way most army officers contend, that the army of this nation may be put on real war footing
 This particular phase of military tactics was discussed by Gen. Wood recently.
 When we go to war; said he i've will find it is necessary to mobolize instantly an army of 100000 men. This army would be needed absolutely if We are to protect our various ports and guard against the sudden land in gof a large hostile force. Three camps would have to be established in different parts of the country.
 ''The disability to an army in War through all causes of course-is about 65 per cent Thus it will be seen that with total fighting strength it would be impossiblt to resist an invader, while the raw recruits away from the scene of hostilities were being whip ped into shape as a reserve. It is ridiculous to assume that with a small but efficient army (that phase is the one used by the opponents of the proposed change) this nation could hold off a large army of lnvad- CTS until a force of recruits could be prepared for war.
 "To send recruits into battle before they had been trained would be in- human. No man need go beyond the Civil War, with it's terrible loss of life to realize its deadly danger of send ing untrained men on the field of bat tie.
 "The proposed change will give us men in all ranks of life who know how to be soldiers. Then when there came call for volunteers we could rely upon the newly enlisted men. Men years of the short term enlist ment will do wonders in developing any army of volunteers in time of war.
 In connection with this thought it is noticeable that the army will, from this time forth, give more consldera- tion to the treatment of the fighting men than has been done in past years. It is probable that strong fight Will be made to bring back the canteen and thus do away with the dives which have been protested against by all officers. Whether this be accom- plished or not, it is certain tha. everything which can add to the pleasure of the enlisted mans life will be attempted by the department
 Secretary Garrison's announce ment that desertion will be made by a misdemeanor instead of an offense punishable by imprisonment in pen itentiary and loss of citizenship IS accepted as the beginning of the newer era"
 The plan to reduce the gravity oi the offense of desertion has met with general approval. The officers de-

Vinced that Montgomery is the man wanted and left to secure the needed evidence to convict him. Montgomery who is known to officers and pris. oners alike as Shorty" was taken off the city street and closely guard ed for several days for fear that he would attempt to make his escape
 However, the Malvern officer sent back word to Chief of Police McBur- nett recently to the effect that he was unable to secure other evidence with the exception of that of one man who appeared against Willis, This man saw the picture of Montgomery and stated that although he was al- most sure that he was the man want ed, yet he would not swear in court that he was the murderer of Younger. As the men who caused the convic- tion of Willis were tramps and were in 8 box car beating their way at the time of the shooting, they cannot be found and this one witness was the only one who could be located His evidence would not convict Mont ! gomery and as Willis would not be allowed to testify, it is very improb- able that charge will ever be pre- i ferred against the cheerful little fel- | low.
 Shorty" stoutly denies having any connection with the affair and stated /, to Sheriff Morley that if he were talk en to Malvern he would just "get a free ride and little fresh air. He is very cheerful and laughs and jokes with both officers and prisoners. |

COLORED TEACHERS
 HOLD A MEETING

The colored teachers of the city met yesterday in semi-monthly ses- sion at Missouri Street High School. Prof. Wm. Townsend, president, read a splendid paper on, "One Remedy for Education" which was discussed by some of the teachers "The Associa- tion of School and Home,' was also discussed.
 Some of the subjects upon which splendid papers were read at the two previous meetings were: ''The Value of Cooperation Among Teach. ers,' by Miss Higgins; "The Advan.

clare that incarceration in barracks built fo rthe purpose and term of hard work is sufficient punishment for the young soldier who becomes tired of his duties and jumps his job.'' If desertion were not made so serious most men would not attempt it, is the belief of officers who com pare it to the inability of severe crim- inal laws to lessen crime.

These helpful meetings are surely fitting teachers to do better work in their respective class-rooms, and our able superintendent, Dr. Junius Jor- dan, and the school board have the lasting thanks of the teachers for having these meetings held.
 Prof. Townsend, also deserves much credit for his fine executive ability and advice to the teachers Each teacher seems to feel it his and her indispensable duty to try to do cheerfully, every task assigned by those ill authority.

way from .939 to .S99. Guiheen also
ranks among the first half dozen heavy

record was three scores and four hits
in five times at bat, Danbury winning
from Middletown 9-3.
Frank Bogash, jr., a former favorite
at Valley fair races in Brsttleboro and

of Vermont and Eastern Canada, was
the sensation of the grand circuit rae

Chamber of Commerce stakes of $4,000
in 2.O3H. 2.05M and 2.02A. Bogash
was a big winner on the Canadian
half mile circuit last year and was
brought to the grand circuit by Tom
