truction, it is not believed a split
will result, but the attitude of the
extreme Radicals and Nationalists is
disquieting.
There are persistent rumors from
Dublin that the Government will be
defeated. William O'Brien in a pub
lished article declares that John Il.
Redmond, leader of the Nationalists,
is disguised to find that O'Brien's
views on the budget were right, and
has now decided to seize an earlier
opportunity than that which the bud
get affords of ending the govern
ment's existence.
There is a possibility that the
Cabinet on Monday may be defeated
by a combination of the Nationalist
and a section of the Radicals. The
idea of the Governments retaining
office by the help of the Gonserva-
tives is repugnant to all sections
among the Liberals.

TAFT'S NAVAL
REFORM PLAN

WASHINGTON Feb. 26.-Young
blood in command of the Navy was
the keynote of a special message
which President Taft today sent to
Congress urging legislation for i'm
proving the personnel of the fighting
force, and to remedy what the Presi-
dent termed "an abnormal condition,
the result of past legislation"
Under the existing system, officers
being trained now in command Of
battleships and armored cruisers
could not serve as flag officers. The
President Endorsed bill prepared by
Secretary Meyer which would pro-
mote officers to the grade of Rear-Ad-
miral at an average of "a to So years
and to Captain at the average of 46 or
AZ. These changes, the President
thinks, do not provide men young
enough for the duties, but he feels
they are decided improvement.
The President recommended a
change to create higher ranking flag
officers. The size of the fleet now
demands two grades above Rear-Ad-
miral it was said. In the Atlantic
fleet there should be an Admiral in
command. Vice Admiral for the Sec
ond squadron, and two Rear-Admirals
for the other two divisions.
The personnel should be based on
tonnage. With 100000 tons of ships
as now authorized, the ultimate per
sonnet would reach 5000 line officers
and midshipmen and $4,000 enlisted
men.
The President believes too many
officers reach the rank of senior Rear
Admiral and retire without adequate
return to the government. A sliding
scale of retirement pay according to
the years of service would be arrang
ed
Considerations of proper military
efficiency, as well as a due sense OF
national dignity and self-respect as
BETTING this great Nation, urge that
the existing situation shall cease,
said the President.
"The wisdom of Congress, urged
by the overwhelming voice of the PEG
pie of our country, has provided us

Further opium seizures on the Mon

up $500 worth, and the Mongolia IS
at the foot of the list.

VETERANS IN D|SC0RD
OVER M'ELR0Y DEFEAT.
''Corpora|' Tanner Admits
Having Worked Against
Washingtonian.

Most of the Department Of the Potomac
delegation to the national encampment,
G. A. R., at Atlantic City, last week have
returned from their trip after spending
two days scattered about. various cities
between Washington and the Jersey re-
sort. few are making longer visits. but
the greater part Of the 2sO veterans who
left here for the encampment returned
yesterday and last night.
Still wearing their blue uniforms and
red. white and blue badges. they trooped
off of the incoming trains yesterday,
met their families and prepared to settle
down to the humdrum existence made
possible by these piping times of peace
The camp fires were quenched for another
year. and the flow of wartime reminis-
cence confined to the hearing of their
comrades in the local department.
Bitterness in Ranks.
A good deal of bitterness is felt by
many of the delegation toward the mem
bers who failed to support Col. Nc
Elroys candidacy for commander-in-
chief of the Grand Army. But If those
who worked for Col. McElroy are dis
pleased with their comrades who refused
to support him. the latter are by no
means IN repentant or apologetic mood.
"Corporaf' James Tanner, who admits
that he has been working for more than
a year for. the election Of Col. John E.
Gilman of Boston, a warm personal
friend. was inclined TO scott at the state
ment that criticism of Col. McElroy was
for Col Gilman's election.
Beaten When He Entered.
I'VE had him licked horse font and
dragons. before he entered the field"
said Mr. Tanner with considerable en-
phasis. Those stories had nothing to do
with the matter AS far as 1 can see. the
can best be summed up with the
statement that McElroy didn't have votes
to be elected and Gilman did.
Some one had to be beaten and 1t hap
pened to be his fate
Mr.. Tanner disclaimed any part in put
ting the alleged slanderous stories about
Col. McElroy in circulation.
