The comments Of all the bureaus
have been submitted to the chief OF
chiefs on the new infantry equipment
stan of the army and referred to the
special board which will take up the
, reports In connection with final rec.
ommendation as to the adoption OF
the various articles proposed by the
board of which Colonel Henry A.
Greene. 10th Infantry. was president
and which was in session for year
or more at Rock Island in very
successful effort TO reduce the bur.
den of the Infantry man. The most
extensive comment made on the In.
fantry equipment is that of the quar-.
termaster general. The equipment as
whole meets with approval. In
some instances, II is matter of de
ferred adoption of certain articles to
replace material which Is now In
stock and which, is maintained, should
be exhausted before new supplies are
purchased. This economical phase OF
the proposed changes in the infantry
equipment was fully anticipated by
the board which considered this ques.
ton and II has never been suggested
that material on hand In any large
quantity should be abandoned for the
new and improved articles. but ulti.
mately II is believed that practically
all of the details of the infantry
equipment will be permanently install.
ed. OF course that Is a matter which
will be finally determined by the re.
suits of the practical test of the
equipment in the field by the infantry,
at the various summer maneuver
camps this year.
Military Force In Hawaii.
Considerable interest has been
manifested In Washington by the
statement attributed to the secretary
of war In his remarks at public
banquet in Honolulu on July ith when
he announced that the government
entertained ambitious plans for the
extending of the defenses of Homo
lulu and contemplated n considerable
increase In the military force In the
Islands This subject has been under
consideration in the general stan, but
the increase of the troops In Hawaii
Is for the present out OF the question.
The eight troops of the 9Th Cavalry
the one battalion of the goth Infantry,
the two companies Of coast artillery.
and the company of engineers consti.
tute the force which Is likely to rep
resent the numerical strength of the
Army In he Hawaiian Islands. The
force cannot be increased unless there
Is reduction of the military body in
the Philippine Islands and there does
not seem to be any likelihood OF this
