the recent activity shown by the Anglo
Indian force on the Tigris and the Rus
sian armies in Armenia and Persia
were begun and developed with the idea
of serving as deterrents to a second
attack on Egypt, just as 1t is expected
that an offensive Of the allies on the
Saloniki littoral will shortly be de-
veloped with the same end in view.
The distances, however, are so vast
that at no point can military operations
at present be made to illustrate this
theory. From Constantinople to
Erzerum Is 740 miles; from ErZerum TO
Kut ell Amara, the immediate objective
Of the Anglo-Indian force on the Tigris,
is $40, and from the Russian advance
in Persia to Kut- -Amara is $50 miles;
while Erzerum, the Russian position in
Persia, and the Anglo Indian position
on the Tigris form a broken line whose
nearest point to the Suez canal Is 725
miles.

FederaIize Guards, Add to
Regulars and New
Cadet System.

Washington, Feb. 21.-A new army
reorganization bill federalizing the Ma
tional guard, increasing the regular
army to $4,000 men doubling the field
artillery, increasing the engineer corps
by Is companies, creating four
squadrons of air craft and an entirely
new corps OF cadets from colleges hav-
ing military training was agreed upon
tentatively today by the House mill
tary committee,
The committee authorized Chairman
Hay to draft the bill and have it ready
for the committee next Wednesday or
Thursday, with the understanding that
amendments meeting individual views
may be offered later.
The national guard provisions will
be one of the most notable features.
The committee agreed that congress
has the right to take over the national
guard by legislative enactment and ap-
preparation.
The provision for a corps OF cadet
officers from educational Institutions
having military training is expected to
furnish 5000 trained officers for use
in emergency.
The McKeller bill, providing federal
cooperation in military training in the
states also was favorably reported. 1t

Washington, D. c.. Feb. 22.-Reports
to the bureau of navigation made pub
lie today shows that American ship
yards, crowded with work as never be-
fore in their history, are refusing all
sells and combining construction to those
types for which construction plans
already have been drawn.
With 230 merchant vessels, with a
total tonnage Of about 1000, 900 tons.
building or about to be started, the
United States now is being Outstripped
in construction only by Great Britain
and navigation bureau experts see in
the boom a prospect that the country
may recover the position it held before
the civil war, when it was the fore
most nation in ship building.
The amount of tonnage under con-
struction in American yards has
doubled within the last year. 1t
has increased nearly so per cent
are so filled with orders that many
have work that will keep them steadily
employed until we'll into 1917. Thirty
nine ships have been completed since
last July.
The steamboat inspection service is
preparing for an expected shortage in
men to command merchantmen by
changing regulations governing iSSu-
ance of licenses. The age limit for Of
ficers was reduced in an order sew
eral days ago and other changes in
the regulations are being considered,
Department OF commerce officials
are investigating a plan by which its
promoters claim structural steel may
be used on the vessel construction. If
it proves successful 1t Is declared con-
struction not only will be cheapened,
but an immense advantage will be
given to American yards because
structural steel is produced in such
large quantities in the United States.
One prominent fact the navigation
bureaus investigation revealed was
that much larger vessels are under
construction than IN previous yeaEs.
OF the 230 ships reported building,
16 were Of more than 10000 tons, and
80 OF between 1000 and 10000.

Several possibilities are opened up
by Grand Duke Nicholas's capture OF
Erzerum. Will his victorious army
which thus has forced its way through
the back door Of Turkey attempt to
reach Constantinople through the
mountain passes OF Armenia? Will 1t
send an expedition north to Trebizond
on the Black sea, through an equally
forbidding country? Will it descend
the Euphrates with the idea of re-
ieving the British position on the
Tigris? Or, and this seems the most
probable solution, will it descend the
