Women for Big Navy

Women in all walks of life and from
every section of the country have raj
lied to the standard Of the women's sec
ton of the Navy League. the first wom-
ems national defense organization in the
United States. Among the prominent
women who have already heartily in
dorsed the new organization and con-
sented to act on the national committee
are Mrs. William Cumming Story, pres
ident of the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution; Mrs. Daisy McLaurin
Stevens. president of the United Da ugh
tiers of the Confederacy; Mrs. Mary
Stockwood founder of the Daughters of

have been invited to become members
of the national committee are Mrs.
Thomas A. Edison. Miss Anne Morgan.
Mrs. John Hays Hammond, Mrs. Alex
ander Van Rensselaer,, Mrs. Herbert l.

Augustus P Gardner When the work
of organizing the national committee is
finished State committees numbering 800
or more members will be organized in
each State. These in turn will organize

This accounts for the efforts that private

Troops Need Shelter

The question of the shelter of the
troops on the Mexican border is engag-
ing military attention. 1t is reported as
the most important of the various prob
lens requiring departmental supervision
and action. Tentage is described as rap
idly deteriorating. the factors of alter

tending to rot and tear the canvas with

which, it is pointed out. should not be
the case. 1t has been suggested that a
moderate allotment of quarterma ster

Lobby to Fight Defense?

Realizing the vital importance OF an
adequate system of national defense
more than 200 representative men of the
City of Baltimore met and. after series
of inspiring addresses. signed men,
bers of the Maryland League for Ma
tional Defense. piedging themselves to
do all in their power to induce Congress
at its approaching session to make prop
er provision for resisting aggression on
the part of any foreign power.
Judge Henry Stockbridge of the Court
of Appeals. in a brief statement call
ing attention to the urgent need of
active work at this time in the interest
of national defense. said that it was
known that aggressive organizations
were being formed in various parts of
the country with the avowed purpose
of sending a formidable lobby to Wash
In gton next winter to prevent, if pos
sible, any large appropriation for the

Judge cited the recent big peace" meet

cloth to determine the invisibility and
the permanence of their dyes. The cloth
will be submitted not only to chemical
and weather tests, but to actual serv-
ice tests. 1t is possible that a number
of suits will be.made and issued to men
in the field. 1t has been found that
field service often brings out defects
in clothing which are not apparent in
scientific and chemical tests.
Just at present, when the War Depart
ment has under consideration plans for
increasing the strength of the regular
army and the creation of some system of
reserves, 1t is important to decrease the
cost of uniforming the army and to Sc
lect the cloth which will be suitable for
all kinds of service. The outSrowth of
the change may be reduction in the
number of uniforms required for officers
as well as enlisted men. While cotton
cloth for tropical service will probably
be retained it will be of the same color
as wooden uniforms. The new cloth is
almost, if not quite. as dressy as the ca
Diet blue worn at West Point. 1t could
easily be used for dress uniform. as
well as for the field. An enlisted man
could keep his newest suit for wear
around the garrison and use the older
one for the field. The same system might
be put into effect in the uniform regula-
tons for officers. The change would be
virtually going back to the old civil war
regulations. which provided only one cloth
for all uniforms.
In discussing the charges under consid
GRAFTON Gen. Sharpe empha sized the fact
that there will be no change. even IL the
new cloth is adopted. within a year. 1t
would probably be year before the ques-
ton was ready for submission to the Sec
retary of War nd the change would not
go into effect until some time after then.

To Increase Marines

l. is stated that when Mai. Gen. George
Barnett. commandment of the Marine
Corps. returns from the Pacific Coast the
Secretary of the Navy will take up with
hin. the question of an increase in the
strength of the Marine Corps, which the
Secretary is disposed to recommend in
his annual report to Congress. There is
= report current that the Secretary has
under consideration a proposition for an
increase of 500 in the strength of the
corps. With 500 additional officers and
men the Marine Corps would then have
approximately a division of land troops.
This would mike it possible to reorGanize
the corps on tactical lines and make it a
splendid force 20 assist the army in the
event of hostilities in MeXXico.
For some time it has been insisted that
the needs of the frequent revolutions in
tn small countries of the West Indies
have outCrown the strength of the Ma
rlne Corps. Such a large part of the
corps is usually kept on duty in southern
waters that it has been impossible to keen
up the advance base work at PhiladeI-
phia. which would be important in the
event of action against any foreign coun-
try necessitatine the use of the army.
The function of the Marine Corps in this
connection is to establish a base under
the protection of the guns of the navy
for the landing of the army
Rut the Marine Corps cannot be kent
IN condition to take such an important
part in large operations unless ii is
strengthened. 1t should have at least
two advance base schools. one on the Pa
"ihc and one on the Atlantic and IL is
urged that these cannot be provided for
unless its strength is increased by at
least 5000.

Several manufacturers have reported

dyes that will produce the natural
mottled brown cloth which is under

uniforms for the United States army.
As has been previously stated. under
ordinary conditions a sufficient GUAM
tity of brown or black wool could be
secured to mix with white wool and
produce the natural color of the cloth.
but in war times it will probably be
necessary to use dye. and Gen. Sharpe
is insisting that the manufacturers
produce the cloth entirely from do
nestle materials. If dye is to be used,
it must be of domestic make.
While Gen. Sharpe is much en-
couraged by the reports OF the manu-
facturers, 1t will be necessary to thor
oughly investigate the character of dye
that manufacturers use. A number of
specimens are now being manufactured
