Test of Plan of Re-

Expect Complete Second 0ivi-
sion to Be Modified at End
of Present Week.

Chicago, Feb. 26.-The 27th infan-
try at Fort Sheridan started for Gal
weston early this morning.
Washington. Feb 26-With the pros
pect of armed opposition to the new
provisional government of Mexico re-
duced to few small threatened upris.
ings by followers of the late President
Madero, it is the opinion of officials
here that the chances for the use of
military arms to protect American in.
terests have greatly diminished.
Concentration of troops at Calves
ton will continue, but admittedly the
purpose now Is principally to test the
working of the new system of army re-
organization. Major General Carter.
commander of the second division, due
to arrive in Galveston in the next "a
hours, will take the opportunity AFFORD
ed by the assembly of the complete
division of troops to put them through
the PAGES. thus affording various regi-
mental and brigade commanders praC-
tically the first opportunity to direct
movements of large bodies Of men that
would fall to their command in time
of war.
CREDTTABLE TEST.
II the complete division Is assem-
bled at Galveston, at Texas City, seven
miles distant, and in the camp Just
opened near Houston, before the end
of the present week, military experts
feel that they will have accomplished
a creditable feat.
Secretary Stimson feels very proud
Of the record made up to this point.
when, by the issue OF single order
to Major General Carter, second di-
vision commander, the entire body of
men was set in motion; whereas. un-
der the plan of adjutant generals, the
department was obliged to send hum
dreds of kilograms TO as many indi-
vidual commanding officers, all the
way from major generals down to a
captain, TO begin mobilization.
| Under the new system, too. the quar-
termaster general had already assem-
bled at proper point Of embarkation
all supplies needed for the campaign.

the payroll, Mr.. Taft continued, if
there were a complete executive re-
classification of civil service employees.
Under this head the president wrote:
In the present situation many men
at the bottom are receiving larger
salaries than would be obtained for
similar work in outside employment,
rying great responsibility and the
success of whose performance de-
pends on training and long expert
ence, are inadequately paid. From the
viewpoint of the rank and file there
is little hope of reward for merit. The
foundation for reclassification of sal
aries already has been laid In my
opinion it would enable the govern
ment to pay higher salaries to those
OF whom experience, training and mi
tiative are required and make the saw

"The special reason ! have for urg
