGUvREs--rhe War De-
partment will take up the reports which are
beginning TO from the army officers who have
been duty at the Joint army and militia nlanoeu-
vres with special reference TO the acquisition of the
present camp sites permanent places for n1Anceu-
There Is difference Of military opinion
concerning the wisdom of purchasing any Of these
sites. 1t is difncuIt to get sites which alto
sether satisfactory. Vhd none of the camps occu-
pied this year fully answers the purpose-not even
Pine Plains.
General Grant has made a report to the War
Department in regard to that place. has fully
described its advantages and its disadvantages It
Is understood that he is inclined favor the pur
chase Of the land, largely for the reason that IL
would be difncult to get anything better suited TO
the military needs II might be more beneficial to
have the exercises IN different places each year
every two years. as the case may be, but mas
much as at nearly every manRuvre camp the ofn-
GERS and men are new to the country and the sur
roundings there is nothing to be gained from hay-
ing camp whenever manoeuvres held
II has been suggested that IL there were perma-
nent camps the tendency would be to prepare them
and finally establish city conveniences instead OF
conducive to the process of hardening the soldiers
TO the rtgors of life out of doors But IT seems
likely that the sentiment of the General STAFF
perts and students to have the government COM
nitted the acquisition Of the land will prevail.
1t is likely therefore. that steps vii be taken
offered to the military authorities this year.
