GEN. WOOD DECLARES
OUR ARMY INEFFICIENT
Tells Sons of Revolution United
States Should Be Better
Prepared for War.

Referring to the army Of the United
States as inefficient, and declaring that
the nation has fictitious belief that 1t
can whip anything. Maj, Gen. Leonard
Wood strongly urged that this countIy
make better preparation for war in an
address before the General Society Of the
Sons Of the Revolution at a banquet at
the New Willard Hotel last evening.
Gen. Wood said the people Of this coun-
try were in the habit Of saying, well
never have another war; while many, he
added, believed the world has seen the
end Of war. The speaker predicted that
there would be wars in the future, despite
this belief, and that they would be more
serious and costly than those of the past,
although he believed they would be of
shorter duration. and would be brought
about more suddenly.

Favors Compulsory Training.

To prepare for these emergencies Gen.
Wood advocated compulsory military
training and the teaching of the use of
the rifle in the public schools. He did
not think 1t was possible to have a large
standing army, he said, but the size of
this could be increased by the shortening
Of the terms of enlistment.
AS for the cost of war and armies, Gen.
Wood said that those who protested re-
garding the expense did not take into
consideration the $15O.0OO.OOO spent by
tourists in Europe every year, nor the
$1o.OOOOOO sent back home by immigrants.

MERRILL GOES TO

Assistant FEDERAL DAIRY HUs-
BANpRYMAN WILL WORK
IN WALSH COUNTY
Grafton Commercial Club Active in
Securing His Services-Farmers
Well Pleased with FIint's Efforts.

Fred w. Merrill, assistant federal
Dairy husbandryman, who was sent
out to North Dakota by the dairy dr.
vision of the United States depart
ment of Agriculture to assist Dairy
Commissioner Flint of this state will
spend the summer at Grafton, where
he will work among the farmers and
endeavor to inculcate in their minds
the principles of practical dairying
and better farming methods.
| Owing to the vast area of farming
lands and the scattered condition of
the farmers, the travelling expenses
incurred by him have been unusually
heavy. The Grafton commercial club,
however, came to the rescue with
financial assistance and also loaned
their moral support to the proposition
of DIVERS ed farming methods.
"A meeting of the commercial club
at Grafton was held recently which
was we'll attended and the members
listened to an exposition of the work
and the outlines of the proposed plans
as given by Mr.. Flint. Mr.. Merrill
and by Mr.. Riser of the federal de-
partment. A committee was appoint
ed to take the matter up and secured
pledges to provide a conveyance to
Mr.. Merrill for his exclusive use in
travelling among the farmers of Walsh
county.
Mr.. Merrill is an enthusiast on herd
Improvement. He will endeavor to
lorganize breeding associations and as.
sist the farmers in making right selec-
lions in their purchase of dairy stock.
He expects to keep a careful record
of a number of herds in various parts
of the county and determine in which
mich COWS can be produced most
economically in northeastern North
Dakota.
He advocates the feeding of ensil-
age and strongly advises the farmers
Ito erect silos. He will furnish plans
and bills of material for silos and
dairy barns and assist in their con-
struction.
This is the first work Of the kind
to be done in the state and it is ex-
pected that the results will more than
exceed expectations if the farmers
take advantage of the opportunity
now afforded them.

Cincinnati, February 21.-George B Cox, for years head of the republican organization in Cincinnati. prominent factor in state and national politics president of the Cincinnati Trust com pany and widely known in theatrical circles because of his interests in that field, was indicted by the Hamilton county grand jury late today on a charge of perjury.
 The basis of the charge is that Cox testified falsely before a grand jury on March 21, 1906, in denying he had received any of the interest money which several banks, according to dis closures before the Drake investigat- ing committee paid to county treasur- CTS as recompense for the deposit of county funds in tneSe banks.
 The specific case upon which the jury acted occurred in the administra- ton of John H. Gibson, who served as county treasurer from 1900 to 1904. Gibson testified before the grand jury yesterday that Cox had received $4S,- 800 of the $97,064 which the banks gave to Gibson as "gratuities' during the latters service.
 This was the amount which Gibson paid into the county treasury in 1906 following an investigation by the grand jury of the Drake disclosures. Two other treasurers, Tilden R. French and Rudolph H. Hynicka, also paid con siderable sums to the county, French turning in $o9,450 and Hynicka $5S.440. Less than an hour after the jury's re-

 INDICTED FOR PERJURY

lport Cox appeared at the courthouse and gave bond for 5000.
 | No date for Cox's appearance III court was. set.
 MT. Cox in speaking of the indict-
 ment said: | T do not consider this an indictment | in the true sense of such action. IL was purely 8 political move and was brought about by political conditions
 "The jury which brought the indict-
 ment was selected by democratic judge who drew the names Of the
 grand jurors from his inside pocket instead of from the jury wheel as the law requires. "The people, irrespective of politics know, I believe. that never in my career have I been accused of telling false hood I consider the action of the grand jury one of the serious attacks and one
 of the most outrageous procedures ema- hating from a body connected with a court. I will leave my side of this affair to the facts as brought out in the trial. In the meantime I ask the public to sus-
 pend judgment"
 The law under which the grand jury re-
 turned the indictment provides that in
 case of conviction for perjury the penalty
 shall be imprisonment for not more than
 ten years nor less than three. The indictment quotes the testimony
 given by Cox before the 1906 grand jury.
 This was the body which investigated the payment of bank "gratuities" to the county treasurers and afterward reported that these payments had become so GUS tomary that criminal proceedings because
 of them were not advisable.

ROBSON WANTS THREE
But His Amendment Was Defeated. Two Battleships Will Be Largest Ever Built and Have Im-
 proved Batteries

Washington, February N.-The House late today completed the naval appro- priation bill and will pass it tomorrow morning. As agreed to when read for amendment today it provides for the con- struction of two new battleships, two feet colliers, eight torpedo boat destroy CTS and four submarine torpedo boats.
 The two battleships are to be the largest ever constructed in the country and while authorization fixes the dis placement of these super-dreadnaughts at 27.o0o tons, there is a likelihood that they may go up to 3o.0o0 tons. The new battleships will have 12 14-inch rifles, the heaviest battery ever placed in a ship in the world. These guns will be ar ranged on the four turrets, three guns in each turret. This arrangement Is new. Russia Is building such a ship, however, and Japan has ordered bat tleship-cruiser carrying a similar bat tery.
