SECRETARY WOULD
ABOLISH POSTS
GARRISON HAS PRACTICALLY
SAME VIEWS ON SUBJECTS As
HELD BY PREDECESSOR.
Believes In Annual Assembling Of at
Least One Division as a School
Wherein officers Might be Given
Practical Training.

Washington.-In a statement Sun
day night, Secretary Garrison, point
ing to the army, scattered in small
units throughout the country, impossi-
BILE of coalescence for practical in
struction in the larger tactical meas
ures OF battle, urges the importance Of
assembling brigades and divisions pc
riodically in times of peace, pending
the adoption of governmental policy
for the adequate distribution Of the
army. Epitomizing his idea, the sec
rotary said:
hope that war may never come,
but in the present stage of civilization
we must recognize the possibility; and
it is with this idea in mind that say
| believe it would be well for the coun-
try If our legislators would make pro-
vision for the annual assembling of
at least one division, as school
wherein our officers might be given
that practical training which is so
necessary to develop educated gener.
ais and staff officers We may not
need a large army, but it should be
one which in. organization and train
ing is as nearly perfect as 1t is pos
sible to make it. Otherwise, whatever
is spent is not bringing its full effic-
lent return, and this applies to
thought, skill and training, as well
as to money"
Discussing the question OF future
military policy for the United States,
Secretary Garrison said it seemed to
be agreed that there were entirely
too many posts at the present time
and that many of them we're not
where they we're useful or desirable
under existing conditions.

London.-"Take immediate com
bined action to turn the Montenegrins
out of Scutari or we shall do 1t alone"
declared a circular note sent by the
Austro-Hungarian government to the
powers on Thursday. The note is vir-
tually an ultimatum.
Austria.Hungaria declares she can
not permit the Monfenegrins to fiout
the decision Of the great powers. The
prestige of the European nations has
been violated, says the note. and Aus
trla-Hungary demands that the pow
ers decide promptly on the steps to
be taken TO restore that prestige, add
ing that If the powers should be I'M
able to reach a speedy decision she
will see to it herself that the will OF
Europe is respected and that the
Montenegfins Yacate Scntari.

COMPARED
WITH AGRICULTURE

For every 100 miles Of railway main
rack in 1900 there were l29 miles IN
1910 For every 100 acres Of improved
farm land in 1900 there were ll5 acres
n 1910; for every 100 acres devoted to
crcus To THE former year there were
llOin the latter. That is, during the
census decade. the latest period for
which official statistics are available,
the railway plant increased at over
double the rate Of the agricultural
plant o.
For every 100 ton-miles in 1900 there
were $50 In 1910; for every 100 passen-
ger-miles there we're 202. For every
100 bushels, bales, or pounds Of the ten
principal crops in the former year there
were lOg In the latter. That is. the
output Of rthe railways increased at
rate over ten times as great as that OF
the farm.
Measured per mile the output of the
railways increased 40 per cent and 81
per cent respectively. Measured per
acre the output Of the ten crops aver
aged a decrease of about one per cent.
That is, the output Of the railways
per unit Of plant increased by one half,
while the output of the farms per unit
Of plant averaged a decrease.
The population in the ten years in
creased by about sixteen million per-
sons, OF q per cent. Measured per
lnhabitant the ton-miles of the rail-
WAYS increased 49 per cent and the
freight revenue 81 per cent the pas
senger-miles 67 per cent and the pas
senger revenue 81 per cent. That is,
the work performed by the railways
and the money received by them in
creased at very nearly the same rate.
Measured per inhabitant the output of
the ten principal crops ranged from a
decrease Of 2l per cent to an increase
of 20 per cent, while the farm value
increased from "a to SO per cent. For
example, the relative supply of corn
that was 100 bushels in 1900 was 79
bushels in 1910, the relative farm value
of corn that was 500 in 1910 was Sl44
in 1910. That is, while the supply of
corn per inhabitant fell of Fl per cent,
the value of the supply per inhabitant
increased IA per cent. In the same
relation the supply of wheat fell off IA

BITULITHIC PAVING
To Be Laid at Victoria, B. c.

One of the leading cities of the
northwest to lay bitulithic this season
is Victoria. Much work will be done
and many streets which have hereto
fore presented an unsightlV appearance
will soon help to increase the beauty
and attractiveness of Victoria.
After a thorough investigation, it
was decided to use bitulithic on ac-
count of the fact that it's not only
serviceab4e and admirably adapted to
every day traffic conditions, but be-
cause it will last for years without re-
pairs.
1t is exceedingly annoying to resi-
dents to have a street either worn out
in places or torn up for repairs, as well
from the standpoint of convenience as
financially. For that reason bitulithic,
which has made an excellent record in
other cities, was chosen.
