News that Commander Peary was near

night caused general cessation Of bust
ness in the town. Large crowds swarmed
onto the streets and TO the water front
TO welcome the explorer. All manner of
water craft, from yachts to sailbOats,
sporting their cOlO-s, moved down the
bay when three blasts OF the whistle were
heard. which was the signal that the
Roosevelt was approaching. But the OBJ

When DIR. Cook returned TO Annatook

 The authorized strength of the army today is S4,500 men, exclusive of the hospital corps, which numbers $500 men. AS the terms of enlistment of the men expire, it is no easy matter to Induce desirable .men to re-enlist. It will not be a hard matter, there- fore, to reduce the size of the stand- ing army, in accordance with Presf- dent Tafts wishes. Ostensibly the cause for this reduction is the difi- culty of obtaining good men, but the real reason is one of economy.
 Every man reduced means saving of $l.Oo0 a year, and if the reduction proposed reaches 5000 men by July 1 next, the total annual saving will amount to $S.000.000 per year. Presi- dent Taft has been insistent on reduce tions.
 Necessary construction work of all kinds has been postponed and the &C., quisition of other needful equipments has been deferred.
