Appropriation of $35, ZOO, 900 Rec
commended for Coast Defensive
Works-Stanton Statue.


Secretary Taft is a strong advocate, of
increased pay for the army, and his an
nual report, sent to Congress today. COM
pletely dispels any doubt that may exist
as to the Secretary's position in that mat
ter. The report, indeed, begins with a
formidable presentment of figures show
ing the rapid decrease in the strength of
the regular. army in recent years lin the
last year being no less than 4,42S mem,
and of the pressing need for officers to
replace those now detailed away from
their companies on recruiting duty or as
military instructors in educational insti-
tutions. The Secretary declares that while
many reasons have been advanced to ex-
plain the difficulty. he thinks a suffi-
cient reason is to be found in the made
quacy of army pay, and he says: II think
it quite probable that an increase in the
pay of the enlisted men, including con-
siderable additional Involvement for men
to re-enlist, and such reasonable increase
in the pay of non-commissioned officers
as would stimulate men to remain in the
service and to qualify themselves for
these higher positions. would have a mark
eddy beneficial effect upon the recruitment
of no rp1y

Favors the Navy System.

So the Secretary earnestly favors the
adoption for the army of the navy system,
under which the President is authorized
to fix the rates of pay within defined linz
its as means Of obtaining a better disci-
pline and higher efficiency. He also
recommends the creation of general
service corps to relieve the soldiers of
the vast amount of unmilitary work they
are now called upon to perform. In his
opinion the military service should be so
attractive and desirable that it W. not
be difficult to get and hold the class of
men needed for the enlisted personnel,
and to make army service a life work. as
it used to be, by offering rewards for pro-
ficiency and greater increase of pay for
length of service.
The regular army last year lost 1870
officers and 26,31O enlisted men, and, al
though it was year of peace, fourteen
of the officers and 35S of the men were
killed in action or died of Wounds and
disease.
The Secretary has decided to create
one of the new regimental posts at
Baguio. in the Philippines. and he asks
for an appropriation for the purpose. He
also urges an enlargement of Fort Nc
Kinley reservation near Manila by 5000
acres at cost of $1S5.0OO and that pro-
vision be made for an electric railroad
from Camp Overton, on the north shore
of Mindanao. to Camp Keithley, on Lake
Lanao. in the center of the Moro coun-
try. He compares Baguio to the Adron-
dacks in atmosphere and climate and
says that nothing could be of greater aid
to the army than a post at that point.

Needs of Medical Department.

A profound conviction of the impor-
lance of the subject leads the Secretary
to earnestly adjure Congress to give at
tention to the pressing needs of the
medical department. which. he says, it
has overlooked. notwithstanding atten-
ton has been repeatedly called to it. The
Secretary says:
1.-The failure to make proper and ade-
quate provision for caring for the health
and comfort for the volunteer forces in
time Of war-and this can only be done
by creating a sufficiently large body of
competent surgeons with military knowl-
edge and training-not only neediessly
prolongs the struggle and involves the
country in expenditures of money far in
excess of the actual cost of making
proper provision in advance. but, most
deplorable of all, brings anxiety and sor-
row to households all over the land and
condemns many a promising youth to
unnecessary suffering and possibly to a
premature grave
