WOULD ELIMINATE
MANY ARMY POSTS
Secretary Stimson Favors
Concentration Scheme.

An ambitious programme of reform in
the military establishment Of the United
States is outlined in the first annual
report of Henry l.. Stimson, Secretary of
War.
One of the most important of Secre-
tary Stimson's proposals affecting the
army is the concentration of the scat
tered units of the army, both for the
purposes of economy and efficiency as q
defensive and offensive weapon; NAM
tanning a large portion of the regiments
of the mobile army at war strength, in
stead of keeping them in the present
state of depletiona changing the con-
ditions of enlistment so as to create a
reserve force of men in civil life with
military training to be available in the
event of a sudden call to arms, and the
establishment OF a reserve supply of
ammunition for the field artillery.
The changes recommended by Secre-
tary Stimson are in accord with those
being urged by Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood,
Chief OF Staff. and other officers Of the
General Staff of the army. Many of his
suggestions, says the Secretary, are the
result OF lessons learned from the mo-
bilization on the Mexican border last
spring.
Secretary Stimson denounces the pres
ent post system through which, he says,
I'VE have scattered our army over the
country as IL II were merely groups OF
local constabulary instead OF a national
organization" He adds:
The additional demands made upon the
army by the fortifcations In Hawaii. the
Canal Zone, and In the Philippines make
IL more imperative than ever, the Secre-
tary believes, that the small force avail
able be disposed OF to the best possible
advantage. Despite the pressure OF local
influences deriving profit from the pres
ence OF soldiers in a given section, the
army, the Secretary argues, should be
freed from the present post system es far
as possible. ...
or the field artillery situation, the Sec
retary says:
There Is not enough field artillery am
munition for the guns We now have for
a single engagement such as were fire.
quent in the Manchurian war. The man
ufacture OF this material involves
processes requiring much time, and there
Is no way to hasten. It follows. of
course, that provision must be made Tor
such material long IN advance Of its
probable use. At the present rate OF
appropriation II is estimated that II
would take more than fifty years to Sc
cGre a reasonably supply Of the field
artillery guns, carriages. and ammunition
that would be necessary IN the ovent Of
war.

ENFORCING THE

The Executive officer of the Forest
Park Reservation Commission, b. II.
kumnel, has collected during the
hscal year ending October 81, 1911,
SSl77.52 of which S2O2l. "a was paid

css3d. The State forestry laws are
thus working in way to puulsh those
who set fires in the forest ard at the
same time to relieve local treasures
of large part of the expense of
putting out such fires
This is very practical answer to
the oft made charge that a. law intend
ed to restrict the setting of forest fires
cannot be enforced. That New
Jerseys law is enforced is clearly
proven by the above figures, and by the
further statement that in no So than
in 254 cases during the past ear in

reads were penalized for causing forest
fires. The organization by which
these results are accomplished under
the Forest Commission consists of q
State Fire Warden with four AS

each Of whom is in immediate charge
of a section of the State and of
proportion of the 239 local fire wardeus
who issue brush burning permits, look
out for forest fires, and call out men
to fight them when necessary. The
total net cost of the fire service to the
townships is less than $5, 600 year
while the State spent last year. $40, zoo
and is prepared to spend during the
current year SIS, 600 If SO much shall
be necessary. 1t looks like a good plan
for the State to carry the greater part
of the cost while each community beaIs
eneugh to give it vital interest in
maintaining an efficient service.
