AGREES WITH ROOSEVELT
Gen. Wood Says United States
Was Poorly Prepared for
War With Spain.

Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of staff,
agrees generally with Col. Roosevelt, who
was in his regiment of Rough Riders
in the Spanish war, that the United
States Army was poorly prepared for
war at that time
1.-THE bureau system in the days Of the
war with Spain was pretty bad said
Gen. Wood. MANY changes have taken
place since, however. which 1 believe
would make improbable a repetition of
the incidents of 1908 in case of another
war.
I'm the first place. there was no such
thing as general staff. as we know it
now, in the war with Spain. The bureau
system was unquestionably very bad, due
largely to the detail of officers to serve
as staff officers for life.
General Staff Given Credit.
Now we have a general staff, which
has been chiefly responsible for the i'm
provements in our military organizat ton
in the last. few years.
LAS Col Roosevelt stated, few of the
field officers in the war with Spain had
had experience in handling large bodies
of men. This was due to the fact that
our army had been scattered in small
bodies among a great many posts. This
is the situation today. and we are trying
to overcome it by concentration of troops
in a smaller number of large posts. Only
in this way can We give our general
officers actual experience in the handling
of large bodies of men. AS part Of this
plan, it is expected that the portion of
the army which is within the United
States will soon be organized into tactical
divisions, thus anticipating a task which

secretary, and Miss Meigs, her own pri-
vate secretary.
Mrs. Mills Reid Remains in London.
Mrs. Ogden Mills Reid did not return
with her husband. Because Of the ex-

the British cruiser Natal. on which his
father $ body was being brought to this
country.

DON'T SLAM THE DOOR
IN THE ASSESSORS FACE.

Don't slam the door in the asses
sor's face and refuse to tell him how
much your new dining room set Is
worth. He has too much autocratic
power to be trifled with seriously.
If an Abilene property holder re-
fuses to allow an assessor actually to
view his household goods, the asses
sor may ascertain their approximate
value from a neighbor or dealer. He
may list them at $1,000 IL he has
good reason to believe that Is their
value, and the property holder hav-
ing refused to allow them to be
viewed, cannot refuse to sign the
return made by the assessor. II he
does, that autocratic official may re-
port his refusal to the county asses
sor who will calmly add an addi-
tionaf $500 penalty for this refusal.
Under the present law any prop
erty holder who either refuses to
list his possessions or sign a return
listed by the assessor may be pun
ished By having so per cent excess
added 10 his total. Once this is done
there is no alternative but to pay.
The board OF equalization has no
authority to remit such q penalty.

BARNARD WAS MAROONED
FOR MORE THAN WEEK

Manchester, March 5.-Barnard
has been without railroad communi-
cation since the storm a week ago
Sunday and has no prospect OF any
thing for another week from present
indications. AS Barnard is on one
of the minor branches of the Santa
Fe no effort was made to clear the
track until after the main lines were
opened and the Strong City-Superior
branch was cleared.
The snow pillow started west from
Manchester Thursday with three en-
gines behind it, but had not gone
far when it struck the big cut near
Vine Creek and has not been able
to get farther west. The drift at
Vine Creek is fully rs feet deep and
100 feet long and the plow has made
little impression on it. Beside the
plow a large force of men have been
at work with shovels, but with no
prospect of getting through for sew
eral days. Such conditions have
never before existed in Barnard since
the line was built and the prospects
Of two weeks without train service
is a most unwelcome thing.

Suggests a Cottage Home.

Evangelical Visitor: According to
a brief note in the Abilene, Kan,
Reflector, it is expected that the pro-
iected Home for the Aged will ere
long become "a reality. A good part
of the needed funds has already been
secured and 1t is confidently expected
that the whole amount will be short
" secured. Possibly our Kansas
brethren will think it wise to inves-
tigate before they proceed in the mat
ter. as to whether it is advisable to
establish such a Home on the plan
of the Messiah Home of this city
housing all inmates whether five
or fifty, in one large building, or to
establish it on the cottage plan. We
recently heard the secretary OF the
associated charities of this city ex-
press herself in favor of the cottage
plan for such institutions. 1t is very
certain that the going up and down
long flights Of stairs is very burden
some to aged people. Either there
should be elevators to lift the in
mates up or down, or each floor be
complete in its arrangements so that
those living on that floor would not
have to go either up or down to go
to their meals, etc. We have no
doubt the Kansas Brethren will con-
slider things well and decide wisely
No doubt theirs will be an up to date
institution. May the undertaking be
under the blessing OF the heavenly
Father. Such institutions are needed.

HORSE BUYER HAVING TROUBLE
He Worked in Abilene All Of Last
Winter.

]. B. McGinn, who bought horses
for G. E. Etherington last winter
and made his home here, is having
trouble In Salina. He is on trial on
charge of being short in his ac-
counts. In the trial yesterday Chas.
Hartung, for whom McGinn bought
horses was first placed on the stand.
He told of McGinn's proposition that
he go to Kansas and buy horses. he
to do the work, Hartung to furnish
the money. Hartung said that Nc
CHM drew a total of $4,000.
He said that in January load OF
horses was shipped to st. Louis at
a loss of $500. Later the business
was checked up and the total expense
was only $4,000 according to Nc
Ginn's books. He asked McGinn to
explain the difference between that
amount and the $4,000 and Nc
CHM said that he wasn't running a
peanut stand and that 1t cost money
to feed the horses.
He then told of McGinn'S letter
saying he had sold horses at Kansas
City and was going to Wyoming. The
letter brought Hartung to Salina and
It was discovered that McGinn had
gone.
