CHANGE IN COAST ARTILLERY Wil Follow Experiment In Administration In New London District—Will Reduce Number of Staff Officers And Enlisted Men In All Coast Defenses. (Spectal to The Bulletin) Washington, July 11.—Effective Au- gust 1, a unit system of administra- tion for all coast defense commands will be put into effect by the chief of Coast Artill he decision to make this sweeping change in the adminis- tration of the Coast Artillery is the re~ sult of & years experiment conducted in the New Lonlon district by Lieut. Colonel Richmond P. Davis, C. A. C. Colonel Davis' experiment proved to be so satisfactory in almost every re- spect that the secretary of war has directed that it be cxtended to all coast defenses. Reduction of Expenses. The result of the change will be the reltef of staft officers and enlisted men in all of the coast defenses. In the New London experiment five staff offi- cers and 15 enlisted men were relieved. There is also a great reduction in the of administrating and operat- ing coast artillery posts In the New London district the expense of one bakerg, one store house, one commis- sary, store and one quartermaster's storehouse were discontinued. It is im- possible to estimate what will be the corresponding reduction in all of the defenses or the money saving of the new organization. It is not expected that the organization in the New Lon- don district can be followed in all of its details, but the tentative adminis- The Uncas National Bank offers every accommoda- tion, consistent with safety and conservative banking || methods..

The district ordnance officer at Fert Wright per- formed similar duties with reference to this department. The district artillery engineer took charg> of all power plants, telephones, fire control in- stallation in the district, issuing such property as was necessary for the va- rious forts on memorandum receipts. The senior surgeon in the district was made responsible for medhal adminis- tration. All official communications concern- ing troops at Fort Terry were trans- mitted through the executive there, who initialed them below the signa- tures. The commanding officers of the or- ganizations at Fort Terry telephoned f their organizations to the district headquarters before 9 a. m. and mailed by the morning boat transcripts show- ing ail changes. A similar report was made by the sergeant-major at Fort Terry for the noncommissioned staff and prisons. All descriptions and - :- signment cgrds of the noncommi ed staff and hospital corps at Forts Terry and Mitchie were forwarded to the headquarters. Conclusions Drawn. In discussing the periments at New London, Colonel Davis concludes: “The results under some of the items are direct consequences of the unit system, but it is believed more logical ate the items under practi- rather than direct conse- With respect to item 14, it may be stated that there has been no trouble whatever to quartermaster supplies. At times there has been inconyenience in the matter of commissary supplies, owitig to failure of boats to land and errors in delivery. There has been an occasional loss of packages and dam- ages to stores, the value of such loss- es which could pot be placed not ex- ceeding $75 for the year. Errors Now Very Rare. “At first these errors and damages were comparatively frequent, but now very rare.

All said that the company service was satisfactory, one that he had occasional trouble with his personal service. He could only remember one trouble at a time. It was an insignificant item which has no bearing. Summing Up. “To sum up, the advantages and dis- advantages of the unit system may be outlined as follows: Advantages—1, simplicity; 2, flexi- bility: 3, economy; 4, release of several officers from office work; 5, diminution of records and correspondence; 6, de- crease of clerical force; 7, decrease of other administrative employes; 8, uni- formity of system and methods result- ing in a more homogenous command. GOVERNOR WILL VISIT TROOPS AT NIANTIC Will Be There Wednesday—“Battle” Will Be Fought Thursday. Governor Baldwin it was announced Friday will go to the state camp at Niantic on Wednesday of mext week when the First and Second regiments will be under canvass there. It is ex- pected that -he will stay cver night, returning to New Haven some time Thursday. As this is the first camp here since 1911 it is expected to be of more than usual interest. The five Hartford companies of the First infantry, C. N. G., with the san- itary troops and the Hartford detach- ment of the First company, Signal corps, will leave Hartford for the an- nual tour of duty in the field at 6.50 a. m. Monday. The troop train will run special direct to Niantic where the camp has already been pitched . The men will go to camp in full field equipment, carrying their blanket rolls and shelter halves for use when the troops are moved out of the per- manent camp for manoeuvre work late in the w No dress or full dre uniforms figure in this party. The di- verting, albeit somewhat distracting old days of white collars and cere- monies, with all the organized militia marching past the governor and all the equally organized politicians drill- ing energetically around state head- quarters are far in the past.

Two years ago the First went to the Niantic res- tion on the week following the Second’s tour of duty. There are to be other mnovelties in this year's encampment, too. Hith- erto the field work has consisted largely of advance and rear guard ex- ercises, outpost duty and the like, Much blank ammunition has been shof into the horizon and no little valuable perience gained. But it is believed the guard has learned this part of its lesson, just as it has learned to take care of fitself in the open, san- itate its camps, cook its own food and otherwise behave itself in the fashion of soldiery. This time it is proposed to place emphasis upon exercises in combat. The officers will have an op- portunity to show how they conduct themselves in attack. officers of the regular army will be in attendance to watch them, three including Lieut. Townsend Whelen, Twenty-ninth in icut regiments, serving with the in- fantry, one with the sanitary troops and one with the Signal corps. The men will sleep in the new con- ical khaki colored tents, which can shelter a whole squad, and which were nsed for the first time two years ago. Their meals will be prepared by the regularly enlisted cooks, of which each company carries two. On Thursday it is expected that the troops will move out of camp in heavy marching order, bivouacking for the night in such lo- cation as the tide of the “battle” may force. There will be some interesting clashes with an indicated or repre- sented enemy. Perhaps it may be de- cided to have the two regiments do battle with eaeh other. They will re- turn to the Niantic camp on Friday Brig. Gen. George M. Cole, the ad- jutant general, will be in_command of the camp with Col. W. E. F. Lan- ders, assistant adjutant general, as ad- jutant. Col. Hickey will be senior line officer present, outranking Colonel McCbe, commanding the Second. Siberian Dogs. Six Siberian dogs have arrived on the Jungfraujoch, in Switzerland, and will be employed in drawing sledges up the Jungfrau mountain and across the Aletsch glacier, after they have been trained to the work by M. Zochokke, a Polish expert. The idea is to give vis- itors to Switzérland in summer a glimpse of life in the snow and ice- bound districts of Siberia and Green- land. This is the first time that dogs have mounted to so great a height | (11,000 feet) in Switzerland, and it is | an ‘interesting experiment. Quick, Watson, the Needle!
