staff whose annual report on the need

just been completed declares that
the army of the United States is
woefully unprepared fer war with a

any sufficient preparation for a mo-
bile army, and the failure of the War
Department to assemble an adequate
reserve of war material. He advo-
Gates a reserve staff of 100000 men.
The chief of staff does not dwell
at length ON all the facts which have
led to his conclusion, but he has

The immediate object of the COM

abroad. The commissioners, twenty
seven in number are among the lead

Pay for Militimen.

According to the National Guard
Journal, the bill to provide pay for
militiaman will undoubt dly pass and
become a law at the coming session
of congress. The measure stipulatas
20 per cent of regular army pay for
all enlisted men of the militia and Is,
per cent of army pay for officers.
This will amount to about $1.OO per
week fer the enlisted man, payable
every, quarter for his two hours drill
once each week. When this law be-
comes effective it is thought there
will be no more difficulty about main
tainirg a National Guard like there
has been in the past when soldiers
received no pay except when they
were on active survice.

Notice, Tobacco PoOlers.

At meeting of the finance COM
mittee held here Monday, it was de-
cided that in order to regulate the
delivery of tobacco here so as to
avoid a rush which would cause the
growers needless expense and worry,
that we should adopt the registry
plan, that is, that anyone having to-
bacco ready to deliver, should notify
me and | will register their load or
loads and set day for them to de-
liver. But it should be clearly un-
derstood that anyone failing to come
at the time set for them, lose their
turn and will be dropped from the
register. Now, in order to make this
plan a success, it will be necessary
for the people to cooperate with me
and not register until they have
their tobacco stripped and ready for
delivery and then get there as early
as they can, so that we may have
time to get it unloaded.
