It is planned to have scouts armed with
cameras working days march ahead of
the troops. Every eight or nine miles
these views can be taken and the films
sent back to headquarters. where they can
be developed and the pictures enlarged in
thirty or forty minutes. This system
would provide the officers of a command
with a bird's-eye view Of the country
over which the troops are to move. and
make 1t possible to plan a campaign even
more accurately than by the aid of aero
planes or other means OF observation.

MENACE IS POINTED OUT
Civil Service Employees Never Would
Be Safe, It Is
Declared.

Declaring that the bill now pending in
congress by the provisions of which
employees in the classified service in the
District of Columbia, at the end of each
fve-year period after the enactment of
the BILL would be discharged from the
service. means nothing more nor less than
return to the spoils system and say
ing that the proper title of the measure
would be IAN act to abolish the civil
service the committee of 100, which is
trying to secure a pension retirement
measure for government clerks, in It's
latest statement. made public last night
makes vigorous attack on the proposed
legislation. The statement follows:
While the executive. legislative and
judicial bill, II. r. 24O23 passed the
House without the clause providing for
the dismissal of all civil service en-
ployes in the District of Columbia when
they reached the age of sixty-five years,
the bill as passed did include provision
equally Objectionable, and even more de-
morallzing to the entire civil service.
Would Bring Spells System.
That is the clause which limits the
tenure of Office of all civil service en-
ployes in the District of Columbia to
five years. Under it's provisions all ap-
pontments expire automatically in the
year 1917, and reappointments are to be
made at the discretion of department
heads The enactment of that bill into
law would sound the death knell Of the
entire civil service system. 1t would
inevitably result in the return of the
spoils system IN its most Objectionable
form.
No civil service employee would be safe
from the attacks of insistent and hungry
place hunters. All that has been gained
for efficient administration and security
of tenure in government employment in
over a quarter of a century of continued
effort to extend the civil service to all
branches of the federal administration
would be lost. 1t would be a reputation
of the often repeated declarations found
in the national platforms of both political
parties in favor of the merit system.
Crisis Now Is Faced.
Civil service employees not only in
Washington, but in the entire country, are
face to face with crisis In the security
of their positions. If such a law Is
passed for the District of Columbia it
would undoubtedly be amended in a short
time to include federal employees In the
classified service all over the country.
The civil servants of the government
have asked for retirement system which
will make adequate provision for their
old age after they have given a lifetime
of effort to service in the government and
in return are Threatened with a law
which will not only make civil pensions
impossible and probably unnecessary be-
cause no one would or could remain in
the service long enough to earn a pension
but which imperils their very retention

Storm Is Predicted.

The proposition which was in the orig
inal bill to dismiss all clerks at the age
of sixty-five years awakened such a storm
of opposition and was SO universally de-
nounced that 1t was dropped out before it
came to vote. The proposal to limit
all appointments in the civil service Of
the government TO five years will awaken
a similar storm of opposition when its
import is thoroughly understood.
What would be thought of an indus
trial corporation or business concern that
proposed to discharge all employees every
five years and re-employ only those who
enjoyed the favor of heads Of the vari-
Gus department? Such a policy would be
most unbusinesslike and unwise for the
best interests OF the government, and
would tend to the utter decentralization OF
the service itself. The proper title for
such a bill would be An act to abolish
