The TRIAL IS A UNIQUE ONE
CHIEF EXECUTIVE TO REFuTE
CHARGES OF OUR UMPIRE
PAREDNEss FOR WAR

Washington, March I'm answer
to charges that the United States
army is not prepared for actual war
fare and that it is lacking in every
essential that goes to make up for
midable defensive force, the general
staff, by action of President Taft, has
ordered a magnificent test of the
whole machinery controlling the mo-
bile army on scale greater than
ever before attempted in time of peace
in this country.
Conforming as nearly as possible
to war conditions, involving hostili-
ties in advance of formal declara-
ton of war, the president gave the
word last night, and within few mo-
ments messages were flying over the
country, ordering the assemblage OF
twenty thousand troops in the De
partment of Texas. This practically
is one-fourth of the entire army of the
United States, including troops in the
Philippines and other insular posses
sions.
The navy is to play it's part also
and formidable fleet of armored
cruisers. supplemented by the auxilia-
ries necessary for the successful main
tenance of hostile naval force on
the coast of an enemy, will take its,
place off the Texas shore line. These
cruisers comprise the present fifth
division of the Atlantic fleet now at
New York, namely the Flagship Ten
nessee, the Montana, the North Caro-
lima and the Washington, all power
full cruisers of 14,5OO tons displace-
ment, in command Of Rear-Admiral
Sydney A. Staunton.
The military force will establish
headquarters at San Antonio under
the command of Major General Will
liam H. Carter, assistant chief of
staff, assisted by several brigadier
generals, who will command the brig
ade into which the grand division
will be divided. These brigades will
be placed at strategic points through
out the department of Texas, includ-
ing not only the Mexican border
towns, to which particular attention
will be given, but also at Galveston
and other important sea ports.
The orders contemplate the assign
ment to General Carter's command
of fifteen regiments of infantry, five
troops of cavalry and two or three
corps of field artillery. In addition
two full regiments of coast artillery
will be transformed into infantry,
which will be a novel departure in
military practice. 1t is the intention
to have the entire force assembled
within five days. AS a matter of fact,
the great body of troops already has
begun to move, two cavalry regiments
having started last night from Forts
Oglethorpe and Mcpherson, Georgia.
This large force probably will remain
in Texas several weeks at least.

CABINET OFFICERS PET HOBBY
HEAD OF VOTERS LEAGUE

Washington, March 7.-Secretary o
the Interior Richard A. Ballinger hal
resigned. Walter L. Fisher, of Chi
cago, for years prominent in politica
reform work and president of the
Legislative Voters League, has beer
named as his successor.
The secretary's letter of resignation
is dated January 10. The resignation
was based entirely on the condition
of his health. The president replied
expressing his confidence in Secretary
Ballinger, his reluctance to accept his
resignation and requested the secre-
tary to remain in office until the close
of the session of the Sixty-first con-
gress.
Immediately on adjournment of CON
gress, Secretary Ballinger renewed
the request that he be relieved at
date suiting the presidents convenl.
ence, but Immediately if possible. To
day President Taft sent letter, for
mally accepting his resignation and
announced the appointment of his sue
cessor. Mr.. Fishe- will take ofice in
few days
The correspondence between the
president and the retiring secretary,
shows beyond question the conf
dence which Mr. Taft has reposed in
Mr.. Ballinger throughout the long
siege and the indignation with which
he has viewed the attacks on the
secretary's personal and official in
tegrity.
'T have had the fullest opportun-
ity," the president says in his let
ter, ITO know you, to know your
standards of service to the govern
ment and to the public, to know your
motives, to know how you have ad-
ministered your Office and to know
the motives of those who have as
sailed you.
'T do not hesitate to say you have
been the object of one of the most
INSCRIPTIONS conspiracies for the de-
famation of character, that history
can show"
The president declares that "every
fibre of my nature rebels against
such hypocrisy, (referring to the at
tacks on Ballinger's character) and
nerves me to fight such combination
and such methods to the bitter end,
lest success in this instance may
form demoralizing precedent. But
personal consideration for you and
yours. makes me feel | have no right
to ask you for further sacrifices"
The president further declares 1t
is evident, that he, himself, has been
the ultimate object of attack and says
that to insist on Mr.. Ballinger's re-
naming in office with the prospect
of further efforts against you, is sell
fishly to impose on you more of
burden than I ought to impose"
Secretary Ballinger bade goodbye
to his fellow cabinet officers at the
White House today. AS he was leav-
ing, he said:
81 feel better than / have for two
wears. I shall leave for Seattle, just
as soon as l possibly can"
