What They Consider Fatal De- =.
fects in System.

Washington, Sept. 13.-If fearless
criticism is calculated to benefit the
army, then Uncle Sans soldiers
should profit much from the comment
upon their condition and abilities con-
tained,in the annual report of Inspector
General Darlington, just made public.
One inspector points out a whole
battalion of artillery started for Phillip
pine service without a single field Of
ficer and one of the batteries command
ed by a second lieutenant of less than
two years. service.
In one department nearly a third of
the line officers were absent from duty
with their commands under detail, and
altogether the situation, according to
the inspector general, warrants the
prediction of results of a disastrous
nature, sooner or later.
Would Specialize In Army.
The time for specialization in the
army has arrived, in the opinion of
another inspector. He uses the sig
nal corps as an illustration. urging
that only the small percentage of men
in the line who show ability in that
direction should be taught signalling.
People who think the United States
army stands at the top of the profess
sion would be rudely Jared to learn
from Inspector General Bell that the
field army is wholly unprepared for
field service. Our transportation, he
says, is the same as at the beginning
of the civil war, for our army has so
far failed TO make use of automobiles,
traction engines, and other modern
appliances in the field. The weakness
es could be quickly developed if the
present annual maneuvers could be re-
placed at least once by the march of
a complete army corps, he says.
Wood to Remedy Conditions.
Major Bell says: while our in
fantry is composed of the best ma
terial in the world and is probably as
well, if not better, trained in the use
of the rifle than that of any other
army. its marching capacity Is below
mediocrity, and yet it is admitted to-
day that the fate of the battles of the
future depends, as it has in the past,
upon the marching capacity of the in
fantry."
To remedy these conditions Major
General Wood, chief Of staff, has is
sued orders which will change mater
tally the training of the army. All in
spectors general will be required to
submit the troops to an annual in
spection in the field.

Pretty Easter Custom.

In my country" says Mexican
matron, Easter is the, season when
one sends flowers to every friend and
neighbor and to all the strangers with
in the gates. A guest at hotel may
find his or her room submerged in
flowers on Easter morning. 1t is our
way of washing them welcome and an
swers to the Merry Christmas which
it is so delightful to hear in Northern
countries. We are also beginning to
send Easter eggs to children, but this
is the result of following the Customs
of the United States and Europe. Some
of the Mexican natives resent any in
trusion on making Easter anything but
what we most prize, the feast of flow

Egg Crab.

Amy number of pleasant games for
a children's party can be played with
the little candy eggs which are sold
everywhere at Eastertime. AS the
eggs themselves make a good prize
after the frolic is over, I would sug-
gest buying these at a first-elass can
dy store where the sweets will be sure
to be pure and not harmful.
First of all, have the children guess
how many eggs are contained in the
large papier mache box shaped like
an egg. Chalk up each child's guess
on the blackboard opposite his or her
name.
Give pretty basket holding a hand
full of the eggs to the girl or boy who
guesses the number most correctly.
For another round pour the rest OF
the eggs in a bowl and let each child
in turn approach the table. Using the
left hand he or she must then try to
scoop up as many eggs as possible on
the back of the palm. Each PERSONS
catch" is written down as before and
the candy eggs awarded as prizes.
