ENORMOUS SUPPLIES. iThe Navy Department is working at greater pressure than at any time since the Spanish-American war. The pre-, parations being made for the journey uf the battleship squadron around the Horn to Pacific waters is occupying the at tention of every one in the Department, froth Secretary Metcalf down. The enor mous quanity of foodstuffs necessary for the trip is keeping busy scores of clerks and quartermasters, while the higher officers have been compelled1 to exert a personal supervision over the purchase of these supplies. Every safeguard is being taken to prevent the possibility of the slightest breath of scandal being stirred in connection" with the contracts. Some idea of what is being done may be gathered from the fact that 1,000,000 pounds of fresh meat and 1,000,000 bar rels of flour have been bought as part of tho food supplies. There are 15,000 men and 800 officers to feed, and the amount of provejniter necessary for this big army is enormous.

The foot, that the George Washington University is main taining as' part of its organization a col lege of the political sciences in which such men, are trained, gives the govern ment an excellent and accessible recruit ing field.
