A material reduction has been effected
during the last fiscal year in the number of
assertions from the military establishment.
1t is not possible to announce the exact pro-
portion Of deserters, but the forthcoming
annual report of the adjutant general of
the army will have some important infor-
nation of gratifying character on that
subject. This is sufficient answer to such
an article as forms the leading contribution
to the Cosmopolitan Magazine for Septem-
Der, entitled The Shame of Our Army"
The author is Bailey Willard, and he I'M
dertakes to show why $1,000 enlisted
American soldiers have deserted" being the
total number OF such culprits in the last
twelve years. The article is copiously
illustrated by reproductions of photographs
which intend to show why the enlisted man
is dissatisfied and why he is impelled to
desert and why, moreover he ought to de-
sert. 1t appears that the soldier is over
worked at tasks which are not congenial;
that reward of $50 is offered for appre-
hension OF deserters; that upon enlistment
he is photographed and a finge rprint record
is taken. The measures taken to prevent de-
sertion, according to the article, are the
causes OF desertion. On the contrary, the
system which now prevails has been work.
ing long enough to show It's effect and the
decrease in desertion during the last fiscal
year has been at quite an unprecedented
rate. The official statistics on the subject
will make, this matter ridiculous. 1t is, for
that matter, the sort of screed which gives
aid and comfort to the wrongdoer and will
be commended only in that direction. 1t rs
misleading to people outside of the service
and to that extent deserves notice.

Work is progressing on the new edition
OF the infantry drill regulations with the
prospect that the volume, which is to take
the place Of the edition of 1904 will be pub
lished in tentative form some time during
the present year. 1t is likely that some
twenty-five or thirty copies will be issued
at first and distributed to various organ
izatiOns with a view to trying out the
new features and ascertaining whether any
changes and notifications are advisable.
The military authorities believe that this
course will insure drill regulations which
are satisfactory in all respects and which
adequately meet the needs of the SER
vice. 1t is believed that to this practical
trial Of the regulations 1t will be adyan-
tageous TO devote six months or even a
year rather than resort to undue haste in
the final adoption Of the new system. The
new drill regulations have been the sub
ject of very careful consideration in the
general staff, where Colonel j. w. Duncan,
Sixth infantry, has been in charge OF the
work with the assistance Of Major Clar-
ence E. Dentler, Twenty-third infantry
now on duty at the headquarters OF the
Department OF Texas, and Captain William
s. Graves Twentieth infantry, who is on
duty in the office of the chief of staff.

The prospects have never been so favor
able as they are now for a material in
crease in the personnel of che army medl-
cal corps. The examination of candidates
recently conducted has produced twenty.
seven qualified candidates who had been
commissioned as first lieutenants in the
army medical reserve corps. The War de-
partment authorized 1872 candidates to APP
pear before the examining boards; of these
l02 reported for examination; twenty-four
were rejected for physical reasons seventy
eight commenced the mental examination,
two withdrew, leaving seventy-six to COM
plete the examination and of this number
twenty-seven have been accepted. The
names of twenty-six were published in the
Army and Navy Register Of last week.
The additional candidate who has qualified
is DR.. Lloyd A. Kefauver OF Mddletown,
Md. He was examined on the Isthmus OF
Panama, where he has been on duty for
two years. Another examination will take
| place on September 6, and there are al
present twenty-five approved candidates
with the probability that there will be
others They will be examined before the

The recommendations OF the board on
an equipment for the infantry arm are
still before the chief Of staff OF the army,
so far as relates to certain articles or ap.
parel 1t is desired to hear from the
cavalry equipment board now in session
in Rock Island before there is final ac-
ton. The items which are still being con-
sdered include the hat, short overcoat,
poncho, shelter half and sweater. It is
appreciated that there are advantages in
the way of economy IN having the in
fantry and cavalry possess uniform equip
ment in articles that pertain identically to
the two branches. 1t is possible, OF course,
that the cavalry equipment board will pre-
fer the slicker to the infantry poncho but
1t is likely there will be agreement upon
the shelter half. There is likely to be con-
siderable difference OF opinion between the
infantry and cavalry concerning the leggin
but on this subject too, It will be desirable
to have agreement upon some type

White RAINtBoW A RARITY

What Is known as white rainbow is an ex-
remely rare phenomenon. It was observed at
the Montouris observatory at Paris by NJ Louis
Besson 1t was an almost colorless bow and was
seen at 2:1O p. m, dying out and then reappear-
Ing at 3:15, reaching maximum brightness at
1915, then disappearing five minutes later The
bow had about three degrees width and was not
pure White, but somewhat tnged with rose
color at the outer edge and violet at the inner
The angular height of the summit was 40 degrees
minutes on the average There have been often
observed in the mountains of the polar regions
white bows upon fogs clouds composed OF
liquid drops.
The explanation of this phenomenon, known
as the "Ulloa circle" was given by Mascart It is
only special case of the general theory of the
rainbow as given by Airy which allows of SUD-
posing mixture of the colors so as to approach
white, at the same time widening of the arc
and dimnution of the radius, when the diam
eter of the drops becomes smaller and comes
near to Al u.-Scientifc American
