C. Hemphill, in the North American Review.) Mr. Garrison's administration of the War Department has been dis tinguished by justice, hard work, com mon sense and courage. For the first time in the history of the department, the Secretary of War has no favorites. One who is unfamiliar with military administration cannot appreciate the baneful effect of political and personal favoritism operating on the army nepotism in the shape of unjustified promotion of the relatives of men powerful in Congress, the squandering of money for army posts in the most ill-adapted places, the pulling and hauling of politicians to secure details, favors, appointments and promotions for their proteges. AH these things have been eliminated by Mr. Garrison and by very simple means. Every time a representation was made by anyone seeking preferment for any officer of the army the matter was called to the attention of the office concerned to avow or disavow any knowledge of or connection with the representations made in his behalf. If the officer were of any complicity, ipse facto he became ineligible for the preferment or promotion sought. The public or private individuals who made the representations were politely in formed that military preferment must be for military reasons and that the injection of personal, social or politi cal influence from the outside was not desired and would only result in in jury to the person in whose behalf the pressure was applied. Within the army itself steps were taken to break tip any possible influence or clique or faction. On the constructive side Mr. Gar rison framed the act for the govern ment of the Panama Canal. He was the creative mind behind the water power legislation now before Con gress. He supported the new organic act for Porto Rico and took an influ ential part in the discussion for Phil ippine legislation. He presented to the last Congress conservative and constructive measures for the increase and improvement of the military "es tablishment, urging them on the i ground that they were the steps which should be taken in any circumstances, vas they would fit with any wise and adequate military policy that might H.

SINKING OF HEALING SPRINGS MOUNTAIN About one acre near the foot of the east side of Healing Springs Moun tain, r.i Eigh-. of Brinkle's Ferry on the Yadkia Jilvrr, near High Rock station in Di'vMson county has sunk en down recently. The land has fallen down from dve to fifteen feet for a distance of 50 yards along the side of the mountain. The broken edges of the earth where the land has fallen can easily be seen from the railroad at High Rock. Below the place where the land has broken away there are cracks here and there in the soil, eight inches wide and less, extend ing for several feet, and the smaller cracks branching out from these lar ger cracks in the earth. In places over the land affected the land has risen up, some of which appears to be ten feet high. Large stones have rolled down the mountain side. The vegetation is dead on the edges of the cracks, but does not seem to be hurt elsewhere. Some pf the cracks in the earth are eight feet or more in depth. 150 yards below where the land broke loose and sunk from 5 to 15 feet here tofore was a spring wherein the wa ter was cold and refreshing but is now as warm as branch water on the hot test summer day. Healing Springs Mountain is two miles long and extends within 200 yards or less of the Yadkin River. Some three weeks ago more than one family heard a rumbling noise one night which could not be accounted for. Mr. G. F. Morefield, of Lexington, who visited the place yesterday, fur nished The Courier wilth the facts we give. Mr. Morefield says that there have evidently been two eruptions, for in some of the cracks grass has begun to grow, while others seem to be fresh and seem to have been made recently, only .one rain having fallen since they were made. Mr. Morefield's theory of the sink ing of the earth is that there is un derneath a large subterranean cave or cavern, for it has long been said that during the' Civil war deserters hid in a cave on this mountain.

C. Hammer has instituted suit for eleven tracts of timber land in Macon county, com prising 2,987 acres and valued at $73,456.65 which will be acquired by the government under condemnation proceedings. More than 400 persons own the land and a summons will be served on each man by a deputy from the office of United States marshal. The land will be secured under the provisions of the Weeks bill, it being the belief of the Department of Ag riculture that the acquisition of the property is necessary to the protec tion of water courses in th Southern Appalachian mountains.

Main St. NATIONAL DEFENSE PLANS UNDER WAY Navy and War Departments Formu lating Methods to Meet any Emer gency Will Report to President. , President Wilson last week directed Secrataries Garrison and Daniels to report to him a program of national defense. Several weeks ago the President discussed the-question with his cabinet with the immediate re sults that both the War and Navy Departments began secret preparation of plans to meet any emergency and also to establish a permanent policy to be presented to Congress for ade quate national defense. It is indicat ed in official quarters that the deter mination to expediate such plans a3 were being made resulted from a consideration of the many possibili ties of the present international situa tion. President Wilson wishes to make the navy as efficient and as servicea ble as any in the world; to see the regular army adequately developed and equipped and the citizenry train ed to arms in a way consistent with American traditions and which will commend itself to practical and pa triotic men. The entire influence of the administration will be exerted when Congress meets to secure ap propriations adequate to establish the policy of defense that will be formu lated. It is believed that a military budget practically double that of last year will be presented. The army, it is believed will seek at least $200,000, 000 and the navy perhaps $250,000, 000. The War Department plans look to ward the development of a large re serve army with a minimum, it is said, of 500,000 men, with adequate provisions for the use of the militia and men who have previously served in the army.
