CHANGES TO TAKE
PLACE IN |. n. c.
Adjutant General Logan Will Soon
Announce the Re- Organization
of Militia

| Adjutant General Guy E. Logan
| will within a few days announce the
reorganization Of the national guard
of the state of Iowa. This will have
some effect on the local regiment in
that the seth will be a detached
regiment and in case of trouble will
be brigaded with a regiment from
North Dakota and one from South
Dakota. Under the new rules of the
war department brigades of national
guard may not consist of more than
three regiments. This state has had
four regiments in one brigade and
Adjutant General Logan has desig-
mated the 53rd, saith and 55th to
constitute the Iowa brigade and the
56th regiment to be known as a de-
tached regiment. This, in the opin-
ion of many national guard officers,
will be beneficial to the local regi-
ment, the only drawback being that
it will prevent the officers of this
regiment holding higher Office than
colonel. Many of the officers of the
other regiments who were brigade
officers will however be reduced to
grades below as the result of the
new rules. The first of January will
also see the retirement of General
Lincoln, who has been brigade COM
mander. His loss will be keenly felt,
as it is unlikely the Iowa brigade
will be able to find another COM
mander with the wealth of knowl-
edge that General Lincoln has al
ways shown in military affairs. Gen.

No WAR WITH Mex
leo, SAYS CUMM|NS
in That Event Company C of This
CITY Will be Greatly
Disappointed

Company c of this city, so it is re-
ported, have been anxious for sever
al months to hear that war had been
declared between the United States
and Mexico, but according to Sena-
tors Cummins they are doomed to dis
appointment. The senator is now at
his home in Des Moines and declares
that he does not believe there will be
war. The Capital has the following:
What do you think of the pros
(! poets of war with Mexico?"
This is the question put to Sena-
tor Cummins today. The senator
replied:
Il do not think we will have war
with Mexico. At any rate, am op-
posed to it. ! am opposed to war on
general principles"
what are your reasons for think
ing that there will not be any WARP"
WELL" said the senator, "Presi-
dent Wilson will hang to the situa-
ton until Huerta is overthrown, and
then he will recognize the rebel who
succeeds General Huerta. The new
dictator will undoubtedly have the
SUPPORT of the administration, which
may enable him to hold the place.
"How many men would be requir-
ed to capture Mexico?'
The senator answered:
Forty thousand good American
soldiers could march from one end of
Mexico to the other, but after cap
turing the country it would take
100000 men to police it and this
would not suit our American sold
iers.
when the war should be over
they would want to return home. All
American volunteers want to quit
when war is over"

is THE MAN REAL
LY HYPNOTzED?
That is a Question That is Being
Discussed by the People of
Webster City.

Roy Brown, the man who was
hypnotized Friday night by billiard
over the long distance phone from
Boone, was put to sleep and
placed in F. E. Grempel's show
window and later, by the order of
Mayor Valentine taken to the arm
Dry. He came near being put to sleep
for all time Sunday afternoon,
when a small kerosene stove, which
had been placed beside him in the
armory, exploded. One of the men,
bers of the local national guard COM
pany, who happened to be passing
the armory, noticed smoke pouring
from under the front door and i'm
broke in window to en-
ter, but the smoke was so thick that
it was some time before he could
force an entrance and when he, with
some other men, finally entered the
place, they found a thick smoke, but
no fire. The hypnotized man was
carried to the second floor where at
tention was given him and he SEEM
ed to be all right. Mr.. billiard, who
arrived in the city Sunday, exam
ned the man and said the smoke
lad not affected him.
Some people believe the "fire" was
lined and started purposely as an
advertising stunt. Others say the
sleeper must have thought it real
ire, as it was noticed that the bot
oms Of his bare feet were dirty,

Needy Workmen Given Positions by
San Francisco Of
Gals.
MANY CLEAN THE STREETS
Los Angeles to Furnish Aid For
Two Thousand La
borers.

San Francisco, Cal, Dec. Eek.
cept in the far northwest, the prob.
lem OF the unemployed on the Pa
cific coast seemed we'll in hand last
night. Local officials said it had
been solved in the only possible way
by providing employment at fair
wages for those who want it.
The system Of free feeding, tenn
porarily adopted in San Francisco in
preference to allowing needy work
men to starye, will be replaced to-
day with job for every applicant.
Part of this scheme went into effect
yesterday, and in back streets, un-
cleaned for years, the cobblestones
were as clean as they ever are likely
to be.
Under city ordinance no man may
be paid less than at the rate of SO
per day.
Harry r. Bogart, superintendent
of the city's cooperative employment
bureau, predicted that by adhering
to the plan of providing every appli-
cant with a position with hard work,
the situation would clear itself in a
few days. 1t was reported to him
that, during the free feeding practic-
ed last week, the Oakland charitable
bodies had to hire men to get wood
sawed; nobody was looking for work
on that side of the bay. Others came
from twenty-five miles down the pen
insula to enjoy free meals. Criti-
cisms, however, have been made of
the city's actions.
"This is the worst treatment l ev-
er got" one man said.
Maybe you haven't had much ex-
perience,' Bogart suggested.
The complainant was indignant.
Young man, I've been unemploy-
ed on the Pacific coast for three
years." he retorted.
Los Angeles reported only about
1000 men in need of work, and that
the situation there could be met.
In Seattle city officials reported
work for only 500 of 1900 men ap-
plying for it, but it is possible that
state assistance may be had through
the sale of highway bonds. Many
good citizens are reported seeking
work in the larger cities and that
added to these are thousands Of vag-
abonds who annually come to the
coast to spend warm winter, while
nearly all the speechmaking and
noise is stirred up by agitators, some
Of whom are connected with the In
dustrial Workers Of the World.
In San Francisco, 1000 men were
melted to call upon Mayor James
Rolph, Jr., at his home and demand
better food, in the name of human
ity. The procession, however, ran
upon policeman chasing Chinese
across a street intersection, and
they Immediately broke up to see
how the pursuit came out. The may
or still is waiting.

THE FALL OF
DICTATOR MAY
BRING PEACE
Villa Outlines Views on Possible Ad-
justment of Mexican
Situation.
GEN. HUERrA MUST RESIGN.
Rebels Will Treat Overtures For
Compromise With Con-
tempt.
GEN. HUERTA MUST RESIGN

Chihuahua, Mex, Dec. 20
l"Nothing less than the fall of Huer-
ia and his Punishment from the
country will ever be considered as a
preliminary toward peace in Mexi-
co." said Gen. Francisco Villa yes
terday. ANY overtures for COM
promise will be treated with con-
tempt by the revoIutionists."
General Villa was prompted to dis
cuss the subject because of the repe-
tition of a report from Mexico City
that General Huerta might resign in
favor of a member of his cabinet.
The report also said that General
Huerta was thinking of taking the
field against the rebels, but it was
mot considered in any way as a pos
|sible peace move.
The subject of peace, however,
came up in General Villas counsels
and the rebel leader was moved to
outline the rebels views in case fut-
ure events brought them into consid-
Grafton.
y In substance the terms demanded
by the rebels are:
"The elimination of General Huer-
to and his supporters.
"The complete surrender to the
constitutionalist cause of politicians
now opposing it.
"The restoration Of the constitu-
ton.
"The selection of a provisional
president acceptable to the constitu-
tionalists and provisions for a pop
ular election. *
Il Guarantee of a change in the
land laws so that deeds to land will
be more generally distributed.
Ratification of the confiscation
by the rebels of the vast Terrazas,
Creel and other estates, valued at
many millions of dollars.
Qualification of all acts of the
Huerta regime"
