year or year and a half ahead OF
the time when the care Of the canal
property was to be turned over TO
the military arm of the United States
is due to the reports that have been
coming to the State Department. The
most definite report is that President
Arozomena will not call an election
to name his successor, as provided for
by the constitution. The anti-Arozo-
mena faction will first appeal to the
United States to compel Observance
of the constitution. Failing in that,
threats have been made to blow up
the canal works and thus force inter-
vention and the ousting of the Arozo-
mena faction.
older officers to Recruit.
WASHINGTON, September THE
general staff is dissatisfied with the
recruiting done by Adjutant General
Ainsworth's corps. 1t is asserted that
through the methods now in vogue
the army is not able to have more
than fifty men in a company in the
Philippines. As a rule, the adjutant
general has sent young officers on re-
cruiting service. The general staff
officers believe that should older Off
GERS be placed in charge of the five
recruiting depots to which the recruit
ing officers in various parts of the
country make reports better results
would come about. Therefore it is
planned to put one colonel in charge
of each of the five depots, one OF
which is Fort Mcdowell, on Angel
island. How soon the old officers Will
be assigned is not yet known, but the
pan will be put in operation in a
short time.
