It is proposed to tisp this mound ai» a manoeuvre ramp for the jiurjiosp of summer rattans of the reg ular army and th. militia in the Department of the. East. Thp trart s^lpotod consists of about 2\fl<>> acres, nrd can bo obtained, it is found, for JIIO/KX). el'houch the estimate of the experts is that the lpn.i is not worth more than naif thai num.

CJenerril Oliver, the Assistant Secretary of War. who Is president of the National Board for the Promotion •f Rifle Practice, is much interested in the subject, and believes that the proper presentation of the plan will he attractive to the school authorities all over the country. It is desired to Interest school boys over thirteen years of age in the subject of rifle practice. ]!•■ finds there are *>15 schools in New York with nhout six hundred thousand pupil. fr.alf of them boys, who should be encouraged to takf» up r:f:.- practice and become proficient in narkMnanship. The number of boys attending hiph schools is more than ten thousand, and the College of the City of New York alone has about four thousand male students. The War Depart ment authorities believe that much good work will bo done in this preliminary training for military fservice, in addition to engaging the attention of the boys in exerdss which is good for them on general principles. It is also proposed to organize the public schools into an athletic league In each edu cational centre. The War Department intends to lend its aid in every possible way to anything «-hirh will bring the youth of the" country to a y.r..[i«-r appreciation of th« value of marksman eblp. , FROM MANIT.A VIA EUROPE.— Army officers Vho are on duty In the Philippines and are to re turn to the United States .ire often desirous of coming back by way of the Kasaern route.

General Leonard "Wood made the recom jnendation some months ago In favor of granting this authority, and the Secretary of War has now decided that this may be done. Officers who are coining home from the Philippines may have leav* of absence, if it is due thc-m, to the extent that will enable them to return to the United States by v.-ay of Asia and Europe, proceeding as they plea6e Vithia the allotted time and at their own expense beyon I the cost -.. lii.-ii would be borne by the gov ernment if they returned on a transport via San Francisco.
