Continued from Page l.) Blacks report will be submitted to Federal Judge George c. Sweeney.
 Black said the opinion of "those best qualified to say" was that $2,. 600,0o0 must Do spent to restore and improve the plant, and that ell,000,- 900 in working capital would be TO. quired before 1t is safe to make a lnove." He said first provisions should be made to pay of bond holders who want or need their money. Tt would take three or four million dollars if the needy classi- fication were kept to the most cruel minimum" the report said. "This means ee,000,000 in new money. It Is useless to entertain any such hope. There Is nothing in the tex- tile outlook to warrant 1t.
 Losses For 12 Years
 "For more than "a years, losses In the industry have fer exceeded gain. In spite of drastic liquidation, we still have 26 per cent more spindles than the market warrants. No man has the temerity to say when an inc provement will come or how far t will go."
 The report did not discuss the legal phases of the classification of bondholders, but continued:
 "yf any .bondholders, big and llt- tie, should exchange his bonds for preferred stock without taking 6 cent of cash, we would have ee.- 100000 for start. The balance. 94,- SOO,OO0, must be raised from stock holders, bondholders or outsiders. This spells the answer. No one can expect all the bondholders to leave ali their money, and no one could conscientiously permit it if they were inclined to be 50 generous"
 Life Savings In Co.
 Many bondholders, Black said. have invested their life savings in the company. "These people cannot make any contributions to the town of Manchester or to the. mill work ers," he said. "An empty flour bar- rel means the same thing to Q des- tltute bondholder that it does to an unemployed spinner" At a hear ing before Judge Sweeney early in April. John L. Hall. representing the Amoskeag company, said hold CTS of e7.7OD.OOO of the sii 5000 ln outstanding bonds had assented to either plan 4 or plan B of recrgar- ization.
 Two Plans
 Plan 4 entitled stockholders to one share Of new first preferred and IS shares of new common stock m exchangfle for each eiO0 par value of old stock.
 plan B called for exchange of ebO In cash and one-half share or the new second preferred stock for each efO0 per value Of old stock.

 The shirts worn by Waterbury'B police. he said, cost less than those worn by police of most cities where the serge shirts are regulation, but yet the shirts are of excellent quality and high durability. Furthermore, he pointed out, officers in the local department do not have to pay for the chevrons placed on the shirts, as do officers in other cities depart- ments.

New York. July e-(UP)-Pro- hibition forces. through local option elections. are getting Q substantial new foothold throughout the coun. try, Q national survey by the United States Brewers association revealed today. Last year there was an in- crease of l40 per cent in the mum Der of towns. and 04 per cent in the number of counties voting dry, c. D. Williams, the Brewers Asso- ciation secretary, said in announce ing the results of the survey.
 Comparative idential figures for 32 states" he said, "shOw that out of l,838 counties, 603 voted dry in the repeal pool. Tn 1884 wet senti- ment had gained considerably and only o4 counties and 246 towns were in the dry columns. In the survey Just completed . total of l03 coun- ties and 6l4 towns have been dried up by local option"
 The results indicate to the Amer lean public. he added. what inroads have been made in the campaign to curtail their personal liberty again.
 New York, New Jersey and Con- necticut were among tho states in which dry sentiment made consld- erable headway in loSO.

MaSsing Since War.
Ry the Associated Press.

.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 25.-Expe-
riments of the War Department with
a mechanical combat force get an
actual test August l to IS In the End
Army maneuvers at Fort Knox, KY.
Modern mechanization originated
in the World War, but the United
States and other countries developed
it as a major factor in formulating
any war plan maneuvers.
The role of creating mobility, shock
and fire action to assist in paving the
way for the infantry, once the work
of the cavalry, has now been taken
over by speedy tanks and armored
cars.
When 10000 officers and enlisted
men take the field at Fort Knox for
the largest mass concentration Of
United States troops since the World
War, the stage is expected to be set
for some new lessons in combat
strategy.
theoretically, two nations will be
opposing each other. The attacking
country will be the Blue, composed Of
Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, In
diana, Michigan, Illinois and WiScon-
SIM On the defense will be the States
south and east of Ohio, West Virginia
and Kentucky.
Tank cars that cover rough ground
at high speed and trucks with ma
chine guns attached to their cabs will
roll across the 10000 acres of the Fort
Knox encampment
Overhead, trim pursuit ships will
dart toward enemy" lines. followed
by roaring bombing planes with a
cargo of destruction for mock NUM-
tions and industrial centers.
The famed Army mule will be just
subject of conservation about the
camp. There will be no place for
him in the maneuvers, nor will any
piece of artillery be drawn by horses.
Mounted troops will play an i'm
portant part. for Army officers say
they remain necessary supplement
to the operations of mechanical
unit to assure versatility and conti-
nuity of action day and night. Ma
neuver activities, however, will con.
centrate about the operations of
mechanized and motorized forces.
Surprise and secrecy of movement
will mark operations during the ma
neuvers. War plans will be laid the
same as for actual combat. There
will be zero hours" and the regular
enlisted men and members of National
Guard units, who will make up the
Second Army forces, will live under
actual battle conditions.

HENDAYE, France, July Is (P.-
French authorities at this border point
were informed tonight by the mayor
Of Irun, Spain, that he intended to

MANPOWER 2S,0DO'
Even With Expansion Plan
Completed 1t Will Equal
Only PortugapS.
nv the Associated Press.

ny the Associated Press.
The United States Army vas shown
yesterday to have increased its actual
fighting man power by more than
$4,000 men during the last year.
When the War Department began
year ago its recruiting drive to fulfill
the congressional authorization OF q
total force of 165,000 men, the Army
had only 1l8,750 enlisted men and
fewer than $4,000 officers.
The War Department made public
July recruiting figures showing that
the Army now has 146,782 enlisted
men and is taking in rockies at the
rate of $500 month. The high
command has set attainment OF the
goal for July /, 1887.
During the year the officer strength
has been increased by only liz, but
machinery has been set in motion by
which West Point will provide the in
creased number of second lieuten-
ants required to bring officer strength
up to $4,000 in the near future.
Army Ranks with Portugal's.
Even with the Army expanded to
165,000 men and $4,000 officers. War
Department officials said today that
practically every major nation still
would have a larger force than this
country. The American Army ranks
with Portugars, approximately sew
enteenth in strength, they said.
When the general staff was author
ized to add 46,250 men to the Army, it
estimated that number would double
the actual fighting strength, since the
"overhead" is not increased and each
rookie will be a fighting man and not
assigned to other duties. The Ma
tional Guard also has been increased
from 10000 to $4,000 during the
year.
The present force consists of 107, ,239
in the Army's nine corps areas and
35,624 in overseas garrisons in the
Philippines, Hawaii, Panama and
Tientsin, China A majority of the
new recruits are to be assigned to
build up company and regiment
strengths at posts in this country.
Recruiting Slowed by Bureau.
President Roosevelt allocated 500
100000 to permit the Army's increase
to the figure set by Congress, but re-
cruiting moved slowly in the early part
of last year because 100000 was
held back by the Budget Bureau in
Its attempt to reduce governmental
ratio in expenses.
Officers for the increased force will
come chiefly from West Point. as
Congress provided that hereafter each
Representative and Senator may ap-
point three candidates each instead
Of two, increasing the cadets at the
Military Academy from 1874 to 1860.
Potential officer material also may
come from the 100000 men to be
trained in Reserve officer training
camps, an increase from the 127,500
trained last year.
