Reform in Army Structure.
Secretary Stimson believes that the
plan of reorganization is as thoroughly in
accord with the views of the army as 1t
is possible for any such plan to be.
1T not only represents" said he, "a
great immediate reform in the structure
of the army. but it paves the way for
constant. rational improvement. 1t con-
centrates the attention of the officers Of
the army upon the necessity Of a proper
organization for the army. From the
very fact that many Of the new divisions
and brigades will necessarily be incom-
plete and imperfect, 1t calls to their at
tention such defects and points out the
line of future growth and correction
whenever the army is enlarged and per-
fected.
ecutive has gone as far as its consttu-
tional powers permit in the direction of
the creation of a complete, well balanced
and concentrated army. ANY further CO.
ordination and assembling Of troops into
stations and localities, sufficiently near
each other to afford proper opportunities
for drill can only be taken on the an
preparation of sufficient funds for that
purpose by Congress"

instead of it being necessary for the au-
thorities at Washington to gather to-
gether and create such a force 1t Will
only be necessary OF issue a single order,
addressed to the commander of the d.
vision or brigade in question, directing
him to mobilize his force at the desired
point. The importance of this single
phase of the reform can be appreciated
when it is remembered that in 1911 1t re-
quired sixteen days to create, gather to-
gether and mobilize a single division OF
about 1900 men at San Antonio, Tex.
In 1912 it required the Bulgarians eight
cen days, or two days more, OF mobilize
an army of approximately 10000 men
to cross their enemy's border and beat
into helpless ruin the Turkish army.

NO INQUEST FOR
LEM BONE, SAYS
CORONER
Donehoo Satisfied With Doctors
Statement, Bookmaker's Death
Did Not Result From Fight.

Coroner Donehoo said Wednesday
mat there would be no inquest over
the death of Lem Bone, the pie
turesque sporting man who died Tues
day. The Coroner said the statement
of DR.. Walpole Brewer that Bone
came to his death from pleurisy. and
that the pleurisy could not have been
caused from blow, satisfied him
that Bones death was due to natural
causes.
Investigations by Coroner Doneh1o
and city detectives have revealed that
Bone did have a fist fight eleven days
before his death. One of his eyes
was discolored from "A bruise from
that encounter and there was a slight
cut on his lip, but no signs of any
other injury
An account of this fight by Mrs
Bones at her home, No. A Fair!ie
street. shows that Bone kept mis-
courage until his death, In his young
err days he was a terror to the police
South.
Tells of Fight.

and shook hands with my escort.

Always Kept His Word
Acuuaintances of Bone say that in

element of his character was con

G. D. Potter says: while this dull
