|NEANTRYMEN SEEK
NEW SHELTER TENT
Secretary Garrison Considers Recon-
mendations Of General Staff
Favoring the Hughes.

Secretary Garrison is considering the
question of adopting new sneiter
tent for the use of disn1ounted troops
of the army. The present shelter tent
adopted by the infantry equipment
board as a part of the field outfit for
that arm OF the service, has been de-
clared unsuited for the purpose and as
being inferior in every way, except
cavalry troops.
1t has been represented that the IN
fantry tent is too small for the two
soldiers, and their personal equipment
it is intended to protect, and also that
it does not afford proper protection
from the rain These tents are sup
ported by a rifle and bayonet con-
tributed by each of the two soldiers,
who carry. respectively. tent half. 1t
has been declared that such exposure
of the rifle and bayonet is detrimental
to their serviceability.
Favors Hughes Tent.
The question has been under con-
sideration by the general stan or the
army for several months. and report
has been made to the department IN
favor of the substitution OF the so-
called Hughes tent for the use of dis
mounted troops.
The weight of the three tents referred
to as carried by each soldier {one-half)
is, for the cavalry tent, with pole ana
five pins, four pounds and seven
ounces; for the dismounted troops,
without pole two pounds and seven
ounces, and with pins, five ounces: for
the Hughes tent, with pole and pins,
three pounds and eleven ounces.
Likes Cavalry Tent.
Whether Secretary Garrison Will roll
low the recommendation of the general
staff remains to be seen. Saturday aft
ernoon, in company with Gen. Bliss.
acting chief of staff. and Gen. Sharpe
of the Quartermaster Corps. he made
practical test of fourteen different
types of shelter tents. designed by
army officers. which had been erected
in the grounds south of the State De-
partment for that purpose.
The Secretary seemed to favor tne
cavalry tent as being more comfortaple
and more impervious to water than
the others, but admitted that It's m
creased weight necessarily made II
less desirable for the use of foot troops.
1t is expected the matter will be set
tied in a short time.
