DEFINITE IDEAS
ON TRUST QUESTION
But President Will Not Face Them
Until Currency Legislation
is Settled.

WASHINGTON, Nov. I. - President
Wilson said yesterday he would not
launch any recommendations for anti
trust Legislation until the currency bill
was passed and that it would be his
ann to keep the currency question the
centre of attention. He made it plain.
however, that he had some very deii-
mite ideas on the trust question which
he had already discussed with Chair
man Newlands of the Senate interstate
commerce committee and Chairman
clayton of the House Judiciary com
mittee, as well as with Attorney Cen
eral McReYnolds, and that all were
thinking along the same lines. An
antitrust program armed to the
teeth, is the way those close to Pres
ident Wilson describe his plans. The
President, they say, intends to get
behind whatever measure the chairmen
OF the two congressional committees
will work out in consultation with a l.
ministratiOn officials. The President let
it be known that he is opposed to the
Senate banking currency amendment
providing for four regional reserve
banks instead Of -. as in the House
currency bill. He told callers yesterday
that to change any of the fundamen-
tails Of the House bin would alter the
whole thing. He made it clear that he
would continue to stand firmly for the
Glass bill, though he conceded theIa

THE OLD-FASHIONED DOCTOR.

The oldfashioned doctor wore whis-
place for the microbes to swarm
lie took some long drives and the
spinach
1t helped keep the good doctor
warm.
You could tell the old doc without
question
Far off by his shiny black hat
He wore it III all kinds of weather
No man was a doc without that
The oldfashioned doctor was jolly,
lie joked with his patients Il lot;
lie came with a bunch of new stories.
And stories that Just hit the spot.
He WASH t so darn scientific,
As doctors we see nowadays;
He WASH t SO grave aud mysterious
And professorhke in his ways.
The old-fashioncd doctor was chummy
His business sense was not so keen;
He didn keep books like a banker,
Like later day does we have seen
We liked him because he cared for us
And cured our ailments and ills,
And was not so COL burned partiellei
When it came to collecting his bills

Vermont's Debt to Absent Sons.

Vermont is entitled to whatever con-

many of its sons and daughters to
other states that can be gained from
of the conspicuous part
played by the Green Mountain bows in

wealths. The Vermont association

Chicago and a host OF other Important
centers throughout the country include
names that are high on the roll of
success in every profession and every
avenue of useful activity and develop
ment.
In Welding so much of our best
blood to other states and more popu-
lous centres our little state is simply

Vermont is not the only state which

effects of shifting currents of migration
and of the urbanspull upon the young
blood of the rural regions.

PLANS ARE MADE
FOR COMPLETE ARMY
War Department in Readiness to Arm
and Equip 100000 Men for
Field Service

WASHINGTON. Nov. 4-Thc ''war
plans of the army ordnance depart
ment are completed, and for the first
time in the history of the country
Uncle Sam is in readiness at a mo-
ment : notice 20 arm and equip 100000
men to send into the field in the event
of war. These plans have been work
ed ont during the past six years by
Licut-Col. j. r. Thompson of the
ordnance department under the direc-
tion of Brig Gen. William Crozier.
chief Of the bureau. Col. Thompson
pointed out that his "war plan'' is
based upon conditions as they would
actually exist in the event of hostili-
ties. The line of the regular army
would be increased to it's maximum en-
listed strength as provided for by law,
the entire organized militia of the
country would be mustered into the
service of the United States at full
war strength, and the remainder would
be raised by the enlistment of volun-
tecrs.
The ''war plan as now completed
provides that this force shall be armed
and equipped at concentration camps
before the different units are sent to
the scenes of operations Tables and
maps have been prepared giving for
the mobile army and the organized
militia for each army of the service
their present strength and the number
of troops required to bring each one
to war strength as well as the number
and kind of volunteers to be raised for
the completion of half million troops
The various increases in each branch
of the service are shown on a mar
which Is divided into five ordnance
supply sections. The number of sets
of equipment of the different kinds
required can thus be very closely ap
proxmated. The exact number of arm,
and equipment of every kind to bt
held on hand at the supply arsenal.
throughout the country is then deter
mined.
The department also has worked on
a system of division supply depots. Eacl
depot has the necessary personnel, tools
ordnance stores and supplies estimated
sufficient for maintaining six months
a complete division of infantry or cav
airy or auxiliary army troops. Thes,
division dcpots are so arranged lha
several can be readily combined into
field army depot. The syste n include
kilograms, letters and various orders
which would need only TO be date,
and signed, in the Office of the chic
of ordnance, in order to set the ma
chincry Of equipment in operation. TIL
