FIGHTING FORCE
IN GOOD SHAPE
UNCLE SAM'S ARMY AND NAVY IN
FINE TRIM IN CASE OF INTER-

GALVESTON, Mar 1S.-Just at this
time when so many fresh difficulties
are springing up in the Mexican situa-
ton there are perhaps few citizens of
the nation who do not wonder how we'll
our army is prepared for actual war
fare-for it would be actual warfare
to try Intervention in Mexico The uni
ted States army is now composed of
approximately 81 900 officers and en-
listed men, of which number 10000 are
on duty outside of the United States
while the remaining 10000 are at home
stations, mostly on border duty and at
the large government posts One
third of the quickly available standing
army is now modified at Galveston
and Texas City, while there are scat
tered along the Texas border many
companies of infantry and cavalry. At
Fort Sam Houston, the second largest
army post in the United States there is
a brigade of the Texas national guard,
ready at a moments notice, number
! 900 men. The entire second division
is modified here and has been under
canvas for one year.

ing to figures obtained here The mil
tia furnishes better fighters than vol
unteers, but the militiamen cannot be
counted regulars for it would require
perhaps three months to get them in
proper fighting trim That section of
the regular army mustered at Calves
ton now is in the finest kind of fight
ing condition Living in the open, I'M
der canvas, for one year, the officers
and men have faced summer heat and
winter cold alike and are hardened to
the maximum point, while tedious and
brilliant maneuvers that are constant
ly being held have kept all of the bat
talions on their toes until they are up
to the latest war tactics. Every eff
fort of the generals and commanders
here during these manuevers has been
toward simplification, efficien-
cy and effectiveness and perhaps there
is nowhere in the world today a better
trained and more alert army division
than that now here.

Wiping Out Deficits.

Although the athletic college year is
not yet over, and it is therefore too
soon to give the financial statement
for the entire nine months, it is of in
terest to know that the last $500 of the
old indebtedness has been paid off;
that a fund of $S40 is now in the trea-
sury to be applied on the new athletic
field, and that there is on hand an adj
ditional $500 to carry on the sports
which come next on the calendar, base
ball and track, and to pay for the care
of the tennis courts, the latter item to
be about $780, Some time in future,
as the number of students increases
and the expenses for the athletic field
the money derived from the
increased registration fee will be spent
in bringing some attraction to the uni
versity such as concert company or
a lecturer

all the property belonging to the
teams, which at present the manager
has to hire some one else to take
charge Of; could advertise his games
more effectually because he would
have more time to write his advertise
ments and distribute his cards and
posters; could make more advantag-
eous contracts because he would have
J more time to investigate conditions
and to devote to correspondence; could
buy to better advantage because he
could spend greater number of hours
in finding out what the wholesale
houses have to offer and could buy
more at leisure and get better prices
from them.
Could Plan Other Movements.
A manager who was free to give the
necessary time to the matter could
also make several hundred dollars a
year by putting on good show each
winter for the benefit of the athletic
treasury. Minstrel shows given in the
past were successful, combining, as
they did, all the clever vaudeville
stunts which the students could put
on and a most interesting exhibition of
skill in wrestling and in work on gum
nasium apparatus. The annual ath-
letic ball, if managed by an expert,
could be made the most profitable as
we'll as the most popular dance of the
year. In these and many other ways, |
the graduate manager hired exclusive |
ly for that work could earn and save
a handsome sum each year in addition
to his own salary.
In some colleges the coach is also

principles of business
1t would be most disastrous
f the coach were of a vacillating tenn
1erment, or if he disliked correspon-
lence, bookkeeping, purchasing sup
)lies, and other business details.
In most colleges the graduate man.
lger of athletics also has charge of all
student public events and manages
days, concerts. and other entertain
nents Such a plan, in the opinion of
Ir. Larson would work well here be-
.ause it would give to every enterprise
he services of an expert in buying, adj
-ertising, making contracts, and all
he other tasks that fall to any man
gers lot.

fectively blocade all Mexican ports
Soldiers of the regular army and the
militia have been given thorough prac-
tice in handling and firing their rifles,
! the amount of rifle practice now given
! each man being more than double what
men are all familiar with their arms
and 80 per cent of them are good shots
at stationary and moving targets, for
all kinds of surprise firing has been
lately introduced. The heaviest OBJ
tainable type of automobile trucks that
can carry several tons of provisions,
arms, ammunition, etc, have added
much to the speed with which supplies,
and consequently troops, can be moved
overland These trucks are capable of
making twenty miles per hour under
adverse conditions and over smooth,
level roads could possibly make 80
miles an hour if such speed were ne
cessary Motorcycles have been fur
nished members of the aviation and
other squads which need to make
quick trips about the field or post, and
these have greatly shortened the time
required for establishing wireless
camps, signal service camps and car
ing for ayiators and aeroplanes. So
many automobiles, trucks and motor
cycles have been already put into use
that it is certain that in the event of
war with foreign country the auto
mobile would play considerable part |
but the horse and the mule would not |
be eliminated.
Field Artillery Battries Lacking.
The army at present is sadly lacking |
in field artillery batteries, that being |
it's most striking deficiency, but on the
other hand, the signal corps is far in
advance of other armies, as here will |
be found every one of the very latest
in wireless telegraphy, tel
ephony and telegraphy, as well as the
most servicable instrumental and the
quickest possible sort of method for
getting from one place to another, the
Our battleships along the
Gulf coast could effect perfect block
ade of every port within "a hours. The
troops now stationed here and other
points in Texas could be gotten to any
than "a hours while those sent out
for Mexican Gulf ports on the trans
ports would reach their destination
anywhere from Sc to 60 hours after
here. The large army
transports now in Galveston harbor
can accommodate an average of 5000
men each, carrying on board rations
or Is days, and they are already
stored with these necessary rations
rhe men could be safely on board and
tut of port a few hours after orders t

On Advertising
WEARING APPAREL

WEARING APPAREL
Of course newspaper adver-
Using has a good deal to say
about quality and price, but it
also gives its readers the latest
information on correct fash
ions in every kind of wearing
apparel.
More than that, if you are a
careful reader, it will tell you
what you can safely choose for
your own particular use.
In place of the glittering gen.
eralities that made up the
merchandise advertisements a
few years ago, we now have
the same clear, concise, bust
ness like talks that you would
hear from frstTclass salespeo-
pie.
Reading the advertisements of
progressive merchants is as
pleasant administrative as con-
versing with well-posted peo-
pie interested in helping you
to decide upon the best thing
to buy.

Great Advance Made.

Great advances have been made by
army officials. For instance, thesrifie
now in use has a range of 1850 yards,
more than one and one-half miles, and
it has necessary wind ranges for var
ious winds. The militia, regular in
fantrymen, and the navy have the same
style and model guns, whereas, during
the Spanish American war, the navy
had one kind, the army another kind
and the militiamen were supplied with
a half dozen different model and cali
bre guns. Various size cartridges had
to be supplied with a half dozen diff
ferent model and calibre guns and one
department could not use the same
as the other, resulting in
a great amount of confusion which is
now completely done away with.
