NEAFENING was the roar OF machinery.
In that thunderous din of whrring wheels,
- gathering LOOMS and throbbng shuttles
no voice could be heard
In that busy scene were many girls. with white
faces, srainng eyes, and thin white hands. Closed
and poorly ventilated the room reeked with heat
and bad odors Breathing was difficult; faces
streamed with perspiration. The scene was COM
mon one-of factory girls at work.
Visitors were allowed in the factory frequently
by the superintendent, so the girls paid little at
tention to an attractive-ooking, neatly dressed
young woman who passed along. looking with
sympathy upon the weary, bending figures.
The visitor was dressed in brown Her hair,
her eyes were brown. She was not handsome
merely attractive These facts the girls recalled
some weeks later For to the visit Of the young
woman were ascribed changes that took place
of the adoption Of proper system of ventilation
Of careful heating Of the factory to the right
temperature, the opening Of a rest room, with
-rockers and settees and other Improvements.
None other was the woman in brown than the
daughter OF ]. Pierpont Morgan, and one of the
richest heiresses in the country.

LACKS REGIMENTS
FOR DUTY IN CANAL ZONE
Only About 1000 Infantry Can Be Quickly Assembled
in United States-Good Recruits Scarce and
Old Men viii Not Re-enlist

Army officers are expressing grave
concern over the great depletion OF the
Infantry force In the United States.
They have been Led to emphasize this
concern. because ohicials OF the War
and Navy Departments are trying TO
reach an agreement for the withdrawal
of the marines from the isthmus OF
Panama and replacing them with two
regiments of infantry
TIE army IS willing and anxious to
perform the service, but there is ma
other side to II. To remove two regi-
ments OF infantry from the United
States would reduce the infantry force
to a degree army officers consider dan
gerous.
on paper the United States has an in
faHtry force of 5000 men, but these are
so scattered for service in the insuIar
possessions, Alaska, and Cuba, as TO
leave hut few infantry for actual duty
in This country. If the two regiments
go On the proposed expedition TO Pan
anna there will be left less than 1000 in
fantry who could be brought together
with dispatch 10 any threatened point
in the United States. As the infantry
must in every sense be regarded as the
backbone Of the military force, this
meagerness Of infantry troops is nat
urally looked on by the War Depart
ment officers with apprehension.
Old Men Refuse to Re-enlist.
The situation has again called atten-
ton to the remarkable tendency of the
army TO dwindIe. Men suitable for ser
vice are hard to get and harder 10 re-
tain. Dcsertions are numerous. but
what is probably even more serious. old
men whose terms have expired refuse
TO rc-eulist. The result is that COM
panies and other organizations are ia
many cases the merest skeletons. Al
some posts the situation is so bad that
all the men in a battalion have % be
assembled 10 set "a full company to-
sether for drill purposes.
Owing 10 the depletion Of the ranks.
