Reserve Force Recommended.

Called into active service the militia
would contain only about ~ per cent of
the war strength to which 1t should be
raised, showing the need for reserve.
The United States, Of all the great pow
ers Of the world, Is the only one which
provides no reserves. and Gen. Evans
suggests a scheme for the creation of one
based on an enlistment period of seven
years, not less than two nor more than
three of which shall be served with the
colors.

OBJECT LESSON TO COUNTRY

In his annual report, submitted today.
Brig. Gen. r. h. Evans, chief or the d.
vision of militia affairs, War Department,
calls attention to the statement Of his
predecessor in office. Gen. L. NJ. Weaver,
relative TO the totally unsatisfactory
cond ton of the armory of the organized
militia Of the District of Columbia" He
ADDS that the fact of the national gov
eminent in the one pace where it is to
provide armories fails to appreciate the
necessity therefor cannot but have a very
oeleterious effect upon the states"
Regarding the armory of the LIST Bat
terry OF Field Artillery of the District the
report states that 1t Is owned by private
individuals and is totally inadequate in
every respect, except that it affords
proper protection from the elements and
security from theft
These remarks follow statement that
the armories generally throughout the
country are inadequate and unsuited for
their purpose. Gen. Evans says, however
y l. gratifying 10 state that there is an
awakening interest In that subject, and
that in a number of states legislative en-

Senator Smith arose and made a
statement as to the purposes of the
committee in conducting the investi-
cation. He said:
1T is the intention of the commit
tee to inquire of all subjects of Great
Britain who may be in this country
and who may know anything regard
ing the disaster, and to hold them
here until We have learned all that
we can.
1T is no credit to most of the Off
GERS and members of the crew that we
have experienced little difficulty in
securing such witnesses as we
thought necessary to have; but from
the beginning until now there has
been a voluntary, gratuitous and
meddlesome attempt on the part of
certain persons to influence the mem
bers of this committee and to shape
its procedure. Misrepresentation
have been made, I've heard.
.'The committee will not tolerate
any further attempt on the part of
anyone to shape its course. We will
proceed in our own way, and judg-
ment of our efforts may be withheld

may have an opportunity to examine

Senator Smith spoke emphatically
and pounded the table with his fist.

explanation of what had actuated his
statement.

four robbers who blew open the vault
of the bank at Midland, 80 miles
south of this city, escaped with about

When the robbers blew open the
bank the citizens of Midland were
awakened by the blasts.
AS the robbers had cut all the tel

able to raise central to spread the
alarm.
The citizens who were awakened
then aroused their neighbors, armed
themselves and started toward the
bank
The first to approach the building
were received with volley from the
robbers lookouts.
After the bandits got all the money
that was in the safe, they set fire
to the building, and, sheltered by the
flames, they got good start in their
