MARINES GO HOME
ON THE BUFFALO

MANILA, March 3O.--Over three
hundred enlisted men of the United
States Marine Corps will sail for the
United States in the transport Baffalo
when that vessel departs for Mare
island some time in April These
men who are serving in the islands
and with the Legation guard at Pekin,
have completed their tours Of duty in
the Far East, and will return to the
States to complete their enlistments.
Applications have been received from
many of the men requesting permits
sion to remain on the station, hopeful
of an opportunity to be sent to China,
but as the departments orders is
strict and final, all of them have been
denied
The Saratoga sailed for Woosung
yesterday with an additional company
of Marines under the command of Cap
tain Turner They will be sent to
Pekin and Tienstsin to relieve the
men who will be sent home from the
expedition.
The transports to arrive in Manila
in April and May will bring about
four hundred men to the brigade from
the Mare Island navy yard and eastern
stations, who will fill the vacancies in
the companies caused by the depart
ure of the men in the Buffalo who
have completed their tours here. The
strength of the brigade will be re-
duced fof time, but will be at it's
normal strength as soon as the new
men arrive.

though the state OF scientific knowl.
edge as It stands at the moment seems
to oppose no insuperable barrier to IT,.
But one may speculate whether a uni
versal method of transmutation would
be discovered. II appears to me that
we shall conceivably be able to note
afflnities between certain elements.
and even to transform one into an
other But the idea that gold will
be the first artificial element to be
constructed is probably a delusion,
even if it is not a fraudulent delusion.
A universal process of transmu.
tation would throw our whole eco
noD1ic life into the most extraordinary
quandary, and the difficulties created
by the discovery of a way to make
gold artificially would alone be very
transmutations, not bearing so d.
rectly upon our standard of values,
might be scientific benefits without
becoming the basis of too profitable
explorations

TAFT'S ECONOMY
POLICY SUCCESS

Bradstreet's, April 6: President Taft
seems to be very earnest in his de-
sire to bring about a comprehensive
reform in the management of the eX-
bered that on January II he sent to
Congress a special message giving an
account of the work initiated by the
commission on economy and effici-
ency appointed by him. In that mes
sage he referred to the loss occa-
stoned to the government because Of
the fact that in many cases two per-
sons are paid for doing work that
could easily be done by one. In the
meantime he he's caused an inquiry
to be made of the amount of this loss,
and as the result of this inquiry he
announces in a second message to
Congress on the general subject that
the loss amounts to at least 100000
900 annually. A considerable part Of
this amount-about $4,000, 000-could,
he says, be saved by putting expert
enced and trained officers embraced
in the classified service in charge of
the first and second class postoffices
instead of selecting the postmasters
in accordance with the present prac'
tice. Other savings could, he says
be made through placing in the CLASH
fled service the local Offices under the
departments OF the Treasury, of Jus
tice, of the Interior and of Commerce
and Labor, and he urges also that the
direct saving secured would brinl
about an indirect economy in in
creased efficiency Mr. Taft furthe
proposes, among other things, the con
solidation of the lighthouse and lif,
saving services, the abolition of tn,
revenue cutter service, and a radica
change in the method of paying trave'
ing expenses Of government officials
His message closes with a plea t
Congress to provide the necessar
funds to carry on the work begun b
the commission. Thus, far, at an
rate, that body appears to have abur
dainty justified its existence.
