WASHINGTON. Feb. 11. (Special.) The adjustment of the content in Mis souri between Speaker Clark and ex Governor Folk, on a basis that assures the Speaker at least half the Missouri delegation in the coming Democratic National convention and la regarded aa presaging the virtual retirement of Folk from the rare, ta viewed with special Interest In Washington be cause it la taken to mean that Clark has an extremely good chance to land the nomination for President. So far a the Taft supporters are concerned, tills is not regarded as bad news. They believe that Clark Is vulnerable. Among the candidates on the Democratic aide, thev are divided as to whether Clark or Woodrow Wilson would be easier to bet. If they were left to choose the candidate to run against, they agree. It would be one of the two men. The polnta of Wilson's weakness have been made plain In the recent past. The vulnerability of Clark, it Is thourht. lies in his proneness to blurt oat whatever may happen to be on his mind on a particular day or occasion. He haa done this In the past and he has made many utterances that will rise to haunt him. In the course of a campaign. It is thought, he would soon be Involved In a mase of contradictions. The Republicans believe they would have him on the- run" before he had been the nominee a week. Speaker's Popularity Caaeeae. The feeling- 'hat tha Democrat will not realise thla and will make the Speaker their candidate Is strong. Bry an, regarded aa personally leaning to ward Wilson, is not unlike Clark in many respects. Even in tha parta of the South where It la asseverated that the people have had enough of Bryan and Bryanlsm. there Is not the same objection to the same sort of views as Bryan enunciates, when Clark la the author of them. There is no doubt of the speaker's popularity among a large class of Democrats, and the fact that ha appeals to a widely differing num ber la evidenced by the fact that only recently ex-Senator Pettlgrew. of South Dakota, was added to the Hat of his supporters. Pettlgrew, having made a great deal of money in recent yeara and having lost none of bis taste foe politics. Is counted on ss being a friend worth having- in a pinch of political necessity. Meanwhile. Clark Is making friends with the conservative elementa of his party because of the teamwork he is doing with Chairman Underwood, of the ways and meana committee of the House. This reputation for conserva tism is undeserved, but it stands the speaker in good atead In many quar tera. It grows out of the fact tha Vnderwood la tha conservative, rela tively apeaklng. and that Clark la not raising any disturbance about It for the obvious poMUcml reason that it would cot do to force a party split on the eve or a general election. wemlaatlow eriely Expected. There Is no disguising the fact that the rank and file of the party he regard Clark seriously, and that a good ly portion of them believe he will be the nominee that the party will turn to him after falling to muster a two thirds vote for any of the other can didates. There la meanwhile an Interesting persistency on the part of the Alabama delegation and some others in keeping the came of Mr. Cnderwod to the front. Mr. Underwood's candidacy has been expressed succinctly in a statement by Ins colleague. Representative Richard son, of the Eighth Alabama District. in which Mr. Richardson says: "I believe with the people of Ala hama that our candidate a chances have been greatly strengthened in the laat few weeks. Alabama is going to Bal timore with the determination to stick to Representative Underwood from the first ballot, believing that when the conrentlon finds It cannot get the nec every two-thirds vote for another can riidate. it will turn to Representative Underwood aa the moat available man. The fact that Mr. Underwood la a resi dent of Alabama is not going to In jure his chancea. I honestly believe that the great American people have passed the period when sectional feel ing operates against the political ambi tions of any cltlxen. whether he be of Alabama or New York. "Besides Alabama. Representative Underwood win have in the Baltimore convention the votea of Georgia, Mis sissippi. South Carolina and probably Tennessee a pretty good showing. I think. Understand, our Alabama dele gation haa no aecond choice. It occurs to me that of the other aspirants for the nomination. Speaker Clark Is tha strongest.

Practice In Handling I.arjre Bodies of Men Over Wide Areas to Be Aim Northwest to Con centrate on Sound. WASHINGTON, Feb. 11. In the In terpretation of an alliance by Congress of the War Department's estimate of $1,350,000 for the Joint maneuvers next Summer of the regular Army and the organised militia. Brigadier-General Evans, chief of the Division of Military Affairs, has Just communicated with the Adjutant-Generals of California. Oregon, Washington. Idaho, Arlsona. New Mexico and Utah to ascertain def. initely the number and kind of troops each state will be able to furnish-. The small appropriation available for the transportation of the regular troops limits the number that can take part, but the War Department is hope ful that It can find a way later to Increase the number, perhaps by ask ing the Governors of the states men tioned to call upon their Legislatures to supplement the funds supplied by the National Treasury. Coast to Have Two Camps. On the Pacific Coast the purpose Is to establish two maneuver camps, one near San Francisco, the other In the Puget Sound region. The first men tioned camp will be manned by regu lars from the Presidios of San Francis, co and Monterey with the militia of California, Utah, Arizona and possibly New Mexico, and the last will be sup plied by regular troops from Vancouver Barracks, Boise Barracks and Forts George Wright and Lawton. reinforced by the National Guard of Oregon, Washington. Idaho and Montana. Both camps nominally will be commanded by Major-General Arthur Murray, com manding the Paclfio Division, but each will be directly under the Department Commander, Brigadier-General R. H. Brush. In California, and Brigadier General M. P. Maus. In Washington. General Murray, will act as chief um pire. Navy May Take Part. In each camp there will be two con tending armies, each composed of a reinforced brigade of both regulars and militia. The red Army will act as de fenders. The blue will represent a foreign force safely landed on the coast and seeking to penetrate the in terior. The Navy may take part, both offensively and defensively, wflh the oretical attacks on the seacoast forti fications. The maneuvers will continue eight days, but are designed as camps of Instruction for officers snd men rather than as tests of endurance. Marches will be limited to 10 or 12 miles a day, and the main bodies will have ample rest at night. While reconnaissance is kept tip for the approach of the enemy, brigade problems will be worked out. Then, as the forces approach, oppor tunity will be afforded to test the re sourcefulness of subordinate officers In moving their commands through diffi cult country, each army commander be ing kept in Ignorance of the- other s movements by so timing the programme ror eacn day as to forestall its antici- i pation by tha morning newspapers. Large Area to Be Covered. It Is the Intention of the general staff to make the manueuvers a prob lem In larger tactics, operating the forcea over as large an area of coun try as possible. Every facility will be given officers of the lower grades to profit by practice in working out small tactical problems, and even enlisted men will be encouraged to show their Initiative, while experience of the ut most value in handling supplies and feeding troops will be gained by the staff departments. But above all will be afforded the much needed opportunity for practice to commanders in handling large bod es in the field. As the necessity for such exercises Is mperatlve, and as the seriousness of such mistakes as arise in the handling of large forces In the field can be earned only by personal experlenoe. every effort to Induce Congress to make the necessary appropriation will be urged by military experts and all who are Interested In the Nation's defense.
