War Office Error
Forces Half of
Army Into Tents
Mistake in Estimate Permits
Building Of Only Is of
81 Cantonments


Washington, May 1.-Notwithstand-
ing its announced intention to build
thirty-two environments for the new
army, the War Department will con-
struct only half this number, it was
learned to-day. The reason for this
unexpected change in plans is a mis-
calculation in the Office Of the Quar-
termaster General. where estimates for
cantonment construction were pre-
pared.
The War Department asked Congress
to provide about 81 ,OOO,O 900 for the new
cantonments. Both the Senate and the
House agreed to this amount and in
corporated it in the war appropriation
bills. Subsequently, some one in the
War Department checked over the can
Torment estimates and discovered that
instead of $77OOO,OOO, nearly s194, OOO,-
600 would be necessary to construct
the thirty-twO cantonments planned
The War Department, unwilling to 60
before Congress and admit that its
estimates were faulty, and ask for
more than twice as much money as had
been originally requested, changed its
plans.
So the department now plans TO build
only sixteen cantonments, and as a
substitute for the other sixteen it in
tends to put about 100000 men under
canvas. Only few weeks ago the de-
partment labored under the delusion
that there was a great shortage of can
vas in the country. This, however, now
has been happily dispelled and the sol
diers are to live in the open in those
sections Of the country where the
weather permits.
Members Of Congress who are &C
quainted with the matter declare
that tho entire expenditure for
environments is unnecessary. Instead
Of spending a vast sum Of money for
permanent quarters, ;he War Depart
ment. il is contended shoald accept the
proposal advanced by members Of both
the British and French war missions
and send our soldiers abroad for train
ing in camps that are already prepared
for this purpose. This plan. it is con-
fidently predicted. will be finally fol-
lowed. but only after the War Depart
ment begins TO appreciate the COM
handing Importance Of the time Gle
ment in the business of making war
Secretary Baker to-day stated his un-
willingness TO permit National Guard
units. now recruited TO war strength
and completely equipped. 70 be mobil-
lied prior 20 the announced dates, the
earliest of which is July /. On the
contrary. the Secretary Of War intii-
mated that there might be rctarda-
ion Of the mobilization.
The reasons advanced for this were,
he stated. that this country already has
all the men trained and equipped for
foreign service that we could find ships
20 transport abroad Again Mr.. Baker
is Of the opinion that the "shlrtslecves-
broomstick" method Of getting ready
would herald our real unpreparedness
TO the world and incidentally would
have a most depressing effect on our
allies.

pressing military needs Of France. II
was learned to-day Is units Of Ameri-

reservations TO this effect from the

In pursuance Of the French request,
the War Department is already con-

TO this reorganization. 1t Is said, IS a
notable lack of light field pieces
The department. however, is taking

will be used by as many gun crews as
can be handled BY instruction officers.
