ARMY AND NAVY NOTES.
Army Recruiting Officers Are
UnjustIy Accused.
Iron The Tribune Bureau
Washington. Septembt

SERVICE SEVERELY CRITICISED
The War Department has received copies
Of a Kansas weekly publication contain
ing a series OF articles severely criticisins
the army method Of recruiting. The writer
has evidently operated as a spy as well
as a reporter in obtaining his inforina-
ticn.
IL is alleged that the army recruiting
officers deliberately misrepresent condi-
lions in the military establishment IN OF
der to entrap young men TO enlist, ana
that conditions in the army are unjust
and harsh to the verge Of cruelty. De-
sertion IS explained and excused on the
ground that the soldiers are mlstreated'
and that none Of the governments prom
ises 10 the recruit are fulfilled.
The statements are in offensive IAN
guage. Not only are they untrue out
the tone is vindictive and calculated 10
create false impressions and TO arouse
public prejudice against the military ser
vice These papers have been circuld'eu
widely throughout the army ana may
therefore. do much harm TO the discl-
plne OF the service.
II has been suggested that the war
Department might find It possible 10 take
action looking 10 the suppression OF al
ticles of this kind. or 10 proceed against
the publisher OF the paper and the au-
thor of the articles. or TO have the pc
riodical excluded from the mails. Thls
is an old subject which has been frequent
~ considered by the War Department IA
connection with previous attacks rum
various sources. although the latest on.
break is the most vicious OF any which
bas Coma 10 the attention OF the army
officers.
The policy OF the department has oeeh
~ nav no attention 20 criticism or TINS
sort. The Secretary Of War cannot WIN
dignity make any reply. and any attempt
cd action would probably arouse STORM
of protest from those who believed II 10
be an interference with the freedom OF
the press. Furthermore, II Is maintained
that any official notice or attempted !esh'
process would be only gratifying 70 those
responsible for the attacks. II wouIo COZ
stitilte an advertisement OF some value anu
would place the offending journal and the
offensive writer in the position OF mar
tvrs 10 what they regard as a worthy
cause
At the same time army officers report
that the circulation OF this comment IN
the army constitutes disturbance Man'
enlisted men cannot understand why no
effective objection is interposed by those
IN authority. and it is on the theory tha'
harm is being done 10 the army that the
War Department has been urged to take
some notice OF the situation.

oiinaaa Impresnab|e.
Oiinaga, Mex Dec 15.-Only Amer
leans with special passes were per
mitted to cross into Mexico today be-
cause of the closing in of the rebel
forces and the prospect OF an attack
on General Mercado's 1000 federal
troops garrisoned here. Whether the
advance of the rebels will result IN an
Immediate battle or prolonged siege
Is impossible to tell.
Oiinaga, in the opinion OF military
men. is virtually impregnable. The
town, where the federals have built
strong Notifications, is on top of
plateau which rises abruptly fifty feet
from surrounding ground. The river
forms a half circle around it on the
east and north, while on the south
rises a series of hills. all Of which
may be commanded by artillery locat-
ed on the plateau. There are three
Joints from which an attack may be
delivered Two of these are so diff-
cult to maneuver cavalry across that
they will be useless as the rebels will
rely mainly on cavalry for the Of
tense. The natural opening for an at
tack would be along the river bank to
the southeast.
The Importance of the ultimate re.
suit here lies in the fact that should
the federals win they then would be in
q position to attempt to recapture
Juarez. opposite Eel Paso. Texas. If
the rebels win General Mercado's force
eth. would have to surrender or
cross into the United States.
