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. Ha and Representative Un
derwood are the men who have borne
the burden of tha battle, and have led
the Democratic party to victory in the
House."

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.

NEW TORK, Feb. 11. The cold snap
in the Eastern section of the country
which sent the mercury in many places
to lower figures than have prevailed
for years, was measurably broken to
day when the mercury rose to some
where near the normal Winter average.
The ice barriers In harbors along the

some places impossible.
Morning temperature readings were

New Tork harbor today was about as
nearly Icebound as it ever gets. The
surface of the bay was thick with
heavy Ice floes, and navigation was
difficult.
Suffering In the poorer quarters of
the city during the night was intense.
