ory getting their guns. uniforms and
equipsent placed away until 1t Is
needed for use again. The boys were
glad to get back, but some OF them
expressed themselves as being perfect
ly willing to serve for time longer
as they enjoyed the soldier life and
the duties were not hard. Others
were glad to get back because of the
approaching spring with its usual
amount of extra work, as they want
to get in the harness for the crop sea.
son. None OF them were sorry they
had to serve during the four months
since October 20. they we're called out,
as the experience was worth q great
deal, and they were away at time
when work In an agricultural district
was not so rushing.
Co. 1 2nd Infantry was called out
on October 26th, Of last year. They
went direct to Trinidad where they
were on duty until February J Of this

Capt. Downey stated that while the
company was relieved from duty they
we're subject to a call at any time. |,
He thought, however, 1t quite likely
that such call would not be made as
the strike was so we'll In hand that a
small cavalry force could take care OF
the situation. He stated that Gen.
eral Chase was relieving others from
service and that the Western Slope
boys we're to have been sent home
Wednesday. He highly praised Gen
eral Chase In the work that was done
In the strike fields. and stated that IL
was remarkable the way In which the
work was conducted, and expressed
himself as believing the general was
the one man for the place under such i
conditions. Not shot was fired by
the soldiers during the entire service,
but at times different companies and
guards felt that 1t would almost be-

he came very nearly having pneu.
monia, but Is now feeling all right.
"Crop prospects for this year look

is more moisture 10 the ground this
spring than there has been 10 the
same season for q number of years,
and with an abundance Of irrigation
water, crops ought To be good"

THE PRINCE OF PIIiSEN.

At the Academy Saturday. matinee
and night, the tuneful and familiar
airs of that most yirile Of musical
comedies, 1.-THE Prince of Pilsen.' will
be heard again.
The beauty of these songs such as
The Message Of the Violet" THE
Tale of the Sea She'll" and Stein
Song" with it's swinging Heidelberg
refrain Tho Song OF the Cities"
Pictures in Smoke" and others, have
served in large measure 10 maintain a
lasting popularity for this entertain
rent. Frank Pixley's story and lyrics
have more poetry and romance than
usually attach to a work OF this kind,
and Gustav Luders' rhythmic har-
monies retain their freshness and
charm.
This year there Is an enormous all
star revival Of The Prince of Pilsen"
and its cast embraces the names OF
John W. Ransone. the original In the
star role: Edward T. Mora, Dorothy
Delmore and others. Skill and iudg-
ment in effecting the alliance OF vo-
cal excellence and good looks in
chorus contingents are strikingly ex-
emplified in this organization. The
scenic and costume equipment are new
and the music as played by The
Prince OF Pilsen's'' own band will be
a pleasing feature.

READY FOR WAR
IN FIVE YEARS
CONGRESSMAN HAY SEES NATION
EQUIPPED AND SCOUTS
DANGER TALK.

Washington, Oct. 1s.--Representa-
tive James Hay, chairman OF tho
house military affairs committee, to-
day said reserve army equipment az
rifles, field artillery and ammunition
for the United States was being manu-
featured rapidly and within five years
this reserve strength would reach the
figures recommended by War Depart
ment experts.
stock in the statements the country Is
in danger of war with Japan. Germany
or any other country.
In discussing the military strength
of the army. since Representative
Gardner raised the question America
is unprepared for war. Hay said:
"In reserve equipment we have
/ 900, 900 rifles and 100000 rounds
of ammunitions. which Is about 300
rounds q man in an army of 500. 1000.
We lack sufficient field artillery. We
have 6O3 artillery guns and enough
ammunition to serve these guns for a
short while. We are manufacturing
more ammunition and guns from
appropriations made by Congress in
the last two years than at any other
time.
There Ia no need for standing
army of the size of those IN Europe.
To obtain a standing army of 500, 900
men, 1t would cost 5000, 000,0 900 year.
at the rate we are now paying. We
have no reserves because we have no
compulsory military service.
I'm my judgment you cannot main
tain a reserve system in this country,
unless 1t be compulsory. The General
Staff has been insisting for some years
on short enlistments to pass through
the army as many men as POSITIVE,
believing the men thus trained Will
constitute a reserve.
IF this Is done, our army now
recognized as one of the most efficient,
in four or five years will degenerate
into a mob of recruits and II war
should come we would not have a
nucleus Of small and efficient army
to build on.
] I'VE have large body of citizens
who are well fitted for service in the
army. There Is not State which does
not have military school. 1t Is esti-
mated at least $4,000 young men are
| graduated from these schools every
year. They have been drilled, laugh,
military tactics and sanitation. and
would make far superior soldiers 10
those who have served only year IN
the army"
