OUR INSUFFICIENT ARnY


Secretary Of War Garrison in his
address on Saturday hight gave facts
and figures which show that our
Army is Efficient but insufficient and
badly distributed. If the available
troops were evenly divided among
the l57 army posts there woald be,
according to these figures, the aceur-
acy Of which Is not questioned, only
222 soldiers TO each post. This
shows, with perfect clarity, how
necessary Il is to The continued and
and increased efficiency Of our land
forces that the number u unneces-
posts should be reduced and the
troops enabled to concentrate in
stations where not only regi uenls,
but the j itegers Of brigades may be-
come acquainted with the relations
which they must have to be effective
in the field. II shows how our field
officers have been handicapped until
the maneuvers on the Texas border
gave some Of them a chance TO handle
bodies Of troops worthy Of their rams.
And il shows the need Of an army
fully twice as large as we have.
II is highly instructive to compare
the pleas of the late and the presei I
secretaries Of war on these points.
They are practically in agreement,
not only one with the other, but pr &c
ticslly with all enlightened discussion
Of the subject. The lsssion is not 10
be evaded that something rnast be
done, and done at once, to enable the
Army to get upon a modern lasis.
All that prevents this is the local
pride aud selfishness which make
each community 10 which there is an
unnecessary or obsolete army post
light for all it is worth to retain that
post, regardless Of the good Of the
Army aud the welfne Of The c unity
1t large. This attitude is enirench-
ID in Congress to such an extent that
efforts 10 overcome it have been
ruthless.

Luther M'Carty, claimant of the
white heavy weight championship Of
the world, was killed by Arthur
Peikey, who has recently come into
fstic fame, in a prize fight in Cal
gary, Alberta, on Saturday last.
Shortly after the contest began
M'Carty received sharp jab to the
jaw, which sent his head back quick
ly. The left to the jaw was follow :
ed by Pelkey with a right to the
heart region, which caused the wit
nesses to think that it was that blow
that brought the knockout. How
ever, physicians, after holding an
autopsy, stated that. M'Carty died as
a result of the blow on the law,
which dislooated his neck, causing a
rupture of the spinal cord and a
hemcrrbage Of the spine. The
Crown Prosecutor has stated that
prize fighting is illegal under the
statutes Of Canada and charge of
manslaughter has been brought
against Pelkey and it is minated
.As al the managers and promoters

wealth supposed 1, have been hidden
on Cocos Island has already been
expended in an effort to find It and
many lives have been saerifsed.---
There seems TO be little question
about the Authenticity Of the story
that gold wss actually buried on
Cocos Island at the time mentioned
in the tradition. But considering
the thorous hness with which the is
lani has been searched il is quite
likely that the treasure has already
been found and secretly removed. It
is to be remembered that msny at
tempts to regain the treasure were
made years ago, before the enterprise
Of news gathering and publication
bad been well developed and when
it was possible TO ft out gold hunt
ing expedition without attracting at
tention and to slip away for the
south seas in the guiss Of simple
traders. Who knows but that one Of
these vessels later brought back the
gold from Cocos Island? It would
have been the part OF discretion to
keep the fact Of finding il a secret,
for embarrassing legal complications
might have ensaed had it become
known that the treasure was recov-
cred. Or there is a chance that The
treasure hunters, finding TIE gold
was lost at SEES, or that they were
wrecked and blown upon another
south sea island, there reinterring the
treasure. Or they may have fought
among themselves as in the good old
stirring tales OF treasure seeking, and
lost the treasure or divided it, with
each holder afraid to whisper Of the
identity Of his part o. the loot. In
deed, once let the Imagination fiart
on the subject Of the Cocos Island
gold and there is no end to the pos
slble conceptions Cocos Island
may not have yielded its treasure,
but it has in any case given riss 10 a
most romantic series If yarns Of al
venture, replacing those span around
the hiding and search Tor the various
caches Of Gaps Kidd.

FROM THE PmLADELPnIA LEDGER.
No one is better acquainted with
the military preparedness Of the
country than Mr.. Taft, who closed
bis series Of lectures On questions of
government at Yale by declaring that
the United States is aludicrously VI
prepared for war. ePerhaps YOU
think this a military and waIlike adj
Dress" he said, seeming from a man
supposed to | e an advocate of Inter-
national peace, but / am un willing
to see our country put at a disadvan-
tas g by assuming condition tha i
does not exist" There IS scarcely
any likelihood that the EXPIRES
dents warning will be an incentive
to Japan to play bold hand at this
time, relying on our failure to main
tain an adequate army and navy, for
the very lack of foresight which mas
made this condition possible also
makes itself manifest ia a national
tendency to neglect consideration OF
possible result when war is in the
air. There are about 20,OOO,0O0
Americans who are willing to begin
hostilities whether we are prepaid
for them or not, if they seem neces-
sary.

The Railroad Gompann has 40

The Railroad Company has again
changed its schedule and the morn
ing train north leaves here at 5.45
instead Of 554 as heretofore. The
Railroad Company is making too
many changes in the schedule on
this line and every change to the
great inconvenience Of the general
public. The time has come for a
halt. Train schedules are changed
and no time-talks published in the
local papers not only causing ineon-
venience but loss Of time and trouble.
Many people ship calves, lambs and
other things on this train and
changes of this kind make the ship
pers miss the train and their produce
cannot be shipped until late in the
afternoon. Public sentiment is
against these CHI nges and the rail-
road company should heed the wishes
Of the people.

GIVE STRAY LIDS AWAY
JUST TO GET PICTURES;
HOW THE WEST DOES IT

Grand Forks, N. D., June 6.-When
you see a picture of "California on
New Years Day." with the people
decked out in straw lids, ETC., don It
get excited.
That is the advice of John White,
who has just returned from spending
several years on the coast, more parti-
cularly in San Francisco.
Moving pictures taken on New Year
day are usually doctored, and the
whole community, says Mr.. White is in
on the conspiracy.
Straw hats are worn, to be sure, but
they are given away free of charge.
Newspapers run stories advising peo-
pie to leave their overcoats at home if
they are "true Californians. and
with all these preliminaries, the NOV
ing picture machines are set at work,
swapping the people going to and fro
in their false regalia. Mr.. White
says New Years days, as rule arc
not gotten up for comfort in straw
hats.

served on Saturday, June IA. The

displayed upon the municipal build
ings of their respective cities, and by

UNITED STATES HAS VIOLATED
CONSTITUTION IN ALIEN LAND LAW

Special to the World:
Washington, June 6.-The California
situation took decided turn today in
the reply of Japan relative to the alien
land law. in which it is claimed that
the United States has violated the
fourteenth amendment to the constitu-
tion, which declares equal protection
to all for life, libery and property.
Wilson states that a new field for
vast consideration has been opened as
a result of the reply and the matter
has been turned over to the United
States attorney.
Discrimination in violation Of Ar
ticle "L" Of the Japan United States
treaty is also claimed in the enaction

the right to Japanese to lease or own

HERE FOR INFORMATION
ABOUT WOMAN

According to letter received by
chief Of Police Timboe in this city,
Francis Palmer, who was jailed in the
city several weeks ago on the charge
of drunkenness, has arrived in Mime
apolis. and is stopping at the police
headquarters. as she did in this city
and in Grand Forks.
The letter that brings this informa-
tion, is from the Associated Charities
at Minneapolis and it is stated that
the woman claims to have been beaten
by the police here and treated in a
cruel manner.
That the report Of the woman who
was taken from roonling house here
while intoxicated and disturbing the
peace, is false is certain, according to
those who saw the woman and know.
She was merely jailed and the follow
ing morning was released when she
paid her fine. That same evening she
took the train and departed for Grand
Forks.
During her stay in Devils Lake she
was not treated violently, although the
manner in which she was carrying on
would warrant violence. The woman
was addicted to liquor and had the
snuff habit and 1t is believed was sad
" demented.
