WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Requests

Gus of late that, to avoid confusion and
prevent too many fighting men being
detailed for such work, Secretary
Baker to-day delegated to Brigader
General J. Mel. Carter, chief Of the
Bureau OF Military Affairs, to pass
upon all such applications.
Heretofore requests for military pro
lection have been made directly to the
commander of the ramy camp or post
nearest the threatened point. As q
result, important trainig schedules
have been hampered through the with
drawal OF the veteran units detailed

ALBANY, Jan. ga reapportion-
ment of the political units of New York
City will be made this session by the
Legislature. In addition to a redis
tricting Of the aldermanic, Assembly
and Senate districts, there may be re-
apportionment of the Congress dis
tricts. This was decided upon to- day
at g conference between Senator Elon
4. Brown, leader of the upper house,
and 1haddeus c. Sweet. Speaker of the
Assembly. and the Republican chairmen
OF New York and Kings counties, Sam
uel :. hoenig and Jacob a. Livngs ton.
In the eapportionment it is expected
that some Of the Socialist strongholds
IN Brooklyn, Manhattan and The Bronx
viii be so affected that there will be
fewer Socialists in the Assembly here
and in the Board of Aldermen in New
York City next year.
1he 1917 reapportionmalt has been
found TO be unconstitutional. This was
due to the inclusion Of South Brother

County. The island, by virtue of a
royal patent, is part Of Queens County.
