NEED FOR MORE OFFICERS
IN THE ENGINEER CORPS
Gen. Bixby in His Annual Report
Calls Attention to the
Shortage.

Gen. Bixby, chief Of engineers, in his
Maj. Gen. Woods statement that the
United States Army is unprepared for
war with a first-class power. While his
observations deal exclusively with the
Engineer Corps, Gen. Bixby finds a sad
Jack of officers and men in that depart
ment and emphatically repeats the recvm-
mendations Of the previous two years that
an immediate increase be authorised. He
points out that, even in time of peace,
the duties Of the Engineer Corps are
steadily increasing, and he believes that
they will continue to increase. Besides
the great demand on the corps for nom
military work, he shows that there is q
great necessity for off1cers and men to
perform the strictly military duties Of the
corps.
1t is impossible, according to the report,
for the corps to devote the necessary and
proper attention to the detailed work re-
Quired OF it, and in many cases whole
engineer companies have been left In
charge of second lieutenants, just out OF
the Military Academy, for want Of cap
tains who could be assigned to their COM
mand. Gen. Bixby recommends that the
corps be increased by at least sixty OFF,
GERS and that corresponding increase
be made in the number Of men. He de-
clares that that number Of Of1cers Is alb
soiutely necessary, even in time of peace.
A bill carrying out his recommendation
is pending in Congress.

AMERICAN GIBRALTAR is
PLAN OF THE NAVY CHIEFS
Naval Constructor Caps to Consider
the Advantages Of Pearl
Harbor, Hawaii.

! Naval Constructor Washington l.. Capps
has started for the Philippines on mis-
4 sion regarded as of great Importance to
| the navy, under cover Of an order de-
| taching him from duty as the senior
member Of the boards on hull changes
of vessels building OH the Atlantic coast,
and directing him to proceed abroad on
special temporary duty.
| The constructor is going to make a
careful examination of the navy yard at
Cavite, in Mania harbor, and the naval
| station at Olongapo, on Sub.c bay. Part
Of the general scheme of naval devel
opment in the Pacific is to create an
American Gibraltar at Pearl Harbor, Ha-
wall, which involves the abandonment
| of the idea Of establishing a powerful
| naval base in the Philippines, and con-
yerting the station at Oiongapo into
| mere repair depot.
Plant Regarded as Necessary.
| There is not water enough at Cavite to
| enable heavy warships to approach the
navy yard there, and it is doubtful ii
Olongapo, can be rendered impresnabe
Still. in view Of the necessity of making
i more or less repairs to the American
fleet which must be maintained in the
o. leIt, some suitable pant must be main
tanned at a point nearer to Asia tnan
Hawaii. Hence the necessity for plac,.
ing the naval station at Olongapo in con-
dition to do that work. The report of
Constructor Caps will enable tie Navy
Department to fix the amount of the es-
innate of appropriation to be submitted
to Congress at the approaching SESSION.
Study of Construction.
When his work in the Philippines is
concluded the constructor will return to
the United States by way of Europe, TAX
ing advantage of the opportunity to make
thorough study of recent developments
in naval construction in the great navy
yards of the European maritime powers
incidentally, he Is also TO look into the
development of the aeroplane for naval
uses in Europe.

ton in honor of the completion of the

lishment of permanent exhibition here

DELAY IN ADMISSION OF
NAVAL ACADEMY CLASS
Date Changed From March to June,
1911, by Request of the
Superintendent

The admission of the new class at the
West Point Military Academy for 1911
Will be in June, instead of March, as un-
der the present regulations The exami-
nations for the next class will be January
1. The present arrangement by which the
cadets enter the academy in March has
not proved satisfactory, either to the Of
hcers or to the cadets.
The entrance of a new class SO near
the close of the year, when the cadets are
preparing for graduation, is said to have
created confusion and made il almost
impossible to give the attention TO the
new class that is demanded. 1t is de-
ciared that the ideal time to admit a
class TO the academy is just before the
cadets start on their annual encampment
Studies Then Suspended.
At that time academic studies are sus-
pended and the officers have a better on
poftunity 10 induct the new cadets into
military life. 1t Is regarded as especially
important that this Change be made nex,
year, when a double class will enter the
academy Is the result of legislation pass
ed at the last session.
The change is made at the REQUEST ot
Gen. Barry, the new superintendent of
the academy.

Across Continent Scene of Many
Desperate Conflicts.

Fort Davis, one of the historic army
posts Of the southwest, will pass out OF
government possession in a few days
The reservation upon which it is situated
is to be sold at public auction. That old
post was on the long and desolate over
land route from the Texas coast to Calf
fornia, and was the scene of many des.
perate struggles with Apaches and other
warning Indian tribes. Gen. Lawton won
his spurs there, and Gen. Shafter from his
tenacity on the trail got there the nick
name Of "Old Bulr' shafter, and had the
honor of having little Texas town. not
far away, named after him.
Post Partly Destroyed.
Another old post in the same part OF
Texas was Camp Verde. partly destro. Jed
by fire not long ago. In its time it had
served both the Federal and Confederate
governments, and had sheltered such
soldiers as Gen. Robert Es
Lee and Gen. Joseph E. Johnson. It also
was the scene Of the experiment of
using camels as beasts of burden in cross
ing the desert to the Pacific coast. A
was built for the care of the
and wells were dug and fitted
Egyptian fashion. The experiment proved
but its memory remained
for years.
