A SENSATION was created in Washing
ton last Thursday when Secretary OF War
Garrison and Assistant Secretary Brock
inridge rendered their designations TO
President Wilson. Both designations
were accepted. The trouble came be-
cause the President failed to insist upon
the plan OF army reorganization that Sec
rotary Garrison believes isthe only effect
i've scheme. Both OF these high officials
seem to be in the right.
The President takes the stand thathe is
for effective army organization, and ii the
Garrison plan cannot pass Congress, as
seems TO be the case, then he will endorse
any other good measure. This is broad
and liberal and justifiable.
On the other hand, Secretary Garrison
stands firm for the system that has been
worked out by the administration and
army officers; and, believing with all his
heart in IFS efficacy as against all other
propositions. he too is iustifiable in stand
ing or falling by his conception OF what
is the proper thing.
One thing is agreed to by all-the PreSi-
dent has lost from his cabinet one OF his
ablest advisers.

STOCK COMPANY TO LEAVE CITY
Lack of Patronage is Reason, States Alfred CrOSS-I4aSt Performance
 February 12.

Owing to a deplOrable lack of pa tronage the Alfred Cross Stock com pany which has been playing for the past few weeks at the Lyceum thea ter, will conclude it's engagement in this city two weeks from this coming Saturday, February 12. This statement was made by MT. Cross this afternoon.
 MT. Cross explained that he and the members of his company have tried hard to please the citizens Of New Britain by giving them the best of plays, staged in the best possible manner, but the patronage has been such that the company is losing mon ey by staying. The majority of the plays which the company present are high priced royalty plays and from the profits taken in at the window a heavy royalty must be paid the own CTS of the plays.
 The more enterprising and appre- ciative citizens of the city keenly feel the loss of this clever stock company and deplore the fact that the popu- lace does not support it better, inas- much as it is a distinct adjunct to the city and opens way for clean and up lifting entertainme
 Thomas J. Lynch, lesee of the thea ter states that he has no plans made as yet as to what use he will put the theater after the stock company leaves.

CARRANzA TRYING ID
 EFFECT LAND REFORMS
Villa, in Vicinity of Guerrero, Safe from Pursuing
 Forces.

l El PaSO, Tex, Jan. 25-EHOrtS are ment of Mexico, according to infor- | nation made public here today, to establish the land reforms promised by the constitutionalists. AndreaS Garcia, Mexican consul here, said that a commission already had been appointed to devise plans to put into operation the Carranza land distri- button scheme under the decree issued in December of 1914.
 This scheme contemplates the re- turn of government control of munici- pal lands taken by private parties during and after the Diaz regime. When this is accomplished, it is said, the Carranza government will proceed to divide the vast areas of unculti, vated lands, comprising some of the largest estates in Mexico. Soldiers who have fought for Carranza will share first in this distribution of small farms, it is announced.
 Advices from the interior of Chi huahua state report continued tran quility outside the district in which the forces of Villa, Argumedo, Con- treras and other rebel leaders are operating. Reports from Torreon state that the Carranza troops, com prising part of the 10, 900 men be- ing concentrated for campaign to eXterminate bandits, already nave taken the field against these leaders in the Laguna district.
 Latest advices concerning Villa says that he is in the vicinity of Guerrero, where, according to statements by his supporters, he is safe from pursuing Carranza forces, pending completion of his plans to reorganize an army to take the field, with Argumedo and other leaders, against the de facto government of Mexico.

REGARD INSTRUCTIONS
 ALMOSTREVOLUTIONARY
French Minister of War Mod ernizing War Office Ad-
 ministratiOn.

Paris, Jan. A, 11:50 D. m.-General Gallieni,, the French minister of war in pursuance of his policy of decen- tralizing and modernizing the meth ods of the war office administrati on, has issued series of instructions which are regarded in bureaucratic circles as almost revolutionary.
 The general points out that the de- partment receives daily an average of | ten thousand documents which have to be passed upon. The result has been a certain degree of confusion and difficulty, whose energies should be devoted to giving impulsion to the whole machinery of the department are called upon to decide on questions of detail about which they can know nothing.
 As a first step Gen. Gallieni makes q clean sweep of that part of the red tape which consists in the obligation of excessive letter writing and exag- gerated fOrnalities He insists on the adoption throughout the army of methods similar to those in use in large business concerns. To break down the so-called 'Watertight com partments' which separate the differ ent departments of the central ad- m1n1strat1on and thereby constitute a fruitful source of waste of time and energy, he orders that the heads thereof meet twice weekly to discuss and coordinate their work.
 The minister further orders that greater initiative be left to subordin- ate officials District authorities will henceforth be empowered to make contracts which do not involve more than 100000 francs and to sign or re- new leases, on their own authority. within certain limits. For the purpose of reducing the number of soldiers employed as clerks he has given in structiOns that the use of typewrters be made general in the department.
 Many laws governing army admin istration date back fifty years and are not in harm OnY with present condi- tions. General Gallieni has announced his intention, wherever it may seem desirable, to request parliament to repeal or amend these laws

General Weyler was governor of Cuba just before the Spanish-Amer ican War. His severity in waging war on the revolutionary movement and particularly his action in forcing the concentration of the rural popu- lation in certain sections have gen. erallE been regarded as having had much to do with the bringing about of that war. After his return to Spain his reputation as an iron-hand- ed soldier brought him appointm ents to positions where stern measures seemed to be required. His appoint ment in 1900 as captain general of Madrid resulted in more than one ministerial crisis. He was minister of war in 1901 and again in 1905. In 1909~ he was appointed captain general of Catalonia with headquarters at Barcelona, where the disturbances connected with the execution of the sentence of death of Francisco Ferrer Were quelled by him without blood shed.
 It was recently announced that tn e Spanish government had decided to reorganize it's entire army system, and the appointment of Gen. Weyler to the newly created position of presi- dent of a central general staff is an indication that the veteran soldier, who is in his seventy seventh year, continues to be a power in the miIi- tary service of Spain.
