Lack of Reserve Ammunition. There are weak epots in many direc- tions, he says, the most serious being the shortage of field artillery and am- munition, & fault which should be im- mediately corrected. General Wood de- clares there is a great lack of reserve sea coast ammunitfon and that at the present rate of appropriation by con- gress it will take mora than fifty years to obtain-a reasonable supply of am- Amnesty For Navy Mutineers VOTED BY CHAMBER OF DEPU- TIES, 114 TO 23.

Rio Janeiro, Nov. 25.—The chamber of deputies this evening, by a vote of 114 to 23, adopted a resolution granting amnesty to the mutinpus sailors on board the battleships Minas Geraes and Sao Paulo, the coast defense ships Marshal Florian and Marshal Deodora and the scout ship Bahia. The senate had unanimously passed the measure Thursday. Immediately after the lower house had votad to_pardon the sailors for having mutinied and killed several of their officers and thrown shells into the city President Fonseca authorized Deputy Carvalho to visit the Sao Paulo and confer with the mutineers. ‘The decision of the chamber was not R Boast Is Not a Business Boost It is safe to bet that a boasting advertisement is not a business booster. ‘The representation that the advertisers’ goods are better than ‘the goods of other merchants in the same line does not faverably im- prefs discriminating readers althrough this style of advertising is quite common.

Shortage in Field Artillery. 1f the regular army and organized militia at war strength were called to arms today, says General Wood, there would be & shortage of more than fifty per cent. in the field artillery necessary 1o equip them. “s this force would represent only a portion of the force called to arms in case of war with a first class power, the gravity of the situation becomes apparent at once. Volunteer Army in Time of War. General Wood strongly urges the passage by congress of the pending biil for raising a volunteer army in time of war. He says this will cost nothing in time of peace and will save the gov- ernment millions of doliars in time of war. The present law is so unsatisfac- tory and vague that the general stafl cannot make preparations in advance for its execution in event of war. Recommendations. Other mne2ds of the military service are set out in the report, including the addition of six hundred and ten officers to replace those detaifled from line du- ties for staff and militia work; the creation of a reserve of not less than three hundred thousand men who have served in the regular army or militia; the concentration of the army in large posts; the re-establishment of the can- teen, and finally the increase of the signal corps and the acguisition of aeroplanes.
