i A I3 vJ ARMY AND NAVYGQSaP I tSE WASHINGTON JSTVStJNDiT OCTOBER 190 4asia and JVlusjcictfs UNITED STATES ARMY There is considerable speculation la military circles as to who will be selected for appointment to fill the vacancy In the grade of fertsadter general caused Ay the retirement for age of Brig Gen Philip Reade on October 13 and as to who wilt be selected to succeed Brig Gen Robert OReilly as surgeon general of the army wheri that officer reaches the re these selections will be announced until after the election It ls probable that an Infantry officer will be appointed to the vacancy caused by Gen Reade retirement if anything like proportion in the selection of general officers from the differetn arms of the service is to be observed Of the fourteen brigadier generals of tfie line Gens Carter Mills Edgerly Pershing Thomas Morton and Kerr have come from the cavalry Gens Bliss and Potts from the artllery Gen Funston from the volunteers and Gens Myer Hodges Wotherspoon and Brush from the infantry It is a rare occurrence that a civilian appointee who passes the examination for commission as second lieutenant in the army refuses to accept his commission but this is the case of Bright Marston who was recently appointed to the infantry A recess appointment was issued to him in the regular form and he was called upon to file his acceptance It then appeared that he had married since his examination and he indicated that if it were not for his marriage which he understood to be prohibited by general orders he would accept the commission As the marriage oonsttuted no bar to his appointment to a military office the young man was so informed Then the War Department was surprised at the receipt of his declination to accept the commission The Twenty first and 10M companies vide additional prizes In the national match In order that more of the national guard may have opportunity to secure rewards It will also be proposed to take steps to eliminate the professional soldier and the professional shooter so called the suggestion having beeu made to so Isolate the teams from the regular army navy and marine corps that the national guardmen will have more chance to win Probably the board will adopt the sug tiring age on January 14 1909 Neither of I geation for additional prizes but the Iso lation of the service teams will be vlg orously resisted by the army navy and marine corps members of the board Much favorable comment Is being made by both army and militia officers who were present at the maneuver camp recently closed at Atascadero Ranch Cal on the suitability of the camp site for such purposes it is likely that congress will be urged to purchase it for permanent use It contains about 22000 acres and is so diversified in Its topography that it makes an excellent ground for military maneuvers In view of the fact that the recent act which provides for the medical reserve corps of the army contains no authority for its members to be placed on the retired list of the army when they become incapacitated in line of duty it will be necessary to honorably discharge First Lieut John Slayter of that corps who has been on duty at Fort William Henry Harrison Mont as he has been found incapacitated for further active duty It is held that the act prohibits the retirement of an officer of the medical reserve corps and that a pensionable status only is created where the disability occurs the line of duty while on actle duty A new cap for use of soldiers In cold climates has been adopted for tthe army to succeed the old muskrat cap It is made of heavy canvas and khaki cloth and 16500 of them are being purchased of tno const artillery stationed at Fort JJJje use of troo 8 Alaska and else able record at target practice when eight hts were made out of nine shots The accuracy of the shots was due to perfection of the guns the officers and enlisted men of the companies having spent considerable time In regulating anj arranging the mortars so that every gun would shoot perfectly and accurately Lieut Col Raffertj commander of the artilery district in which Fort Howard is located acted as fire commander Capt Arthur Chase was battery tommander Lleuts James Watson and Thomas A Terry were emplacement officers And Lieut Kdward Woodbury wai range officer and the gun arrangement was perfected under them Capts Henry Ferguson Francis Koester and Lucus Holbrook of the subsistence department of the army have beon appointed a board to convene at Fort Riley Kans to make a practical test of the so called marching kitchen or whfI mounted soup kettle which was obtained from abroad some months ago The officers also corstltute the board whlfh reling the army cook book and preparing a manual for use of army bakexs In connection with the tests of the marching kitchen experiments will also he maf with tarious tjpes of field ovens int luduig those designed by Majs William Hart and Alexander Davis of the subsistence department As a result of competlthe tests of self contained horizontal range finders recently conducted at Fort Monroe Vat it has been recommended that twenty Instruments of th characted manufactured by a firm at Glasgow Scotland be purchased for use on low sites along the Gulf coast The Va Department has decided to ask Coagress for an appropriation fo the acquisition of the tract of ground used for Joint army and mifHia exercises during the past summer at Pine Plains in order that the tract may be permanently available for military ma ieuers This recommendation will be made in the full realization of the fact that Congress will act adversely on the proposition Congress has so far evinced no eagerness to buy camp sites and besides special board of arm officers has reported against the Pine Plains tract While the importance of bulng tracts of land for maneuvers ls fully known conflict of interests of those who have land to sell in various parts of the country has placed an obstacle In the way that is difficult to overcome Maj Henry Allen of the Eighth cav wno ras Been purchasing horses Under orders Issued seme time ago Lieut Col Robert Howze will soon relinquish the duties of commandant of cadets at the military academy at West Point and assume commandOf the Porto Rico regiment cf Infantry at San Juan The West Point assignment ls a popular one and many applications have been sent to the War Department by officers who would like the designation The selection for the place In recent years has been made personally by the President Examinations will be commenced on December 7 In the various parts of the world where United States military posts are situated of enlisted men of the army hospital corps who are candidates for promotion to the grade of first class sergeant In that corps There are 30 vacancies and over a hundred candidates will be examined Army officers are constantly endeavoring to adapt their appliances to ready transportation In the field Somewhat in line with the development of the rolling kitchen ls the attention being given by medical officers to the development of a mobile ray machine which can be made a part of the equipment of field hospitals The German army already has such a machine which has proved satisfactory and of great value tion of war anawhether the high spewl of which theyare capable a smooth sea will be sustained In ne vy weaicer The suggestion has been made that a more profitable investment of the government funds would De in the direction of subsidising large merchant vessels of the Lusltanla type which could Mi usea when necessary for naval purposes Puch vessels would have an endurance which Js beyond the possibilities oth present scouts as they would be capabl of carrying sufficient fuerto give thaw a radius to meti the demands of a long absence trom a base of fuel supply Thsywould have a speedy of at least 20 knots and could Te so constructed that their Interiors could easily be converted Into spacious coal bunkers while batteries of six Inch guns could be readily Installed In addition they could be rsed as troop transports Badges for service In the ctVll war West Indian China and Philippine campaigns are now being distributed by the Navy Dpartment gratuitously to on listed men of the navy and at cost to of fireiK Tlie rivll war badees were lust re ceived Jast week from the manufacturers Badges for the marine corps for these campaigns havo beeu shipped to the head quarters of that corps In this city andJ aDi by 80me that these concerts be UNITED STATES NAVY Mr Roosevelt still adheres to the opinion that Congress should authorize four battle ships every year and he will make accommodations to this effect In his forthcoming message notwithstanding the fact that at the last session Congress refused to authorize more than two and that the chairmen of the naval committees announced that this would be the policy of Congress in the future as far ast they were able to influence legislation Last vear the President made known his recommendations through Mr Bever idge In the Senate and Mr Hobson in the House thereby ignoring and antagonizing the chairmen of the naval committees Senator Hale and Representative Foss It is doubtful that Congress will authorize more than two battle Ehips at the next session and the only chance for four is that Mr Roosevelt conduct his campaign for them through the naval committee chairmen The question of additional fleet colliers with a cargo capacity of 12300 tons each of the type of which two will soon be laid down one at a private ard and one at the navy jard Mare isiana uai will also be brought to the attention of Congress It Is estimated that fi A snfl fnllfarv tA jjii for the army in the Northwest Cant to the twn snnm tn hJ Knbj Walker of the quartet masters de 1 be sjfficient to carry fuel for a fleet oi ju oaiuesnips ana thus double the radius of action of such a command It Is likely that recommendations for additional colliers will be linked with those partment In the central West and Capt Leyher Hardeman of the quartermaster department in the Southwest report some success in their transactions Maj Allen and Capt Walker have orders to purchase 200 horses each and Capt Hardeman will buy 100 horses I is Intended by this means to obtain horses from the various sections of the cnuntrv and make a comparison of their relative adaptability to the mlitary ervice when they are assembled at the i mount depot at Fort Reno Okla Maj Alen has already obtained 60 4 ear olds whicn are regarded by experts as ad rrirablj adapted to the service There is now at Fort Reno stable room for 440 animals and two more stables tor 100 animals each are under construction Already there are 2S horses at the ilpot all from Montana and a shipment of 300 3 ear olds ls soon expected Tiie svstem of training adopted ls one gentle treatment wun a view of having the animals gradually become ac cstomed to the saddle A decision of Importance to both army fcnd mlltia organizations has been reach el by the War Department in regrrd to gollerv practice ammunition to the effect that hereafter 60 clips shall be Issued to each troop battery and company for ue holding practice cartridges of 2 i aliber for use in the model of 1903 gallerv practice rifle of which latter four are Issued to an organization Up to this time onl 25 clips have been Issued to an organization but this has been found Insufficient Contracts will soon be placed by the chief of ordnance of the army for 15000 010 rounds of gallery practice ammunition which will form a supply for a little over six months Officers and enlisted men of regiments which are liable to be called upon for foreign service to say nothing of their families are awaiting with impatience announcement of the regiments selected lor Philippine duty which will embark on the transports within the next year The general staff made its recommend I tlons in the matter some weeks ago since for battleships Three officers of the navy pay corps who were recently examined lor promotion to the next higher grades respectively have been reported as qualified They are A Paymasters Holt on duty at the Navy Department and MUKger of the baIeshlp Idaho who will be promoted to paymasters and Assistant Paymaster Howand Alklre who is waiting orders and who will be promoted to passed assistant paymaster It has been decided to no longe paint the hulls of our warships the white ibove the water line which have made them famous for their natty appearance After rranv experiments with different shades of colors a shade which may be described as slate has been adopted as more seiviceable and as tendering the shies less visible at a distance which is of course of advantage in time of war Tie paint will be applied with a fiat surface which in painters parlanc distinguishes It from a glossy surface vvl i reflects the light Orders have already been given io apply the new paint to the battleships New Hampshire Idaho and Missl sippi and the armored cruisers Montana and North Carolina of the third or home squadron of the Atlantic fleet and to the three scout cruisers Birmingham Chester end Salem No decision has yet been made is to whether the slate color should bs applied to raval yachts converted cruisers auxiliary vessels supply ships and yard tugs and whether torpedo craft shall have the slate color in place of the dark ollv which has been pronounced so satisfactory In the1 case of these vessels It Is a question whether the Navy Department will recommend to Corgreis the provlslen of any more scout cruisers of the type of the Birmingham Chester and Salem which wer completed by their builders and plated in commission which time the case has been 1m wltmn tiie Ia month At any rate in rtSr 2 bl1altlIJ requests for additional vessels of this VL ho lll 1 vaav mi i iiiaut uuiii uie scouts have been tried out in service for some they will be Issued under the supervision of the commandant of the corps Like the navy officers will havj to pny for their badges and enHsil men will re celve them free of charge A case of heroism on the part of i marine has recently come to the atten tion of Maj Gen George Elliott commandant of the marine corps It ls that of private John Schaller and is told in an official report from the com mander of the marine brigade in tho Philippines at Manila The report says On the evening of August 23 1908 while the Luneta was crowded with carriages during the band hour the horsese attached to the carriage of Mr de Glazebrook a British subject residing at Manila containing the wife and children of Mr Glazebrook were frightened by an auto mobile and were running away Private Schaller pushed his way through ths crowd of onlookers and as the horses came toward him started to run and was able to reach the rim of the victoria top which was down By this means he swung himself into the vehicle the driver having been previously thrown to the ground stepped out on the pole of the carriage and grasped the check reins of the horses and attempted to stop the horses in this manner Both reins broke however and Private Schaller thoroughly cool and self possessed and at great danger to himself leaped astride one of the horses and leaning forward took hold of the bit rings an1 eventually brought the horses to a standstill Private Schaller modestly declined to give his name but his identity was later disclosed and this morning Mr and Mrs Glazebrook appeared at these headquarters and presented Private Schaller with a handsome gold watch with the following inscription To Private John Schaller from Mr and Mrs de Glazebrook In grateful recognition of his heroism on the Luneta Manila I on August 23 1908 The Secretary of the Navy has sent a commendatory letter to Private Schaller he has been officially commended by the commandant of the marine corps and ne has been promoted to corporal In recognition of his bravery Another case of herosm which has been lately broght to the attention of the officials is that of Private Walter Calt a recruit enlisted in the marine corps at Chicago on September last He was on his way from the recruiting station In that city to the marine barracks at Brooklyn when the Chicago and New York train on the Erie Railroad upon which he was traveling was wrecked nine miles from Meaaviue a at 2 oclock on the morning of September 13 Private Calt escaped without in Jury and immediately entered into the work of rescuing injured passengers His conduct was reported to the marine corps officials by a fellow passenger John Dewar of Pittsburg Mr Dewar said in a letter to the commanding officer of marines at the Brookljn navy yard I was quickly joined by four men one of them a young man Walter Calt by name who proved himself a hero With exceptional coolness and totally disregarding his personal safetly he led the rescuing party into the body of the wreck by tunneling bringing out tne different ones some in a terrible condition Taking the time and stuatlon into consideration accompanying a disaster of this character his general behavior marks hm a man equal to the emergency Private Calt was sent commendatory letters by the commandant of tfl marine corps and by the general passenger agent of the Erie Railroad and all the correspondence in the case has been placed on his record at the headquarters of the marine corps Capt Thomas Holcomb Jr of the marine corps attached to the marine barracks this city has been relieved from duty there and from duty at the White House and ordered to proceed to the marine barracks Mare Island Cal with a detachment of marines He will proceed thence to Peking China for duty with the battalion constituting the United States legation guard at that place Capt Harry Lav of the marine corps attached to the marine barracks in th cltv will succeed Capt Holcomb on duty at the White House Much attention is being given by navy medical officers to the care of the eyes of officers and men of the naval service particularly to those of gun pointersv This is a subject of instruction to young medical officers at the naval medical school In this ctj The matter has also been recently taken up by the British admiralty AND MRS THOMAS EVANS GREENE propose to form Washington Opera Club along the same line as the Philadelphia Operatic Society The plan will be to form a self supporting organi sation consisting of GO or so members and to have la addition to the usual officers a musical director stage director and ac companist Rehearsals and meetings will be held In some public place as a private horse would be too small for the purpose The plan Mr and Mrs Greene have in mind calls for a serious company which will work hard to achieve good results and one in which the directors and managers shall be professionals and persons of long experience in the stage and opera business Should the organization come Into being and work successfully along artistic lines It might become the instrument through which the Metropolitan Opera Company could carry out in Washington the plan of the new director Glullo Gatti Casaxzu who desires to have local opera choruses formed throughout the country for the performance of new operas tho principal to be furnished from the Metropolitan Mrs Greene will leave town

ilaj John BIddle Porter cf the Judge advocate generals department on duty at the War Department has completed a revision of the army court martial manual The new edition which has been brought up to date will soon be issued to the service Many important questions will come before the national board for the promotion of rifle practice when its annual meetlngls held in this city in January Among them is the proposition to pro months after the completion of comparative runs which are about to be commenced Naval experts have offered much criticism of the scout cruisers not because they are believed to De inefficient in any way or because they fall to come up to expectations as to speed So far as may be Judged from the rues of the scoots already made they fully realized by their performances all that was expected of them It has become question of the employment of scouts in tho opera Hows This We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured bv
