Divisional Organization.

BY way of increasing the efficiency
of the army, both regular and volun-
teer, it Is recommended that the pres
ent complex of units without regular
grouping" be abolished. In place of
taking the regiment as field unit the
general staff advocates the creation of
divisions, consisting of nine regiments
each of infantry. and brigades COM
prising three regiments each of caval-
ry. This plan would necessitate, says
the report Of the general staff, an in
crease in the number of brigadier gen
erals TO seventeen as against the pres
ent authorized complement of fifteen.
The number of major generals would
stay at the present authorized number
of six.
The organization of the regular army
on the division basis is declared to be
the moving reason for the proposal to
reduce the number of army posts from
forty-nine TO eight. step which would
replace the present dispersal of the
regular land forces by greater con-
centration. II Is proposed TO make
each of these eight army posts division
headquarters under the new arrange
sment
"The rational and economic way of
disposing Of our troops" says the
forthcoming report of the general staff,

In simple but substantial buildings in

Use Of the National Guard.

The enlistment contract proposed -
for six years, divided half and half.
However, by far the greatest number
OF men required for war purposes I'M
der the plan proposed by the general
staff win have to be drawn from civil
life. Under present conditions, the
general staff points out. the only citi-
zen soldiers In the United States are
furnished by the national guard, which
is under state control and owes only
Incidental support TO the federnl gov
eminent. In time of peace the nation
al guard can be used only for intra
state purposes, such as the suppression
Of strikes or breaches of the peace, I'M
less In the very improbable event that
1t is called upon by the president to
serve In quelling disorder In some
state. A recent ruling of Attorney
General Wickersham declares that I'M
der no circumstances can the national
guard be called upon to serve outside
of the United States
The general staff proposes to give
federal pay to national guardsmen who
will comply with federal standards OF
soldiership and who will also agree
in time OF war to separate themselves
from state control and follow the ma
tional colors to any quarter of the
globe. This suggestion will, 1t Is
thought, get around the constitutional
provision which regards the militia
wholly as n state force.
The second supply of citizen soldiers
(which the general staff hopes to create
In time Of peace for war purposes will
be organized as federal volunteers.
These men will sign articles to sup
port the national government in war,
but will not be called upon to serve In
interstate troubles save as last re-
source. They are ito be organized
under prearranged plans when greater
forces are required than can be fur
nished by the regular army and the
organized citizen soldiery. The peace
organization of the regular army with
the organized division districts OF the
national guard should include the ma
chinery for the recruiting, organiza-
tion and mobilization of this third
great line of national defense.
This division of the citizen soldiery
into state and federal volunteers" says
the report, would afford obvious ad-
vantages to all concerned. The nation
al government. would know upon what
forces it could count, the states could
proportion their forces to local needs,
and individuals would have the choice
of the particular kind of service they
preferred Is. state service with
limited war liability or war service
only under International government"

1t is said in olden times that certain
housewives, by means Of magic at the
end of each repast waved a wand
above their boards and bevy of DO
nestle fairies cleared away the dishes.
The Boy Scouts. who returned last
Thursday from Lost Lake, were unable
to find the fairies but substituted the
water dogs. or salamanders, os the
waters of the lake to perform their
task of dish washing. As soon as each
meal was finished. the platters were
placed in the lake, when hordes of the
hungry little species Of Urodela Cthe
dictionary calls them this) would
swarm around and lick them clean. AS
soon as the last vestge of the meal
had been consumed by the salamsuders
the dishes would be thrown into pot
of hot water. The waterdogs were
especially fond of syrup.

Just Little Stories

A Hood River Beau, who while he
believes in making himself appear a
modern Chesterfield, practices rigid
economy. Indeed, the young man pol
ishes his own shoes. Not so many
days ago he found that he had left his
can Of tan paste open and that the
effect of the air on the composition
had made it so hard that he was unable
to make use of it. A can of olive oil
stood near on kitchen shelf and with
this he softened up the polish. AS a
result his shoes were nearly spoiled.
His dignity was almost utterly ruined
and he so lost control of himself alto
gether that he uttered profane speech.
This all happened after he Landed at a
party. The shoes looked fairly decent
at first. However, after about two
hours they took on q permanent ex-
preston similar to that of yellow
negro sick with the jaundice.
They were rambling through the
woods near Lost Lake. The little girl
was delighted. She was just from the
east and had never been in the wilds
of the west before. The big silver
gray SQUIRRELS were very cute and the
little chipmunks that reared them
selves on fallen logs and barked at
their passing were Just the cutest
things in the world. "Oh, love it, /"
she said, II don't think | can ever 90
back home again. hope papa gets a
place out here" And then she and the
young man walked on in silence down
the natural vista of frs.
Thinking it time to resume the con-
versation the young msn began telling
a story concerning lumberjacks. lie
thought he was going to tell a story.
but hardly had he mentioned the word
lumberjack when all the vivacity of
the little visiting maid returned.
"Lumberiack, that was a new word.
but she must display her knowledge of
the woods. why, | saw one of them
the other night. One flew into the
opening by the campfire. II looked
something like wood tick"

The season for deer hunting began
last Thursday. Numerous bucks are
killed each year by local hunters in the
range of hills west OF the valley in the
vicinity of the Green Point logging
camps.
As in past years many forestsfres
have started because of the careless
ness of hunters with relation to camp
fires, the forestry department b is
sued a warning to hunters to take all
precaution possible and declares that
should they not be observed the COVER
nor will he asked to issue a proclama-
tion declaring the season closed. The
law on the subject provides when
ever or wherever during an open sea
son for the hunting of any kind of
game in this state, ii shall appear to
the governor upon the showing of the
state forester that by reason of ex-
treme drought the use Of firearms or
fire by hunters is liable to cause forest
fires. he may by proclamation suspend
the open season and make it closed
season for the shooting Of wild birds
or animals of any kind for such.time
as he may designate, and during the
time so designated all provisions of the
law relating to closed seasons for
game shall be in force.
Unless it becomes necessary it is not
| the intention of the state forester to
enforce this provision, but should re.
ports indicate that hunters are the
cause of forest fires he will at once ap
peal to the governor to issue the proc
lamatlon-
One of the maddest scrambles thai
has been witnessed in the Hood Kiyel
valley since the city was known as the
Waucoma Indian lodge and the Rec
Skins used to scamper after the Young
deer, was last Friday, when Forrest
Moe gave chase to a fawn on his
fathers ranch near fuckers bridge.
He and w. A. Lockman were working
in the Moe orchard, when the little
animal, with the cupidity natural to
young beasts of its kind. came out of
the underbrush of an adjoining thicket
| and stood for minute not over 20 feet
away making a close inspection of the
human animal.
Mr.. Moe was unable to resist chas-
ing the animal, which, however, soon
lef him stranded in clump of bushes
at the creek bottom. Mr.. Lockman
declares that the race, while it lasted,
was one of the best be has ever had
the pleasure of looking on.
While a number Of visitors stood on
the banks watching him fish, Harry t.
Dewitt hooked a Sl-inch steelhead
salmon Sunday morning. His audience
screamed with excitement, as the big
fish made the spray fly as it dashed
through the water in its mad efforts to
free itself. The process of landing
took about 80 minutes.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. D. Moe and MIR.
and Mrs. F. H. Blackman and families
spent Sunday at the DEVILS Punch
