paid and a clean administration given

of the machine Democracy.

inent fitness for the office, his broad
craftsmanship and his long service in

CONSUMPTION IN ARMY
OR MORE PAY TO MEN.
Enforced Service Faces American
People, Declares Adjutant
General Ainsworth.

Unless radical measures are enacted
to induce men to enlist In the United
States army, conscription must be re-
sorted to, declares Major General f. c.
Ainsworth, adjutant general, in his an
nual report.
Notwithstanding the most strenuous
efforts on the part of the War Depart
ment and the recruiting officers" says
General Ainsworth, lit has been found
impossible wholly to make good the
enlisted strength to the authorized linn
Ii. II present conditions continue there
will be nothing for the government to
do but meet this competition by mate
rally increasing the soldiers pay or
TO evade competition altogether by a
resort to conscription.'
Never before has such a suggestion
come from an officer clothed with the
authority to make recommendations.
The idea of compulsory enrolment of
individuals for the military service has
been held abhorrent to republican prin-
ciples and the absence of such q law
is one of the most forccful arguments
used in attracting desirable immigra-
tion from Europe.
Officials of the War Department an
ticipate that the possible necessity for
such action outlined by General Aims
worth will prove eficacious in securing
cOuSiIpration by ConpracS of tho i'm
crease of pay bill. 1t is with the great
est reluctance that army officers enter
tain the thought of conscription, but
generally they agree with General
Ainsworth that it either must come to
that extremity or more money must
be provided for the soldier if the stand.

Sparrows Take Cold Plunge.

There are various opinions as to
whether cold bathing is harmful or
beneficial, but among the sparrows
that are so numerous in the parks
there seems to be no doubt that the
cold plunge is exhiIarating and delight
full, says the New York Herald.
In Bryant Park the other morning,
when the temperature was almost at
zero, a crowd of men around the drink
ing fountain near the 42d street side
looked at several sparrows bathing in
the icy water and chirping with glee
as they hoped in and out The foun-
tain was covered with ice and in the
basin there was just enough clear
They hoped in without the slightest
show OF trepidation, submerged them
selves for ii minute or so and hoped
out again, ruflng their feathers and
chirping in unison.
If it is true that in watching the
habits OF animals and birds we learn
Row nature directs US in methods to
insure good health then surely this ex-
ample of the little sparrows bathing in
the icy fountain seems to argue in ia.
vor of cold water for bathing purposes.
But. of course, those of us who are
so sensitive to cold and so accustomed
to overheated apartments are not like
ly to enjoy the cold tub as did those
sparrOws. For years they have lived
in our rugged climate, surviving bliz-
yards and zero weather and even thriv.
ing in it, Consequently we are not
protected by the hardness which these
little birds possess. But as an object
lesson this sight in Bryant Park was
very interesting, indicating that nature
has taught these birds by instinct that
cold bathing is best for them.

INDIANS TO FIGHT INDIANS.
Mexico Pits Yaquis Against Mayas,
Decreasing Both Tribes.

The Mexican war department, by di.
rectiOn OF President Diaz, is trying the
experiment of using the Yaqui Indians
to fight the Mayas. The up1 sing of
the Maya Indians against federal au-
.hOrity began several months ago, and
it has spread until practically all the
members of that tribe are now in arm
ed rebellion. The Yaqui Indians, like
the Mayas, are waging a bloody con-
fiict against the government troops,
and upon the peaceful settlers Of their
territory in the State of Sonoro. The
years to put down the Yaqui rebellion.
1t has succeeded in largely decreasing
the force OF Indians by capturing hun
dreds of them and deporting them to
the Quintana Roo territory, in what
was formerly Yucatan. The Maya In
dians formerly occupied all Of what Is
now called Quintana Roo. They were
brought under temporary subjection
about 10 years ago. and the new terri
tory was created by the government
anu WAS OpeIeu up lOt It
Mayas soon went on the war path
again, and there has been no settle
ment of the territory that was former
ly occupied by them. The government
soldiers have had all that they could
do to keep the territory from being re-
taken by the Mayas.
The Maya Indians have been making
such an inc~ssant warfare upon the
federal troops that were sent against
them during the last few months that
the order was given to augment the
forces of the Mexicans by organizing
the Yaquia who had been deported TO
QUntana Roo into military companies.
1t was believed that this experiment
of pitting the Yaquis against the Mayas
would prove successful from the fact
that the few peaccablc Mayas who had
come into contact with the Yaquis
seemed to show natural hatred for
that race of Indians.

"It is necessary to have an under

Skinner, with self-approving manner.
By this time they had arrived at bet

occupied by the men of the troop. while
the horses were arranged under long
sheds. The latter were quietly eating,
with saddles on their backs and bride
thrown on their necks, ready to be bit
ted and mounted at the shortest warning.
Lawton excused himself for moment
and entered his quarters. He soon re-
turned, holding in his hand one of the
common stable lanterns, and led the way
to large orchard. The gang followed
the trooper.
Approaching the captain, the Skinner
renewed the discourse, with a view of
establishing further confidence.
