DWINDLING OF ARMY G VES CUE TO CRITICS Military Men Say Force Is Reduced Beyond Point of Safety for the Nation. ... r ; ..I NEED OP EEEOEM IN SERVICE Low Pay and Requirement of Hard " Practice Marches Are Main , Points of Attack. ' The War and Navy Departments ni trying to reach an agreement by which the marines are to be withdrawn from ' the Isthmus of Panama and two regl-' ments of infantry are to be sent to take j their places as guards. It Is fully ex pected that before loug two regiments or foot will be on their way to the canal zone. This diverting of army regulars to a new field will mean that the forces In the United States are to be depleted beyond that which officers believe to be the danger point The infantry problem is one of the most serious factors in the greater problem of the army's weakness. On paper we are supposed to have 30,000 infantrymen, but In truth we have noth ing like that number, and unless the increase of pay bill pass Congress, it Is perfectly evident that the ranks will be thinned still further. An army offi cer who knows conditions tells a Wash ington correspondent that in a case of emergency there would be less than 7,000 infantrymen who could be brought with anything like dispatch to any threatened point within the limits of he United States proper. There are two chief army measures now before Congress, one dealing with the matter of the increase of pay and the other dealing with the matter of the Increase of the Infantry. A corre spondent says there is precious little hope that both bills can pass., It prob ably would be folly to pass the second bill without passing the first, for It would be useless to provide for an in crease In the ranks if no Inducements were held out by which tue increase ould be effected. Objections to Army Life. Interviews with enlisted men dlsclos three chief objections to army life, and, In order of numerical precedent, they rank like this : Monthly practice marches. Poor pay. . ' Non-military duty required of the en listed men. Some of the ranking officers of the army have Inveighed constantly against what they call the folly of the frequent practice marches. The men are kept in fine physical condition and as hard as walnuts through the dally drills, the guard duty, the good food, and the reg ular living generally. Yet they are" compelled at least once a month to hike out on the road under heavy bur dens and trying conditions for the pur pose of keeping in trim so that they will be ready for the field in case of hostilities. The practice march, fairly long continued and to come at long in tervals, has Its uses, and the men like it; but they don't like It coming as it does every three or four weeks. COAL MINE EXPLOSION. New Theory Advanced aa to the Conditions Producing Them. Experts who have made investiga tions of the recent mine disasters, not ably those of Monongah and Jacob's Creek, have come to the conclusion that the explosions are caused by cli matic conditions. " Supporting the position taken, it is a noticeable fact, they say, tnat tne recent catastrophes have occurred at about the same hour in the day, in a sone of certain altitude, In about the same longitude and In places where climatic conditions are similar. The majority of the mines operated to day are below the level of the streams In the same sections, and, owing to the moisture, the outside air forced Into the mines by the fans has been laden with carbon dioxide moisture and oth er impurities: It Is suggested that If the air forced Into the mines was gathered from a higher stratum and was heated suffi ciently and otherwise treated to re move the impurities the accidents would be less numerous during the change of seasons. Proper ventila tion with this purified air, It Is be lieved, will remove to a great extent the coal dust and explosive gases which are found to a certain extent In every mine. The Nation's Inventory.

I is 01 course worm considering d me man looncg ior a locauon wneinei Western Oregm with its open winter. and freedom fiom (now and tero tem peratures does not offer epportunitiea for the production of eggs and poultry that are not found in Eastern and Mid dle West states. That poultry thrive in cold sections where snow and zero weather prevail is not to be denied, but the labor and expense of caring for them is undoubtedly greater there. To secure an egg yield in winter where the climate is severe entails more expense for housing and more care in the feed ing. It is probably true that the Final lest profits are made during the winter months though the prices are very much higher than in spring and sum mer, because the egg yield is so small from the average fleck as to leave little cr no margin of profit. It is also true that the egg yield is quickly affected by changes in the weather,' especially in the temperature. A sudden change from mild to cold weather means a certain check in the egg production, and although the weather soon moder ates it will often take several weeks before the egg yield gets back to where it was. The only way to prevent this is to provide housing that will protect the fowls from too sudden changes in temperature. This entails more ex pense in housing and consequently di minished profits, but what is of more importance is the highly artificial con ditions that it necessitates. It would appear therefore that there are certain advantages that this state possesses over sections of the country where zero weather and snow prevail. First, a milder climate and less severe changes in temperature than is oharao- toriritic c; Euhvra btutes. Second, in etc; 10ns of the state with no snowfall the poultry can rnge over the fields and 5nd animal food and green food which are often bard to get where the snow covers the ground, The heavy rainfall of Western Oregou and small percentage of sunshine may be set down as a disadvantage, but when the nature of the rainfall is nn derstood it is doubtful whether it is very mi cb of a detriment. Owing to the moderating influence of the Pacific- ocean theBe rains are warm and have not the chilling effect of the rains in Eastern states. The temperature of Western Oregon in the winter months is usually higher when it rains than when the sky is cloudless, and the fowls will usually be found out in the rain except when it is very heavy, which is nft often the case. One poul tryman in Marion county said to the writer in JSovember, before the rainy season set in, that he wished it would rain, because, ho said, his hens laid better when it rained. The explana tion of this, if it is true, may not be in the rain itself, but in the fact that it brings to the surface many angle' worms, which supply the lack of ani mal food in the ration. . Turkeys are successfully raised in Oregon, and turkey are known to be easily affei ted by rain, but the fact that the rains are warm no doubt largely accounts for the success in tur key raising in this state. Douglas county in Oregon produces several times more turkeys than the state of Rhode Island, noted for turkeys. Another thing in favor of the mild climate and freedom from snow is that the fowls are able to secure practically the year round all the green food neces sary in the fields. And finally, the fowls in their search for food in the uelds get the exercise which ic neces sary for it is worthy of mention in this connection that the largest special poultry district in the United States is found in Northern California, that has no snowfall. Ihat district Is somewhat similar to that of Western Oregon, with its open winters, mild and humid cli mate and neatness to the ocean. My investigations of the poultry in dustry of Oiegon have been confined to the western part of the state, the region west of the Cascade mountains. This section at the present time produces moid poultry products than the larger area of the state east of the Cascades. As the agriculture of Central and East ern Oregon becomes developed we may expect greater development of poultry keeping, and probably in time that great agricultural area may produce more poultry products than the older section of the fctate In Western Oregon. The climatic conditions are different ea?t of the mountains, the heavy rain fall is absent and snow covers the ground durinir part of the winter. The climate there is more characteristic of the Eocky mountain region, though no such severe weather prevails as in the Middle an! Northwestern stales. If it should prove that a dry climate with plenty of sunshine bat lacking the se vere winter changes of temperature of the East is the ideal one for proultry, we may expect a great growth of the ooultrv industry eact of the Cascader In Oregon. Undoubtedly on the grain ranches of Central and Eastern Oregon where food is cheap there is opportun ity foi great profit in poultry raising.
