SHOULD ALL HAVE MILITARY
TACTICS.

Washington, D. c., Nov 1o.- Secre-
tary Garrison has discovered that the
agricultural colleges established under
,he Morrill, act Of 1862 have not been
living up to the law which requires
them to include military training in
their curriculums in return for aid
from the public treasury. 1t is prob
able Mr. Garrison will make important
recommendation on this subject to con-
gress next month in an effort to OBJ
tain a greater return to the govern
ment for the money it spends.
Secretary Garrison believes these
colleges should become training
schools for young officers for appoint
ment in volunteer army in time of
war. He also believes the graduates
of these schools, properly trained In a
preliminary way during their course,
could serve with profit for year after
graduating Thus they would com
prise an excellent body Of commits

Pittsburgh, Pa, Nov. TO-
Still in the grasp Of a blizzard
that for twenty-four hours has
almost entirely cut off the out
side world, Pittsburgh today is
floundering through almost a
foot Of snow and making every
\ effort to repair the thousands
OF dollars of damage and re-
store lines of communication.
All suburb communities are
cut off from telephone COM
munication and this crippled
condition extends throughout
West Virginia down the Ohio
valley and into the eastern part
of Ohio.
\. This morning there was only
one lame Western Union wire
west to Chicago and one east
as far as Altoona. The Postal
Telegraph had nothing it could
depend on to remain standing,
and all business was taken SUBJ
ject to delay.
Throughout the city this
morning in almost every direc-
tion was vista of fallen trees,
stalled trolley. cars and a pic
turesque ENHANCEMENT of
broken telegraph and telephone
wires covered with snow and +
Ice.
Every available lineman Of
both telephone and telegraph
companies is being pushed to

NAL conditions but representa-
tives Of the companies say it
will be days before they will re-
cover from the storm effects.

which set in early yesterday. Grip
pied transportation facilities in all
parts of the state failed completely
today in many instances. Cleveland

world SO far as telegraph and traction
facilities were concerned.
At Akron 20 inches of snow has
fallen. No railway trains have left
Akron since yesterday afternoon and
