WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. s.
A dozen of the highest ranking Of
ficers of the United States army met
in conference with war department
officials here today to discuss the de-
tails of the extensive plan of reor-
ganization of the army, which will be
the last important military action Of
the retiring administration. The plan
which was first made public last sum
mer, contemplates the abolition of the
present army departments and the
creation of brigades as units in diff
ferent parts of the country, all so ar
ranged and proportioned III respect to
the various aims of the service as ia
be capable of concentration at a mo-
ments notice into regular army corps.
The sponsors for the plan of re-
organization appreciate the fact that
it cannot be carried out except in the
face of much opposition. If the de
partments are abolished it will mean
the passing also of great many
small posts throughout the country, 9
move that would certainly draw forth
bitter opposition of many senator.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Jan. g.
Partial repeal Of the new law pro-
hibiting killing of all fur seals on the
Pribloff islands in Alaska for five
years by permitting the commercial
slaughter of non-beeding male seals,
was urged upon congress today by
President Taft in special message.
Protests Of Japan, Great Britain and
Russia against absolute prohibition of
seal killing inspired the message.
Declaring that the past "closed sea-
son" in the fur seal industry, con-
trolled by the four interested govern
ments, has resulted in remarkab'e in
crease in the size of the seal herds,
President Taft says no necessity ex-
lists to enforce total prohibition of
the killing of useless male seals Harm
to the herds, in fact, the president
declares, is threatened by the propa-
cation of the males.
Instead Of ihdemnifying Russia, ia
pan and Great Britain under the fur
seal treaty because of the law OBJ
solutely prohibiting any killing durini,
the five year period, the president
earnestly recommends that congress
amend the law to permit killing of n
certain number of male seals each
year, to be prescribed by the secre.
tary Of commerce and labor, reservinp
enough young males for propagation
purposes.
Analysing closely Sealing eugen
ics' the president told congress thai
during the recent CLOSED season" tn,
Pribiloff herds had increased to 2l5,
600 seals, against 100000 year ago
due to the protection of the new law
Doubling or even trebling of the herd
within few years is predicted, ever

"The right Of the United States 4
suspend, or limit land killing is no
an arbitrary right" the presiden
says, "but only to protect and pre-
serve the seal herd. II no actua

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. s.
Uncle Sam is swamped by the popular
response to the parcels post One
weeks trial of the new system has
resulted in the sending of such ire
mendous number of packages that the
postofiice department is already un-
able to supply the demand for the
distinctive parcels post stamps, with
out which such packages cannot he
sent.
AT the stamp supply division of the
postoffice department today il was
said that thousands Of kilograms had
been received from postoffices
throughout the country requesting
that an additional supply Of stamps
be rushed.
New York offices were advised TO
wire nearby cities for the loan Of
enough stamps to tide them over.
That the lack of an adequate stamp
supply is seriously bothering officials
was Indicated when Director Ralph of
the bureau of engraving and printing,
today said:
eve started off with five million
stamps day. Within day or so
we had to increase it to seven million.
This forces me to work my steam
press stamp printers night and day.
To supply the demand. and also to
build up a reserve supply, we soon
will have to print ten million day"
The American public has taken hold
OF the parcels post system so quickly
and eagerly that the bulk Of the bust
ness done the first week is so great
that it is impossible today to get any
accurate figures as to the number Of
parcels sent. Postoffice officials said
nm estimate would be impossible for
several days at least The stamp
sales, however, Indicate millions OF
packages.
