NOT READY FOR WAR.
SECRETARY sTIMsoN SAYS ARMY
WOULD BE INEFFICIENT IN
A REAL CONTEST.
Attributes This Largely to the Fact
That Army Is Scattered Over the
Country and Urges Capitalization
Of the Troops.

Washington. his annual report
TO the president, Secretary of War
Stimson declared that the contin'
gency Of war with first-class power
would find the army OF the United
States practically unprepared
He attributed this largely to the
fact that the army was scattered out
over the country" In too many posts
and to lack of reserves. The army
on the peace footing habitually main
tanned with miniature companies and
troops he characterized as ineffective
for serious war service.
AS to the unpreparedness Of the
army In artillery and ammunition
Secretary Stimson says that, at the
present rate Of appropriation, it is es
timated that it will take more than
fifty years to secure reasonable
supply of field artillery guns, car.
riages and ammunition that would
be necessary in the event OF war.
The secretary disapproves of the
long term Of enlistment and favors
the shortening of the present term
to less than three years, so as to al
low as many men as possible to go
through the training of the regular
army, the government retaining some
hold over the discharged soldier by
which he can be called to the colors
In case of war. ..

URGE BETTER ORGANIZATION.
Woolgrowers Must Get Together for
Their Own Protection, Say Speak
ers at Annual Convention.

Salt Lake City.-Better organiza-
ton was the plea of the Utah wool
growers at the opening session of
their annual meeting in Salt Lake on
December s. Speaker after speaker
urged the sheepmen to get to-
gether with all their strength,
numerically and otherwise. For,
said these speakers, the hour i'm
ponds when the fate OF the wool in
dustry will be decided. With organi-
cation there is a reasonable hope of
winning the battle; with division and
contention among the sheepmen, the
cause is hopeless, they said. The at
tendance was larger than it had ever
been at any previous meeting.
The second and last day of the
meeting was given over to education
al deliberations-a seeking for infor-
nation beneficial to the wool grow
ers themselves and discussions of the
best trail to follow in bringing home
to the American people everywhere
that educational understanding of
sheep raising which will correct the
erroneous impressions that threaten
the very life of the industry.

HUNDRED MINERS EHTOMBED
Explosion Wrecks Workings IN Coal
Mine as Men Are Beginning
Their Days Work.

Briceville, Tenn.--One hundred and
seven men were entombed Saturday
morning in the Great Cross Mountain
coal mine, as the result of an explo-
sion.
They had entered to begin the
days work, when a terrific explosion
wrecked the workings. Three only
have come out alive. They had en-
tered a lateral off the main shaft and
succeeded in getting into the open
before the flames and smoke caught
them. The body of Lee Polston,
operator of the mine fan plant, was
found buried and mangled under the
caye-in in the main shaft.
There are three theories as to the
cause of the explosion. One is that
powder or dust exploded, the second
is that an electric wire came in con.
tace with explosives, and the third is
that the explosion was caused by
poor tamping of drill
The mine was thoroughly inspect,
ed week ago by j. F. Hatmaker
who has been inspector for eight
years. He said there were no gases
in the mine. The mine was also in
spected recently by an inspector I'M
