Washington.-The United States In
fantry association, the organization of
the infantry officers of the United
States army, gave out an Interview
with Senator George L. Chamberlain
Of Oregon, chairman OF the senate
committee on military affairs. in the
course of which Senator Chamberlain
came out tlattootedly in favor of plac-
ing the army on better war footing
than is the case at present
GAS long" says Senator Chamber
trine, retain the Philippines, control
the Panama canal and dominate the
Pacific, which is our manifest destiny,
we must have an army adequate to
care for these conditions and meet
emergencies.
NO one advocates Il large standing
army in this country. but we ought to
have as Il military organization an
army of efficient officers and drilled
men which can be augmented by train
ed men from Il reserve and supple
mented by the national guard of the
states.
There has been great deal of gen
eral discussion as to the necessity of
better preparation for sudden war
emergencies. and there seems to be
quite Il unanimous opinion that ut the
present time our army is wholly in
adequate owing to the methods that
have been employed. l am heartily in
favor of such changes and improve
ments in the army rs will meet exist
ing conditions. We ought not to leave
ourselves in an attitude where we fear
the possibility of invasion by Japan on
the Pacific coast or by any other
foreign country on our Atlantic coast,
nor in apprehension rs to what might
happen to our troops in case of inter
vention in Mexico because the army
is inadequate for emergencies.
The present session of congress has
been occupied with matters which
have taken all the time so that little
attention has been given to questions

Underground Waters for Farm
Use, a popular report of the United

been reprint ed to meet the wide de-
mand from all farming and suburban
sections of the country. A copy can
now be obtained free, on application to
the Director, United States Geological
Survey Washington, d. c..
This Water Supply Paper No. 800
explains in simple language the habits
of flow of underground waters through
different kinds of rocks and soils, and
calls attention to the dangerous charac
ter of many wells whose waters are
supposed to be pure and wholesome.
Water from limestone rock especially,
it is stated, is apt to contain germs of
typhoid or other disease, due to the fact
that surface waters may find THAR way
directly into underground channels
which have been cut out through the
dissolution of lime.
Methods of protection from subsur-
face drainage in farming districts are
discussed in the report, we'll drilling
methods and cost, types CT curbs and
we'll castings with which wells should
be fitted, etc. The report embraces
only about so pages, but is well illus
trated with photographs and diagrams.
