Declaring that demOcratiZing of the
army is a vital necessity to the future
Of the Fatherland, the Social-Democrats
are demanding the complete reorganiz-
alton Of the German military. The
army is declared by the Socialist-Dem
Ocratic party to be a "scTni-feudal" in
stitution with a great gulf between Of
flcers and enlisted men or privates.
They declare the army is still clinging
10 traditions that are timeworn and
entirely out VI joint with democratic
| tendencies of modern times. Among
| the demanded reforms are a reduction
Of service from three years to two for
| the cavalry and artillery: a reduction
of service in the infantry of from two
years to one year: the establishment OF
a system which will make possible pro-
motion from the ranks to commissions,
and the covering Of the cost of the mil
itary budget wholly from property, in
come and inheritance taxes.
AS the initiative for legislation lies
with the hundesrat, or federal council
Of the empire, and not in the reichstag,
the Social-Democrats admit there is
small possibility Of bringing the mat
ter before the latter body for debate.
However. advocates Of these reforms
are keeping their views before the peo-
tple through the medium Of their own
papers and also through the columns
Of the papers which are owned by
people who although opposed to the
| platform OF the Social-Democrats are
strongly in favor Of that organization S
proposed military reforms. 1t is in
| teresting to Americans to know that
one Of the chief arguments used in Ia
voring a system which will make ii
possible for men in the ranks to be
promoted to commissions is the sue
cess the United States has had in this
respect. Advocates of the proposed
measure point to the wonderful eff
cheney of the American army and tc
the high standards Of officership at
tanned by commissioned officers who
have risen from the ranks.

BIG CONVENTION iN fNDIANAPo-
POLLS ADOPTS STRONG
RESOLUTIONS

indianapolis, Oct. 81 The new re-
port of the policy commission Of the
National Convention of Methodist MeT
was adopted unanimously today an0
without debate. Bishop W. F. Nc
Dowell, of Chicago, who read the re-
port, asked that it be accepted with
out debate, so that the support Of
the message would not be destroyed.
The report, in brief, declares for a
campaign of personal evangelism;
for the bringing up Of the youth in
the church; for the dedication of one
tenth of their income to the church;
for the hearty support Of all boards
created by the church; to assist in
civic, industrial, social and education
al uplift and to re-affirm the action
of the general church on higher edu-
cation; for large funds for poorly paid
ministers and for the cause of tenn
perence.
The resolutions also contain a
statement, made yesterday, pleading
for the eyangelizing of the world
and accepting responsibility for 1907
100000 people.
Before the adoption Of the report,
an attempt was made to include a
resolution in behalf of the superan-
nuated ministers, but this failed.
Another resolution introduced by
the business committee urged the
laity to assist the district superin'
tendents in adopting the new rinan-
cial scheme in all the churches.
Bishop Mcdowell in acknowledging
the report. said all the activities Of
the churchc were not included, for
the reason the committee did not wish
to burden it with details to the ex-
clusion Of its spiritual force.
This is not a convention for chs
passing Of the tariff bill or for the
revising of the currency said the
bishop. sIt is a convention solely
for stimulating interest in the king
dom Of God"

Thousands Of American and Mexi-
can citizens who were unable to
board the ten troop trains are panic
stricken. They have no means of

believe that followers of Orozco will
be given no quarter by villa during
the occupation of the state capital.
