Urges Changes in Methods.

WASHINGTON, December MANY
changes in the military establishment
are suggested today by Secretary of
War Dickinson in his annual report.
He recommends:
A change in the Roosevelt physical
tests so as to require of officers. IN ad-
dition to the annual, weekly riding
or walking test.
The division of the United States
into territorial and tactical districts 81
that the organized militia of the States
may be conveniently combined with the
Regular Army stationed therein into
permanent hrigades, divisions and
corps for instruction and tactical or
ganizatiou.
The location of troops in or near
the principal cities. instead of distrib-
nting them at remote forts, to meet
the three requirements of economy,
possibility of rapid movement and the
training of the militia.
More officers for the Army and pro-
motion on the merit system.
Liberal appropriations for the com
pletion of fertilization projects Of the
Philippines, Honolulu and Pearl Har.
Dor.
Encouragement of rife practise
among citizens and schoolboys.
The establishment Of a national park
at Niagara Falls to preserve its scenic
features.

Proposed Littoral Defense Corps.

Considerable interest is taken in mil
itary circles in a proposition advanced
by coast artillery officers for the es-
Enlistment of a littoral defense corps.
The plan involves the separation of the
Coast Artillery Corps from the Army
proper and combining it with the Unit
ed States Marine Corps into what is
described as the littoral defense corps,
to be commanded by an officer of the
rank of major-general. The corps is to
be divided into three territorial dis
tricts, each commanded by brigadier-
general. Bitter opposition to the plan
is made by other arms of the service,
principally the infantry. Generally it
is maintained that the separation of
the coast artillery would deprive the
Army of an important element of it's
strength and would seriously cripple
it in its operations in the event Of a
war, 1t is represented, however. that
the Navy proper would offer no seri-
Gus objection to the transfer of the
marines to the land forces.
These questions have been consider
ed by the officers of the general staff
and may be presented to the secretary
of war for his consideration, IT is
probable that the plan for the organ
ization of littoral defense corps NAV
be considered in some of the military
reports submitted to congress.

furnished by the government. An of

Politeness in the Army.

All sorts of suggestions for the anne
Iteration Of the condition of the enlist
ed men are contained in reports re-
ceived at the war department. One of
the most interesting of these is that
made by Maj. c. G. Morton of the in
encouragement s department. It is. in
effect, an appeal for better manners on
the part of the officers in their deal
ings with enlisted men, Major Morton
SAYS that the use of profanity and the
''bawling out' of orders are more
common in the Army than is realized,
and are a ltfolifie cause of discomfort
among the men. It was his experience
that the fault complained of was more
common among the non-eommissioned
and Junior officers than among those of
maturer years. His suggestion is that
whenever and wherever the fault oc-
ours it should be checked by superiors
as something as important to the regu-
lars as the supervision of mess and
clothing.
Much is done by the war depart
ment to make the soldiers life as
agreeable as possible, consistent with
its character. Places and forms of en-
tertainment are provided, and his sur
roundings are made as attractive as
possible, in order to make him content
ed and willing to remain in the SER
vice. But Major Morton points out
that inconsiderate or harsh treatment
causes more discomfort in the ranks
than almost anything else, fact, he
says, that appears to have been gener-
ally overlooked by some of those in
command.

recommended the approval of the con-
tract. But up to this time 1t has not

Mr.. McHarg is reported to have nego-
tiated the contract when he visited

When asked about the matter Mr.
McHarg said: go to the interior de-

The matter win have to be passed

whom Mr.. McHarg has been very
Jealous in the Ballinger- Pinchot con-
troversy.
Regardless Of the merits of the con-
tract, ii will be a very delicate ques-
tfon for Secretary Ballinger to pass
upon as 1t is expected he will have to
do as soon as McIIs-g retires from
office. The contract is supposed to
be waiting for his retirement from
office for he could hardly press 1t for
approval with good. grace while an
