Official confirmation was made this week by the War Department of the statement made in this column last Sunday relative to the selections of general officers to fill the vacancies created by the retirement of Maj. Gen. Samuel D. Sturgis, vesterday, and that of Maj. Gen. Joseph E. Kuhn, who retired from active serv- ice . Friday on his own application, after more than 40 years' service.

MRS. CHARLES S. DEWEY, Treasury. Army and Navy News Simultaneously, the War Depart-| complished as soon as funds became available. Those who are acquainted with the operations of the Budget Bureau, however, point out that it will be some time before this will occur. No estimates, it ie said, are included in this year's budget for the beginning of the work. The establishment of a base on the Pacific coast for both airships, it is estimated, would cost $7,000,000 to $10,000,000, the hangar alone costing about $3,600,000. Decreased operating costs, the Secretary said, would result from the move to Ban Diego, the weather in this locality being more favorable to the operation of airships. Another favorable factor in this con- templated change in alrship bases is that the hellum source of supply is closer to San Diego than Lakehurst. Although all of the resuits of the recent exercises held off Hampton Roads and Nantucket between the Shenandoah and the U. 8. 8. Texas have not been made public, it is be- lieved that they convinced the Secre- tary that the Los Angeles and Shen- andoah are of real military value. So enthusiastic are some of the high 1anking officers of the Navy over the recent Texas-Shenandoah maneuvers that upon the Secretary's return t lead.

Bacon, New Yerk, but it was re- | ferred to the War Department for fur- ther study. Upon the convening of Congress in December, Mr. Bacon will Introduce the bill again, and in all probability the military _committee will conduct hearings on the measure before which Regular, National Guard, and Reserve officers will appear. En- actment of this bill at the approach- ing session of Congress would not ma- terlally increase the expenses of the military establishment. as this pro- vides that the additional officers would { come into the regular establishment in five increments. | The additional ~officers probably would not be secured within the next | calendar vear, it is pointed out, and in the event it becomes law and is | not included in this year's budget, two years will pass by before the first ipcrement will became effective. he additional officers are needed for the Washington they will recommend that ' We never quote com- parative prices—because of their tendency to mis- AUGUST the Los Angeles be ordered to Pacific waters to join the battleship fleet. Upon the return of Secretary Wil- bur to his duties in the Navy Depart. ment this month, he will immediately take up not only the Britten bill, which extends selection down to| lieutenants, but he will carefully con- sider the bill providing for the equal- ization of promotion between the line and staff. Approval has been given by the Secretary of the general prin- ciples of the equalization bill, but he has not yet committeed himself on the Britten measure. Representative Britten upon his re- turn from Europe, it is understood, will take the matter up again with the Secretary, the chief of naval opera- tons and the members of the gen eral board of the Navy. A marked change In the training policy of the Marine Corps will soon be placed into effect, due to the as- signment of Brig. Gen. Logan Feland, U. 8. M. C., to the Mafine Corps East Coast Expeditionary Force at Quan- tico, Va.,, where he will direct the training of the marines. The admin istration of general Marine Corps af- fairs at this station will be under the control of Maj. Gen. Ell K. Cole, U. 8. M. C., who will continue as com- | mandant of the Marine Corps bar- racks at this station. Under the new training policy, the artillerymen will be ordered to some nearby range, probably Camp Meade, Md., where they will simulate actual attle conditons and be given inten- sified training in gunne: A similar : 608 to 614 Northern Hudson Seal (dyed muskrat) Coats ; 46-inch lenyth; : skins of per{ect match: trimmed with Kolinsky, skunk, sable-dyed fitch; natural or dyed squirrel. $285'OO Limsted to the Sale.
