Wisconsin feels that It belongs there and
most Of the members Of the faculty take
active part in administrative work and in
the politics Of the state. This condition
naturally strengthens the interest in the
political studies of the school.
The University Of Minnesota also keeps
its political students closely in touch with
the political interests OF the state and
they are frequently in attendance at ses-
sions of the state legislature. This uni
versity devotes considerable attention to
municipal politics and uses the city gov
ernments Of Minneapolis and st. Paul as
practical demonstrations of the needs of
cities. A study in the commission form
Of city governpent has lately been taken
up and the budget system OF handling
municipal finances is being carefully put
before these political students.
The Johns Hopkins University through
its political science department has con-
tributed much to
Contribution of the development of
Johns Hopkins. this this subject nt' even ven in in
other institutions. The publication Of
'The Johns Hopkins Studies in Political
Science has been useful throughout the
country because students from the diff
ferent states have been encouraged to
study political conditions OF their own
localities. The settlement Of the financial
affairs Of Santo Domingo by Prof. Jacob
H. Hollander, acting as agent for the
United States, Is only one Of many serv-
ices the political science department of
Johns Hopkins University has rendered
to the public.
AS Is natural, since its former presi-
dent has come before the public az a pos
sible candidate for the national presi-
dency. the study of politics at Princeton
University Is this year even more popu-
lar than before. Before the resignation Of
DR.. Wilson. however this subject had re-
ceived much attention and according to
published list Of students graduating
between 1900 and 1910 about 8 per cent
had entered public service Of some kind.

ANACOSTIA.

The Anacostia Citizens Association has
decided to protest to the Anacostia and
Potomac Railway Company against the
proposed change in routes and schedules
suggested by that company, and urge
that the present schedule and routes be
continued. The company states that its
route to Anacostia by way Of the Union
station Is not on paying basis, so It
proposes to operate all cars by way Of
the Center Market and through to
Congress Heights. It Is also pro-
posed to increase the running time
between cars to ten minutes, ex-
cept during perhaps an hour each
morning and evening. The action to op-
pose this change was unanimous at q
meeting Of the executive committee held
at the home Of President Charles r.
Burr, after the matter had been presented
by John F. Earnshaw, chairman Of the
committee on railroads of the association.
The association will also request that
some new-type cars be placed on the
Anacostia line, on the ground that the
present small cars are not Of sufficient
capacity to carry the people using the
line.

One OF the cars to be used by the
Suburban Transportation Company for
passenger service between Randle High
lands and Bradbury Heights has arrived
and yesterday number Of trial trips
were made. It Is believed this service
will adequately supply the people resid-
ing in that section Of the District. Ar
rangements are being made for the erec-
ton OF garage In which to house this
equipment.

Mineola Tribe, No. II. Improved Order
of Red Men. held a meeting last night
In the local Masonic Hall, with Sachem
HUMPHREYS in the chair, and listened to
a number Of talks. including one from
Past Grand Sachem Tippett. The tribe
also enrolled q number OF new members
and arranged for future meetings.
1t Is likely that the open-air Sunday
afternoon services for men, which have
been conducted successfully for the past
two years under the auspices Of the
United Churches Of Anacostia, will be q
feature again this year. Rev. Samuel w.
odist Episcopal Church. has been the
leader and originator Of these services.
and others are hoping that he will take
the lead this year.

DEADLY DISEASE APPEARS.
Residents and Cattle in Flooded Dis.
trict Of Mississippi in DANCER.

Anthrax, the most deadly Of cattle dis
eases and fatally communicable to hu-
man beings as well, has developed among
the cattle Of the flooded district on the
lower Mississippi. Senator Williams and
Representative Collier Of Mississippi have
been notified by their constituents, and
both called at the Department Of Agri-
culture yesterday to ask that bureau Of
animal industry experts be sent to the
scene of the trouble. The bureau Of ami
NAL industry has several men In that re-
gion under DR.. ]. A. Herman. and one
Of them will be selected to handle the
trouble. The people Of the region still
call the disease by the old French name
Charlton" The floods probably have
contributed to spread the disease among
the healthy herds.

FLEET Of AEROPLANES
FOR MILITARY ANAT0RS
Secretary Stimson Asks Con-
gress to Provide Total of
TWenty-Four Machines.

Secretary OF War Stimson has trans
mitted to Congress the report on aero
nautics asked for several weeks ago in
the resolution Of Representative Sharp OF
Ohio. 1t is long document and deals
with the question Of military aeronautics
from several standpoints. OF the most
immediate importance Is the recommen-
dalton for a plan Of organization in army
aviation. This contemplates ultimately a
fleet Of 150 aeroplanes in fifteen squadrons
and would necessitate a material addition
to the regular strength Of the Signal
Corps.
Asks for Three Squadrons.
Secretary Stimson recommends at pres
emit but three sQuadrons, embracing a to-
tai Of twenty-four machines. The or
ganization plans for the future, however,
contemplate the establishment Of five
''centers Of aviation" in the United
States, at which the training of army and
militia ayiators and experiments with air
craft will be carried on.
Gen. Allen, chief Of the Signal Corps.
estimates that "a machines will be needed
Philippines, for Hawaii, for Panama
and "a for the regular field army.
The plan of organization Is based on
SECTIONS each section consisting OF one
aeroplane, two aviators. one mechanic
and four assistant mechanics. Platoons
include two machines; companies, four
machines each, and squads. eight ma
chimes, with accompanying omcers, avia-
tors, equipment and men.
