pears TO be very slow in comparison

fact, however, such distances as that

and Fort Smelling, Minnesota, to Gal
weston. would nave greatly taxed the
best quartemaster department. on tho
whole Secretary Stimson feels very
proud of the record made to this point,
when by the issue of single order
to Major General Carter, the Second
division commander, the entire body or
men was set in motion. whereas under
the old plan the adjutant generals de-
partments were obliged to send many
hundreds of kilograms to individuals
all the way from majors general down
to a captain to begin the concentra-
tion. Under the new system also the
uuartermaster general had already as
sembled at the proper point of en-
barlSation all the supplies needed Tor
