O. W. Boschke. uncompensated ad visory engineer, and G. IJ. Hegardt. chief engineer of the dock commission, ! lieve that the pinch piling driven at the northeast corner and along the east side of the storage annex or grain bins will furnish a permanent corrective. W. R. Phillips, a member f ths board of advisory engineers, employed by the commission after the elevator structure began to subside, disagrees with Mr. Boschke and Mr. Hegardt and holds that the foundation can only stabilised by using soma adequate means to remove the great weight of the build ing from the ooze into which the founda tion piles were drivtn without prelim inary bonings to find bed rock or solid gravel. Mr. Phillips has written a let ter to the dock commission, in order to protect his reputation as engineer, declaring that In his judgment the driving of the pinch piles will not permanently stop the subsidence of the building. Mr. Phillips' letter to the dock com mission reaqa as ioiiowb: "In my report of April 5th I say : "It is my opinion that it would be ad visabla to, in an experimental way, ex pend a limited amount for the driving of piles to find out If the downward movement of the storage annex might not be checked. ' "Since the termination of my connec tion with the committee that had the matter of the subsidence in hand. have still continued to plot the curve relative to subsidence at the northeast corner of that structure, and as this curve indicates clearly that the expert ment has been a failure, I would ask that you' will not consider my opinion as then given, as having a bearing upon whatever further pile driving you may choose to do with a view to so check ing subsidence." A suggestion originally made by Mr. Phillips that the weight of sand between the elevator floor and the concrete mat set on top the pile foundations be with drawn is to be followed by the commis sion and a wall is to be built to keep the water out when the sand is removed.

Washington, May 31. (I. Nt S.) The army poets of the West are be aban doned in the event that congress passes legislation embodying the recommenda tions of the war department. General' Peyton C. March, chief of staff, an nounced at his weekly conference today, f. very few of these posts would be re tained, he stated, and only as hospitals where men in the service whoso physical condition demanded high altitudes could be sent. . Elaborating on his recent testimony before the house military affairs com mittee, OeneralrMarch stated that It was the plan of the - department to have skeletonised divisions stationed at those cantonments which are to be retained and to recruit men from the vicinity of each camp. COJIP9 MAJfECYEltS PROPOSED These skeleton divisions, he said, would be filled to -war strength in the event of an emergency by drawing upon men who will have received training under any plan congress may authorise. Drill and maneuvers would be held In division formation at stated Intervals, and for every five divisions there would be a corps commander, and once a year there would be corps maneuvers. The old Hay-Chamberlain bill is en tirely inadequate for the present needs of the army. General March stated. This measure provides for only 175,000 com batant troopB which, with the other branches, would bring the total to only about 230,000. Besides, there are no provisions for the branches that have been added since the war, touch as avia tion, tank corps, traffic etc Inci dentally, General March stated that the general staff has added aviation aa the fourth arm ofthe military service. Here tofore only three arms infantry, cav alry and artillery were recognised. EW RECORD IK MOVEMENT The number of men actually landed from France during May exclusive of today is 817,116, constituting a new rec ord for the movement of troops either from or to France in a single month, liighty per cent of these, the general added, returned in American ships. The army is now 62 per cent demobil ized. 2,276.299 officers and men having received their discharges. Enlistments now total 42,669, the majority of which were for three year terms. Twenty-five full divisions and seven skeleton divisions have been returned to the United ' States, General March said. The 81st is. sailing from Brest and the 90th from St. Nazaire, which will leave only seven regular army divisions on the otner sjdee. General March warned, that the "Vic tory ribbon"., being sold throughout the country is faulty in design and therefore worthless. These ribbons will be Issued by the war department just as soon as the department contracts are delivered. Casow- Will Sail Soon San Francisco, MaV 81. (I. N. &) The little schooner Casco, formerly Rob ert Louis Stevenson's romantic South Sea graft, now manned by a number of au venturous souis wno plan an expedi tion to Alaska and Siberia, Is expected to sail today.
