has employed $50 non-union carpen
ters on one cantonment.
While only twenty-five hundred
men are directly affected, it is report
ed that the walko out of four hundred
thousand carpenters might result ii
non-union men are employed on gov

MANY HIGH LINE OFFICERS ARE
IN DANGER OF BEING LEFT
AT HOME.

Washington, Aug 10.-Army de-
partment commanders are to be re-
lieved at the cantonments and guard
camps within their department and
will devote themselves entirely to the
regular troops within their jurisdic-
ton.
Unless there are changes in the
high commands, the effect will be TO
keep such well known commanders
as General Wood from going to Eu-
rope.
More than two hundred generals
will be appointed within the next few
days. 1t is possible that some of
these may be assigned tC the depart
ments, thus permitting the sending
of the high line officers with the

Definite plans will be announced
by the proper officials within short
