British army was eliminated. They had
none of the usual housemaid's work of
the barracks and lackey work for of
ficerS to perform. The cooking, pota-
to peeling, emptying of slops and such
work was done for them that they
might devote the whole of their time
to soldering No attention was paid
to the attainment of mere military
frills No efforts were wasted to OBJ
tain an appearance of smartness.
NO CHEST EXPANSION
experts declare, often Injurious artificial
chest expansion exercises so vigorously
insisted on in the regular army were
entirely discarded. This system of set
ting up" soldiers is analogous to that
adopted by London poulterers in ampli-
flying the breasts of scraggy chickens.
In both cases the results are equally
delusive. Just as the customer is pre-
sented with a bopy bird whose skele-
ton has been distorted until 1t presents
the appearance of plump, well-fed
fowl, so the British taxpayer is pre-
sented with battalions of apparently
broad-chested, straight backed SOL
diers, whose stalwart appearance has
been obtained often by deranging their
breathing apparatus and damaging
their hearts.
BY concentrating on essentials Colo
mel Pollock was able, within the pre-
scribed six months, to train his minia-
ture army in drill, in tactical exercises,
in shooting, signaling. gymnastics,
trenching, bridge building. and a dozen
other matters which the modern soldier
must understand, IL he is to be compe-
tent in his work. In that most impor-
tant of all the branches of a soldiers
misunderstanding, the men, despite
the fact that the majority of them had
never fired a rifle before, attained a
higher average standard of marksman-
ship than obtains in the ranks of the
regular army. They were all greatly
improved, physically, morally and intel
lectually, by their six months training
better equipped than when they began
for the serious business of earning a
livelihood in whatever occupation they
might follow.
MOVE is IMPORTANT
To make it clear that the experiment
touches military questions of vital mo-
ment, and, indeed. in the words of the
King, of national Importance" some
explanation is necessary. England can
not afford to maintain both a navy and
a regular army adequate to the needs
of the empire. Her peculiar position
renders 1t necessary that she should
have much bigger and hence much
more costly navy than any other power
On that all parties are agreed Small
as is her army, compared with the
armies of continental powers, her milf
tary expenditure, including the cost of

NEW MINES ASSURED.
Clay TaylOr's Farm Bought for
Town Site--0ptions
Being Recorded.

That Ohio County is soon to have
another mammoth coal mine with
water shipping facilities is now an
assured fact. The Green River Coal
and Mining Company Of Parkers-
burg. West Virginia, has purchased
the 400 acre farm of Clay Taylor on
Green river at Taylortown at con-
sideration of $4,000, and will use
it, it is understood. for town site
and opening for the mines.
AS further evidence that some
thing definite is to be done or is be-
ing done it is noted that options
covering thousands of acres of min
eral land adjacent to the Tay.or farm
have been acquired by the Green
River Coal and Mining Company
and are now being recorded in his
office by County Clerk Tinsley.
1t is not known exactly at what
time active operation of the mines
will begin but it is the general be-
lief it will be in the near future.

Will Soon Be Ready to Move Into
---Will Be Modern and
C0mm0diouS.

We will be In our headquarters
within ten days. The work of
undermining and identifying them
is now well underway, and when
completed we will have magnificent
headquarters-in fact, THE REPUB-
LICAN prides itself on having the
most up-to-date newspaper head
quarters in the State outside of the
city dailies.
To give an idea of the commodious
rooms we are to occupy, we
will give the dimensions of the
various departments: Printing of
flee 23x37 it.; press room 22x3O it,;
public Office l6x20 it,; and editorial
office 1lxl5 fit. At present THE Re-
PUBLICAN is occupying an excellent
building and desirable newspaper
office, especially erected for newspa-
per plant but the room is inadequate
for the increased business of the
paper. Hence it became necessary
for us to remove to more commo-
modious quarters. The move will
take us only two doors, on the same
street, from our present location, but
We feel that the change will be a
good one as we can serve our pat
rons better ard in a more satisfacto-
nv manner.
