May Consolidate.
,De,,fRaffDr Of Tho ,

The consolidation Of the war and
navy departments in the report Of
Mr.. Browns commission is fore
Swallowed. although it is too early to
obtain any authoritative information
on that subject. If such a consOlida-
zion is affected the nauon-olG names
War Department" and Navy De-
rartment" probably viii pass out OF
existence and the consolidated de-
partment Will be known as the DE
partment OF National Defense. D."
There is every logical reason why
such a consolidation should be made.
As matters now stand the govern
ment has two enormous machines
that are specialized for making war
on the nations foes but which are
continually waging war Of cOmpe-
tition on each other. Because Of
this rivalry and competitive spirit,
the common taxpayer. who has TO
pay for both establishments, suffers
grievously. The cut-thrOat competi-
uon has gone so far. for instance,
that the ammunition for the army
cannot be used by the navy. One de-
partment designedly constructs the
threads OF its guns so that il cannot
use the ammuniuons OF the other
department Under a combined De
partment OF National Defense" the
two branches would be supervised
by a common head and cooperation
would be substituted for foohng
competition that has cost the tax
payers multiplied millions OF dol
lars.
These proposed reforms lack a
great deal OF furnishing the reader

Browns mind at the present time.
