BOARD TO END
 COLORADO STRIKE
Seth Low of New York Heads
 Arbitration Commission
PRESIDENT WILSON ACTS
Charles w. Mills of Philadelphia and Patrick Gilday of the Pennsylvania Miners Union Also to Serve
 Operators Reject Proposals.

Washington. - President Wilson named d commission of three com posed of Seth Low of New York, Charles W. Mills of Philadelphia, and Patrick Gilday of ClearAeld, Pa. an official of the Mine Workers Union, to death with the Colorado coal strike, The announcement of the commission was accompanied by statement from the President in which he expressed disappointment that the mine opera tors had rejected his proposals hereto fore made for the settlement of the strike.
 The President says he does not feel like withdrawing the troops from the scene of the disturbance without mak- ing some effort to bring about an amicable settlement and he has ac- cordingly named the commission to deal with the situation. The Presi- dent took this course without con. sulation with the operatives. The statement follows;
 "The strike of the miners in Cobra do which has now lasted for 12 months has attracted the attention of the whole country and has been accompanied by many distressing and tragical circumstances. The media tion of the government of the United States was offered early in the strug- gle but the operators of the mines were unwilling to avail themselves of 1t.
 Tt became necessary to send Fed eral troops to the district in order to preserve the peace, but their pres ence could of itself accomplish noth- ing affirmative After long waiting. therefore. and the disappoint ment of many hopes l ventured to propose plan of temporary settlement. to be put into operation for period of three years
 The striking miners promptly ac- cepted it, but the mine operators re- jected 1t, saying that they objected to its most essential features; namely the proposed arrangements by which the miners might state their griev- ances through committee and by which differences might be settled by reference to commission appointed by the President of the United States.
 "I have therefore determined to ap- point the commission contemplated in the plan of temporary settlement and thus at least to create the instru- mentality by which like troubles and disputes may be amicahly and honor ably settled fin the future.
 "The members of the commission will place themselves at the service alike of the miners and the operators of the mines in Colorado in case con troversy between them should in the future develop"
 The Presidents statement makes it clear that the commission is appointed to deal. not with the existing, but future. differences.

shington.-Militant members of Congress who have proclaimed their intention to advocate the strengthen ing of the armed forces of the United States apparently have been proceed ing on the theory that the Govern ment has overlooked the matter
 There is very good reason to justify the statement that the officials of the Government intrusted with the duty of protecting the country from foreign invasion, and to assume the offensive, if necessary, have under consideration plans that will obviate the necessity for legislative undertakings in this line, other than to facilitate the con summation of those of the Govern ment.
 The General Staff and War College have been at work for more than two months working out details 0f system that probably will be recom- mended by the Secretary of War in his annual report, and presumably with the sanction of the President.
 From what can be learned. however,
  to the better protection of the country do not contemplate any increase in the regular army. but will be more di- rectly devoted to the enlargement of the militia forces of the States The nearest basis for this reorganization reached by the experts contemplates the creation of volunteer reservist force to bring the forty-eight State militia forces to 500.000 men who can be made ready for active militry duty within three weeks.
 The regular army at present con- sists of 4,572 officers and SS,444 en. listed men. The authorized full strength of the regular land forces, on war basis, is 4.72S officers and 96.s77 men.
 Tn latest returns to the War De- partment from the Adjutant Generals of forty-eight States show the strength of the State militia forces to aggre- gae 12s.04S men.
 It is estimated by officials of the United States war establishment that the 600.000 trained men contemplated by the new plan of reorganization will be adequate for ordinary emergencies, Estimates of the number of citizens who might be made available for mili- tary duty in vital circumstances range from 5000. .000 to 9,00o,000.
 The fghing forces of the country are distributed as follows:
 In the United States proper. SS,915.
 In the foreign possessions of the United States. 20.s63.
 In the Philippines, f,212.
 In the Hawaiian Islands, 6,sS2.
 In the Panama Canal Zone, 1.es1.
 In China. 6e0.
 In Alaska. 431.
 In Porto Rico. 5SS.
