Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood.

'or the present army In time of war
the army would be stripped"
Twenty officers of the army of the
Argentine republic are coming to the
United States army to be trained.
This is one consequence of the Off
cial visit of General Wood to the cen
tennial celebration of the independ-
ence Of the southernmost nation pro-
tected by the Monroe doctrine.
The significance of this was not al
Iuded to by General Wood, but from
Dther sources it had been learned that
the circumstances was important, as
Germans, who have been frequently
reported as unsympathetic toward the
United States policy regarding Euro
pean ambitions in this hemisphere,
are now instructors of the Argentine
army, and Germany, next to England,
holds the largest share of the Argen.

Would you," General Wood was
asked, go that far into army uues-
tons as to say what you think of fly.
Ing machines as an adjunct in war;"
Yes, | will say that I think the
smallest dirigible. one that can carry
the engineer and four or five men, is
going to be important, especially when
we can get them with a reinforced en-.
velope able to withstand the required
pressures. Their utility is already as.
sured for accommodating.
Our army's front is now twenty or
thirty miles long. If we can nut I'M

that and see the enemy's lines of com.

craft--Prefers Dirisibie
Balloons.

New York.--MaJ. Gen. Leonard
Wood, the new chief OF stan OF the
United States army, thihSs the term
Of enlistment OF regulars should be cut
down and favors younger men for IN
Gle Sans fighting forces.
"You know have recommended, In
formal reports, that the term OF enlist
ment should be cut down." said he.
This would serve to turn back Into
civil life larger proportion OF men
who in emergency could be called
upon. They would constitute reserve.
How to arrange that they would be
subject to a call to the colors for oc-
casional maneuvers is mere matter
of detail.
Further than this General Wood
would not comment upon what he
would advocate when once he has ta-
ken up work as chief of staff of the
United States army.
His recommendations OF shorter
enlistment would send back to the
population 10000 to 10000 men year.
The plan would cut off greater part
of the retired pay" and greater part
Of the pensions. The United States
standing army is now practically a
veteran army.
1t appears to be General Woods
idea that 1t should not be an army of
men of ten to fifteen years or twenty
five years service. Younger sinews are
required for spirit. dash and efficiency,
he believes.
I'VE need extra officers" the general
said. There are just officers enough

Templar coneIave,

Chicago.--Chicago stands ready to
receive the FIVE hundred thousand
strangers who will tarry within her
gates during the thirty-flrst triennial
oonclaVe and encampment Of the
Knights Templar of the United States
For years, quietly, and for weeks
openly, the work of preparation has
gone on. Now II is done, and Chicago
Is proud of 1t as 1t stands.
Probably the most interesting fea
ture of the encampment, from the
point OF view of the Templars, is the
series of exhibition drills in which the
different Communicates will contest
for supremacy in the mastery Of the
Templar manual. Commanders from
all over the country have entered the
list and the winning organization
must be practically perfect to carry
off the honors. Handsome prizes anG

only may be washed dozen times, each
time coming out like new if properly
done, but they give a touch of smart
ness to the street frOck, and are partic-
ularly affected by the outdoor woman
because of their supple qualities. Silk
gloves are worn the year around by
many of the best dressed women; it is
declared this season will see a greater
popularity for them than ever before.
Though we have but just been eman-
cipated from the purse splitting long
gloves, dealers are getting ready to
meet the big demand there is bound to
be for them when the elbow sleeve is
fairly with us again. For early spring
the mosquetaire in six and eight-buttOn
lengths will be worn with the new
three-Quarter, or more nearly, seven
eighths sleeves. For automobiling or
driving these come in a slightly heavier
weight, and instead of buttons. have a
strap at the wrist to conflne the full
ness.
Gloves for evening wear are usually
of the IS, 20 and 24-button lengths. A
decided novelty in evening effects is a
glove with the back stitching outlined
with tiny pearls. This idea is also car
ried out in various colored gems, but
the effect is not so attractive.

NEW CORSET MODEL SHOW NO
RETURN TO THE SMALL WAIST

little fiatness below the waist line in
the back, which is overcome by a small
oval pad that helps to give the long line
resuired. The loosen bust that is IA
vOred this season often makes a bust
pad of some description necessary.
These are sometimes in the form of
padded satin bows, which may be hand
painted in the most delicate designs. or
deliberately lace trimmed, or are simply
covered with washable slips that may
be removed. Many prefer the sets of
Tuffles, which are especially desirable
for summer because of their GOODNESS.
For the stout woman there are many
tricks of the trade which tend to reduce
her too, too solid flesh. There is the
hip confiner of sturdy tricot which is
woven TO the outline of the body. This
is worn below the waist line and is ad-
justed by means of the cores at the
side that permit of lacing. The latest
models in brassieres are also the knitted
tricot, but are adjusted without lacing.
Straps from the front pass around the
figure and cross to the opposite Shout
der, which thus makes it answer the
purpose of a sort Of shoulder brace as
well as bust supporter.
Though fewer hose supporters are be-
ing used than formerly, they are all of
the broad, fiat, heavy variety, with lit
tie or no trimming. When the silk jer-
sey cloths in colOrs are used for the
more expensive models, the supporters
are of the same color, but rarely have
any more elaborate trimming than a
fiat satin bow.

THE AGILE ESKIMO
Habit Enables Him to Scale Ice Clad
Heights With Surprising Ease.

In all my experience I had never
| encountered a rougher, more difficult
country In which to hunt than in Files
mere Land" writes Harry Whitney Of
| Cook-Peary fame, in Outing. "Ordi-
narily I should have believed these
mountainsides, with walls of smooth
rock sheathed with a crust of hard ice
and snow, quite unscalable.
| "In places they were almost perpen-
diculaE. Rarely did they offer a crevice
to serve as foot or hand hold, and tut
| ting points and firm set bouiders were
too widely scattered to be of much help
I'm this his native land the Eskimo
has a decided advantage over the white
hunter. His lifetime of experience has
| taught him to scale these icecIad
| heights with a nimbleness and ease that
are astounding. He is quite fearless,
and even the mountain sheep is not his
| superior as a climber
"As if by magic, and with little ap-
parent effort, the two Eskimos flew up
the slippery walls, far outstripping me.
How they did it / shall never know.
Now and again l was forced to cut steps
in the ice or l should inevitably have
lost my footing and been hurled down.

beneath.

porgress, and when l paused to glance
behind me l felt a mofnentary panic
But there was no turning back, and one
look robbed me of any desire to try it,
THE Eskimo has no conception of
distance. He is endowed with certain
artistic instincts which enable him to
draw a fairly good map Of a coast line
with which he is thoroughly familiar,
but he cannot tell you how far it is
from one point to another. Often when
they told me a place we were bound
for was very close at hand it devel-
oped that we were far from it, This
they are never sure of and cannot indi-
cate.

'stung to death from every point of
view. They not only can go to sleep
promptly. but sleep sOundly and we'll as
they travel, when circumstances permit.
They get sustenance. too, by eating
hard frozen walrus and seal meat or

is so strong in flavor that it invariably
