C. Feb. 24. There has been much discussion lately among some miHury authorities, notably the inspector general of the army, in favor of having the government support entirely the Soldier' Home in the District of Colum bia, for the maintenance of which there is now a large sum in the National Trea sury as a result of the deduction of twelve and a half cent a month from the pay of all soldiers, active and retired, of the United State Army. It was urged that this depuction be discontinued ' on the ground that the fund has increaied to such an extent that it was bearing in terest amounting to more than $100,000 year, and that the soldiers might well be. spared further compulsory contribu tion for this purpose. The Board of Commissioners for the Soldier's Home, however, expressed itself opposed to any such change in the law, although it had already recommended that the deduction no longer apply to retired soldiers who under the law are not entitled to the benefits of the home, admission to which is limited to those wno have been honor ably discharged from the military service, to which class of course, soldiers on thi retired list do not belong. The pending army bill carries out this idea of relief for the retired soldiers, as recommended by the Board.' TO PROTECT ARTILLERY OBSERVERS ' Washinghington. D. C, Feb. 24 the army engineer who have charge pf the construction of buildings at the coast forts are engaged in an experiment to find a substitute for the small wooden buildings at each coast fort used in certain "plot ting." This' work has heretofore been don in the brick observing rooms, which are now found to be too damp to be oc cupied for that purpose. Wooden build ings are much better, but the'reie a menace in having such structures in the neighborhood of the guns, or where they are likely to be hit by the shells of the enemy. , This is especially so at Fort Wadsworth in New. York harbor, where there are some fifteen of these little wood en houses in a row, with spaces of only a few feet between them. A projectile falling in their vicinity would be likely to burn them down, and it is necessary to provide a structure which will be fire-resisting if not actually fireproof, and at the same time capable of standing the tre mendous blast and jar of a heavy gun fire, The. experts now have three new experimental hoysf. One of these has thin concrete walls, another is built of corrugated steel, while the third is a wooden structure covered with galvanized flat iron. Metal used in such conduction at a coast fort which would naturally be the target of any enemy's guns, will have to be painted to prevent them from re flecting the sunlight - .
