OFFICERS IN PHILIPPINES
TOO FAT, SAYS REPORT
Standard Of Efficiency Also
Criticised by Gen. CARING
ton, Inspector General.

The corpulency of staff sergeants in
the Philippines and the standard of in
struction in the regular army come in
for criticism in the annual report of
Brig. Gen. Z. A. Darlington. Inspector
general of the army. Enforced exercise
and a suitable walking test are recon-
mended for the overstout sergeants in
the Philippines Division as a means of
fitting them for field service.
Discussing the subjectof instruction,
Gen. Darlington says the reports receiv-
ed indicate considerable variation in
the state Of instruction of the different
units and that the high standard which
should be required of the regular army
has not generally been attained In
struction in fencing and in bayonet exer-
cises is still below the proper standard,
according to the report. while institution
in the mobile units in sending and receiv-
ing messages with the flag is declared to
be unsatisfactory.
while many men can send and receive
after a fashion," says the report, but
few acquire the skill necessary to enable
them to render valuable service in the
field The need of greater effort on the
part of commanding officers in field in
Struction also is emphasized
Captains Neglecting Commands.
''It is reported says Gen. Darlington,
"that all commanding officers have not
arrived at the point where they look upon
field training as serious matter, except
upon unusual occasions, and the desired
results can hardly be looked for until all
commanding officers are held to a strict
accounta bility for the field efficiency of
their commands. As heretofore, the re-
ports of inspectors indicate that system
attic instruction of troops is hampered
to great extent by the absence of Off
GERS, especially captains, from their COM
mands."
An echo of the Titanic disaster is found
in the statement that the life-saving

carry no more human beings than can be
cared for with their equipments of life

Arbitration of all international disputes,
whether between individuals, between ma

nations, was urged by the congress.
which closed it's sessions today. Presi-
dent Louis Canon Legrand of Mons. Bel
GUM, brought the subject up. and a
resolution submitted by him was adopted
unanimously.
Arbitration of disputes between individ-
uals and foreign countries. was discussed
and approved at an early session of the
congress- but some misunderstanding
arose when the chair ruled that an
amendment to include disputes between
individuals or between nations was not
in order.
Endorsed by Secretary Knox.
President Canon egrand presented his
resolution yesterday, he explained, SO
that it might be understood that in max
ing his ruling the only question involved
was one of parliamentary procedure. In
seconding the motion +. ID. Lalane of
Philadelphia read a letter from Secretary
of State Philander Knox. in which the
belief was expressed that permanent
world court of arbitration would be es-
tablished in the near future. The reso-
luton adopted read:
THE congress affirms the desire to see
convened as soon as possible number
of official international congresses assur-
ing between nations the existence of arbl-
trail jurisdiction in the widest sense of
the term and such as' may assure an
equitable solution of all International con-
troversies, either between private people
of different nations or between govern
ments
Resolved, That this congress agrees to
the principle of combination of nations
when and where possible to endeavor to
preVent the atrocities of war.

TAFT DENIES VIOLATION
In London Times He Reit-
crates Former Statements
About Canal Treaty.

LONDON. September o7.-The Times
this morning publishes a message which
its correspondent obtained from Presi-
dent Taft with reference to Panama.
The message follows:
1T seems to me a very unfair argu-
ment to charge a man with being in
favor of dishonoring treaty obligations
when he asserts that his government
never entered into such treaty obliga-
tions. 1t is not competent to charge dis
honor before it has been established that
we violated the treaty.
II gave notice that I held to this con-
struction of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
in my message to Congress year ago,
and no suggestion that my construction
of the treaty was at fault was made un-
til the canal bill had almost reached its
final passage"

The Times editorially protests that it is
surprised at this message. because it
never made the charge Of dishonorable
conduct against President Taft, and
adds:
IF in disputing the Presidents inter-
probation Of the treaty We impeach his
honor, then in maintaining that we are
wrong he impeaches our honor and that
of the British government. which has
protested against his Interpretation"
The Times further contends that Presi-

Presidents Address Before Interna-

BOSTON. September Embarrassing the
delegates to the International Congress of
Chambesrs Of Commerce at the banquet in
his honor last night, President Taft
touched upon the benefits which would
accrue, to nations OF the world from as
sociations seeking to promote the COM
merce Of the world, and thereby to make
away with war.
You come here for trade and to pro-
mote trade said the President. Trade
is peace If trade had no other good
thing coming with it-than to keep off war,
that is sufficient thing.
II believe that We must have some So
luton of the problem that arises and
some escape in the future from the bur-
den that is carried by the increasing arm
aments of nations, and 1 believe that we
will never have a solution until we have
furnished a court for the settlement of
disputes upon which all nations may
rely.
