1t Is pointed out however. that the cost
of putting into execution the proposed
policy will be greatly reduced in the end
by the proceeds resulting from the sale
of the buildings and lands Of the aban-
doned posts and reservations. 1t is in
contemplation to ask congressional au-
thorization for the segregation of the
funds so realized for appropriation for
purely military purposes. In comet sion,
1t is shown that the So 50O.OtO that would
annually be saved by the adoption of the
plan outlined would defray the cost of
adding ten regiments to the existing army
or to pay the cost of 10000 reservists.

posts should at once be abandoned "in or

and inef1ciency resulting from improper
distribution of the mobile army" The
posts are Apache, Ariz.; Boise barracks

immediate abandonment, are declared to
be not located with view of securing
economy of administration and supply or

Favored for Retention.

Four posts recommended for retention
are: Fort Sill, Okla. which is peculiarly
adapted for use as a school of artillery
and musketry fire; Forts Bliss and Hua-
chuca Texas and Arizona, needed as cav
airy outposts for some time on the south
ern border, and Fort Myer. Va, where 1t
is necessary to retain a small garrison
for escort duty and other ceremonial pur-
poses in the National Capital.
The reply to the resolution describes in
detail the Intellectual steps that have been
taken by the several Secretaries of War
during the last ten years to concentrate
the army and get rid of useless and ex-
pensive posts

In Reply to Representative.

These statements are made by Secre-
tary Stimson in answer to a resolution
introduced in the House by Represent
alive Bulkley Of Ohio. The same in
quiry, regading the distribution of the
mobile army. has developed interesting
information regarding the plans of the
military strategists for the future dispo-
sition of the army and it's improvement.
1t appears that the general staff Is now
making careful study of that subject,
which will be treated in report to Con-
gress on the complete policy of the War
Department. Meanwhile this preliminary
report throws a great deal of light on
the purposes In view.
The fact stands out that the principal
object is to dispose of the present small
army with distinct reference to it's MISS on
in case of war. That involves, in the
first place. adequate forces for our for
eign garrisons, which cannot be rein
forced from the United States after the
outbreak of hostilities With the remain
der of the army mobile force is to be
organized and distributed at about eight
great strategetical points in the United
States. These points will be selected with
reference to their value as training sta
tons for combined forces of infantry.
cavalry and field artillery. They must be
favorable to rapid concentration and to
economical administration.

Discovered by Passerby.

Although several men were working in
the building at the time the fire started,
1t was a policeman, Freewalt, who saw
the blaze first, and he was riding near
by on a 7th street car. He jumped Off
and telephoned to the nearest fire engine
house. An engine came Gathering down
the street and by the time it had hooked
up to a plug F'reewalt and several neigh
bors were energetically cutting horses
loose in the stalls on the first and sec
ond floors. A runway from the second
floor was crowded with horses and men,
all trying to get out in a hurry, and the
incoming hremen met the outcoming
horses and men on this runway and the
confusion resulting was by no means
slight.
The little blaze that curled up through
the floor spread to the enormous supply
of hay and feed and turned itself into a
devouring torch, which shot upward
through the roof and blazed sixty feet
into the air. A first, second and third
alarm had been pulled rapidly by Acting
Chief Sullivan, for the spread of the
flames was almost instantaneous.

Segregation of Mobile Army.

The mobile army. now scattered in for
ty-nine posts, is to be segregated into de-
tachments of all arms, each of which can
be readily assembled for team training.
Each of the several tactical groups is to
be stationed in the vicinity of strategic
centers. Two, and possibly three, Of these
groups are to be on the line between the
St Lawrence and Atlanta, covering the
Atlantic seaboard. Two, and possibly
three, groups will be on the line between
Puget sound and Los Angeles, covering
the Pacific seaboard.
AT least two groups will be between the
Great Lakes and the Rio Grande. serving
as first reserves for either seaboard and
nuclei for the development of the Ma.
tional Guard and volunteer forces to be
organized in the interior of the continent
No group is to contain less than a brigade
of infantry, with a proper proportion "
cavalry, field artillery and special troops,
and at least one group will contain a full
tactical division.
BY the concentration of the army In
eight posts, it is declared. and figures are
produced to justify the statement, the
annual cost of maintenance of the army
would be reduced by about $5,5OO, 600 a
year, which in six years would pay for
the new quartering of the mobile army.

EXPRESS COMPANIES WILL COM
PETE WITH PARCELS POST
-. AFTER JAN. /.

1t was learned in the city today
that the express companies of the
country will compete with the par
cells post rates and after the first Of
the year they are expected to make
announcement of the lowering of
their present rates. Such advice is
cleaned from recent advance an
nouncement in The New York World.
The companies are going after the
city and town business but will not
try to compete with, the rural COM
petition. Their former rates will
be lessened from 25 cents for fifty
miles to cents for one pound, 8
cents for two pounds and IL. cents
for three pounds.
The summary OF the express COM
panies rates out of New York will be
$3.50, while the summary of the
parcels post rates will be $38.28,
which still leaves balance in favor
of the parcels post.

in the hills southwest of Kenaston,
was brought to St.. Johns hospital
suffering from injuries sustained in
a runaway 1t was at first thought
that his skull had been fractured
and he had sustained serious inter-
nal injuries. It is now seen that
his case is not as serious as sup
posed and he is recovering nicely.
Together with his brother, Ca
briel, he was engaged in hitching
up a team of fractious young hors-
es, standing at their heads, holding
them by the bits, while the brother
fastened the tugs. They became
frightened at something and gave a
sudden leap forward, throwing him
to the ground and passing over his
body with the wagon. He is to
be congratulated on his narrow es
cape from more serious injury.
