sell in Wyoming; and finally the Pre-
sidio of San Francisco. The trip will
consume a month.
Before leaving the secretary ex-
pressed himself as more than pleased
with the army appropriation bill
just signed by President Taft. The
most important feature of the bill, he
said. in his opinion was the step
toward creating a regular army re-
serve. This section Of the bill was
agreed upon as a compromise for a
long term of enlistment.
AT present, while the regiments of
the regular army are kept at half
strength in time Of peace" said the
secretary. there is no provision made
by law for filling their ranks in case
of war. During the Spanish war we
had to fill them with raw recruits.
