GENERAL WOOD WOILD fiET RIM OF ARMY OFFICER. FAVORS CHANGE OF SYSTEM Traaafer of Staff to the I.lne One Recommendation, and a H- establishment of the Canteen Another. WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. The res-toration of the army canteen and en-uctment of legislation for the elimination from the United States army of unfit officers are among the principal recommendations of Major General Leonard Wood, chief of.

staff, in his annual report made public today. General Wood likewise recommends the concentration of the army on strategic lines and In Areas where it can be more economically maintained, and would transfer all the personnel of the staff corps, excepting engineers, medical officers and chaplains to the line, Increasing accordingly the number of the general officers and line officers In the different grades. The transfer of tho personnel of staff officers to tho line. In General Wood's opinion, "would terminate tho constant struggle between line and staff, a struggle as old as the army and one which promises to continue. There would bo no interference with promotion, nor would tho members of the present staff corps lose any of their present advantages.

There would he more co-operation and greater efficiency." Plan of Elimination. Discussing means for the cliinlnn-tlor. of unfit officers, tho chief of staff says: "The full efficiency ol an organization of men cannot be secured with out a system by which the merits of the individuals shall have some effect upon their advancement. "The army has long suffered from the lack of such a system." the general continues. "Up to the grade of colonel promotion Is entirely byv seniority in each branch and there la no way under the law by which an officer, no matter what his merit, ran lie advanced a single number except by making him a general officer.

Conservative opposition Is most to there is Jealous fear of the effects of favoritism, but this would dlsappeur under (he Influence of a proposition of law to place the selections where they belong, In the hands of the service Itself, which surely is worthy of the trust, by lodging it with boards of of-licers so chosen as not to be person ally affected by their decisions and sworn to act In accordance with the best interests of the scrvlne. "The great majority of the officers of the army," said General Wood, discussing the canteen question, "are of the opinion that the re-establishment ol the canteen under proper supervision would tend to improve the health, ambulance companies. By this stand-through dismissing intemperance and Immorality. I concur In this opinion." Question of Desertions. General Wood encounters an old difficulty In trying to solve the yues-tlon of the fluctuation in the number of desertions from year to year.

Last year the desertions numbered 3,101, an Increase of 897 over the year preceding. 'It Is probable," he observed, "that many young men enlisted last year with an expectation of field service which was gratified." For the first time Major Wood in his report Is able to present to congress a detailed plan of the organization. General Wood's plan provides that the first IncremenU-of -the skelet ton fluid army shall be two regiments of Infantry, six battalions of Held artillery, one field company of signal troops, five field hospitals and five ambulance companies, this standard Is at present a vast short age of field artillery, not only for the army, but for the militia. The proper proportion of field guns Is 3:16 per 1.000 cavalry and infantry and on this basis there Is at present a deficit of 213 guns or tho material for these regiments In the regular army, while the militia is short 517 git8. Moreover, there is no provision for effective servtcs-of mun Itlon.

and many of the guns would, in a single days fight, use all the ammunition which can now be carried for them. Therefore, General Wood, referring to the military maxim that superiority of fire is needed before troops can advance over the field, adds that If we do not have this additional artillery the armies are destined to ultimate defeat. He also calls attention to the fact that many states refuse to include a proper proportion of field artillery end cavalry In their militia because of the expense, and he suggests that 1 erenfter congress definitely appropriate money which can only be used by the states for the organization of these arms OIL COMPA1Y OVEH-ACTIVE. Accused of Inflnenolng Members ot Osage Tribal Council. WASHINGTON, Jan.

3. Seven members of the Osage Indian tribal council were removed from office by Secretary of the Interior Fisher who alleges in a statement thnt the council wns Influenced, by the Tncle Sam Oil company and three Individuals ap plicants who hnd tried to secure the lensn of g.OOO.OOO acres of oil nnd gas lands, comprising the entire unleased portion of tho Osi.ge reservation. The secretary ordnrvd a new council electd the latter part of this month. The department of Justice has been Informed by tho secretary of the conduct of certain persons In connection with the obtaining of those leases from the Indian counvi! and asked to take such action us tho facts warrant. The Indian three of whose members were ordered out some time ugo, revised to obey Secretary Fisher's order In regard, to filling the vacancies, and this was another cause hlch led to today's action by the secretary.

The rooent- bid fnr 42.000 acres of Osie oil lands, said to have been the most favornble bid ever made for lease of Indian lands, was turned dovnhythe tribal council, and the powerful influence of the previous ap pllcants is allege', by- the secretary lo have been responsible. Notwithstanding the fact that Ihe council was reiueted. In a petition signed by more ndult members of the Oeae tribe then voted for the council when It, was elected to grunt this favorable lease, it refused tc execute the lease.

It was learned, be adds, "that fnterc.su in some of the four lease had given -tn members of the Osage tribe, intermarried clt iaens of the trihe, attorneys and others.

WASHINGTON Jan. 3. The high coHt of battleships was explained today to tho sub-committee of the house naval affairs committee, preparing the naval appropriation bill, by Chief Constructor Richard Morgan Watt of the navy- department The chief constructor told the committee that the estlmites for battleships to be authorized this year's bill must be based on a cost of about (15,000,000 per fchip. A few yea.s ago the department procured new qhlps authorized for the increase of the navy for $10,000,000. Last year's bill appropriated on a basis of about $12,500,000 per ship.

Constructor Watt explained to the committee the requirements of the vessels to be authorized and asserted that the Increare in tonnage of big ships and, the Increase In armor and armament causer! the advanced price. The committee has not reached In Its the troublesome question of whether the bill will Include one, wo, or three battleships or none. A campaign already has been beg-un among members ot the house to reach an agreement to Include a single ship In the bill. This Is not meeting with favor nmoi.g- tho two-battleehlp men, and If they decline to compromise another fight will be begun to eliminate the increase of the navy from the bill entirely. GONDING.

Every Monday night she attended the meeting of the council and assisted the solons in keeping the village clean, neat and efflclcnL She took a deep Interest In the welfare of the hospital, the children's fresh air fund and the society for the proven tlonf ruelty to animals. She did all this gladlyand with unbounded enthusiasm.

Her heart swelled with pride to know that she was an integral and Indispensable factor of the civic welfare. Her only regret was that it took up her time. When the neighbors called she apologized profusely for the slatternly condition of herself, her house and hor children, saying that somehow Bhe simply couldn't find time to attend to them. And the neighbors would go eway 'and say it was strange that she could arrange the decorations of the church so beautifully and yet have practically no decorations at home. She would also apologise to her hus'-band, admitting the justice of all his complaints concerning the unkept stateof the house and the children, and promise that she would be able to get around to them as soon as the private theatricals for the benefit of homeless! pets were out of the way.

Her husband listened to all she said and pondered It well. He was a practical man and could Bee. that everything she said was the exact truth. So he said to himself: "Here I am married to the most popular woman in town, and I am extremely proud of the fact but I should not let my own petty concerns and comforts in terfere with those larger activities.
