simultaneously with the foregoing
steps the war department has been pro-
ceeding with the reorganization of the
Army at home The formerly disso-
ciated units are being united into a
tactical organization of three divisions,
each consisting of two or three bri-
gades of infantry and, 20 far as prac-
ticable, proper proportion of divisional
cavalry and artillery. OF course the
extent to which this reform can be ear
ried by the executive is practically lin
tied 70 a paper organization. The seat-
tered units can be brought under a
proper organization, but they will re-
main physically scattered until congress
supplies the necessary funds for group
ing them in more concentrated posts
"Until that is done the present diff

together, and thus training them for the
proper team play, can not be removed.
But we shall, at least, have an Army

Regular Army Reserve.

zone Of the most important reforms
accomplished during tho past year has
heen the legislation enacted in tho Army
appropriation bill Of last summer, pro.
viding for regular Army reserve.
Hitherto our national policy has as
sumed that at the outbreak OF war our
regiments would be Immediately raised
TO full strength. But our laws have
provided no means by which this could
be accomplished, or by which the losses
of the regiments when once sent TO tho
front could he repaired. In this respect
we have neglected the lessons learned
by other nations.
"The new law provides that the sol
dier, after serving four years with col.
ors, shall pass into n reserve for three
years. At his option he may 60 into
the reserve Mt the end Of three years,
remaining there for four years. While
in the reserve he can be called to active
duty only in case of war OF other ma.
tional emergency, and when so called
and only in such case will receive a
stated amount of pay for all of the
period in which he has been member
of the reserve. The legislation is i'm.
perfect, in my opinion, in certain par
ticulars, but it is most important step
in the right direction, and ] earnestly
hope that it will be carefully studied
and perfected by congress.

The farm house is a small story
and half building with an attic,
which has two apartments. The last
time the farm was occupied was by
an Italian who gave his name as Sal
vatore Satenzi Of New York. He was
a man of middle age, who occupied
the farm year ago last spring. At
ter they had been on the farm
short time two other families went
to live with them. They did practi-
cally no farming, and little was seen
of them in their secluded mountain
home.
The Satenzi family purchased their
groceries and provisions in Adams,
appeared to live we'll, and, with the
exception Of the last bill of goods
purchased had paid cash for the
goods. All left the farm a year ago
last fall, and had not returned since,
though it is understood that they
left some furniture and still held a
lease of the farm. Chief Hodecker
has notified the federal authorities,
