TO ADVANCE FOOTING
General Suggests Methods for I'M
provement of Service In
All Its Various
Branches.

What a tiny army when compared
to the great armed hosts moving in
Europe is that of the United States,
Is pointed out by Brig. Gen. Leonard
Wood in his annual report as chief OF
staff Of the army, made public re-
Gently.
It shows that the actual strength Of
the army is 1902 officers and 10000
enlisted men scattered over the world
and the general declares that to main
tain force within the United States
sufficient for even small expedition
and the police work Of the day 1t
would be necessary to substantially
increase the regular establishment.
General Wood suggested that fnfan-
try regiments be brought to 100 men
per company, that some new regi-
ments be added and recommends
twelve additional battalions Of field
artillery. There should also be seven
more companies of engineers. he says,
and some additional technical troops.
as the Philippines, Hawaii and Pan
ANA have greatly increased our re-
sponsibilities, and adequate garrisons
for these possessions can be provided
Only by reducing the home army.
The general most earnestly renews
his demand for more guns and ammu-
milton for the artillery, regular and
volunteer, and makes the point that
they could not be obtained to meet
an emergency in the length OF time
required to manufacture them. That
he says, would be fatal to success in
time of war.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1914-08-05
Must Complete Force.

In Hawaii and in Panama, the re-
port says, efforts should be made to
complete the force, construct barracks
and put the army upon footing or
the highest efficiency. The establish
ment of a secure and sufficient naval
base at Guantanamo is said to be OF
great value in the defense of the Pan
ANA canal.
American troops in the Philippines
have been concentrated in the vicin-
ity Of Manila and satisfactory pro-
gress has been made in all that re-
lates to the permanent fertilization Ell
Manila bay, The army on the south
ern frontier has continued to be salts
factory and the mobilization has been
very valuable.
Change Enlistment Term.
. General Wood speaks in terms or
high praise of the workings of the
new methods Of handling military OF
tenders, which he says will save to
themselves and to the country very
large body of men who have hereto
fore been thrown out to become social
outca SITS, enemies of the government
and the army. Therefore, he recon-
mends the extension of the policy,
saving: The building of what may be
described as a man-to-man relation
shin between officers and men will 40
more to improve the discipline and
diminish assertions than any other
one thing"
Measures recommended for adop-
ton include the bill changing the
term of enlistment and providing for
an adequate reserve; the militia pay
bill (if passed insures the service OF
the militia whenever asked by the
federal government), revision Of the
articles Of war and the reorganiza-
ton of the army in addition to those
urged for adoption last year.

Terminals are Needed.

On the forward end Of the boat
were the cots of the high moguls" Of
the crew, and their accommodations
while not palatial are comfortable.
The engine room, mess room and
pilot house at the stern is capable Of
comfortably caring for the crew, and
carrying supplies The boat has a
siren whistle and an electric search
light.
That the greatest need Of the river
cities for the revival of inland water
traffic is terminals, was the opinion
expressed by James E. Edmonds who
is with the boat Mr.. Edmonds said
that terminals must be built by the
cities in order to make the traffic
proposition success. This was the
greatest handicap Of the barge, he
said, on this trip, the lack of loading
and unloading facilities.
Mr.. Edmonds advised Keokuk to go
slow in her Improvements of the
levee. When the work is finally done
it should be permanent, he said.

Should Build Permanently.

Should Build Permanently.
Don't build anything here that you
aren't going to make permanent" he
replied in answer to a question.
Build your terminals, but don't DO
it in any haphazard manner. Get the
money necessary to build the terminal
right. That is what all Of these cites
need-the right sort Of terminals. You
should build for the future and build
permanently.
There is hundred thousand dol
lars worth of business a day on this
river, but you can't handle 1t without
terminals. This barge is operating
on the Rhine barge plans. 1t Is an F.
O. B. barge at both ends. You pay
to load the barge, and the persons to
whom the freight is consigned pay to
take 1t off. The necessary facilities
for handling the freight on it must be
at hand to make the trip successful.

Mr. .Edmonds said that the barge

an hour on the upper river now. Be-
low st, Louis. they made about four
miles an hour. A handicap was i'm
posed last week near ST. Louis by

A more drastic enforcement OF tho

dered by State Superintendent M. P.
Shawkey, in circular '"''"- to mem

second letter recently. sent 10 all
OF the justices of the peace in the
state,
MIR Shawkey tells the boards of ed
ucation that the enforcement Of the
law in the past has been entirely too
lax and the result has been de;
creased enrolment in the schools an
injury to the children and in the end
a loss to the state. Every day child
remains out of school, argues Mr..
Shawkey is loss of $500 to that
child in after years.
In his instructions to the squires,
Superintendent Shawkey points out
that child remaining out of school
two days a week without good and
sufficient cause, constitutes a viola
ton Of the law and is punishable by
a fine of from $500 to $500 with i'm
prisonment as in other misdemeanor
cases, in case OF default.
The campaign begun in the schools
is state wide and is expected to not
only stimulate school attendance but;
add several hundred names to the
school enrolment.

SEED WHEAT.

One fourth years trial of Stoner's
Miracle wheat more firmly establishes
our confidence in the great merit of this
wheat. From our own observations we
unhesitatingly pronounce it to be
superior in every way to existing kinds
of winter wheats.
1t is bearded variety. white chaff.
grain large, plump, dark red, hard long
berry type. Straw medium height,
very stiff, making it almost proof
against lodging. Contains more gluten
than any other variety of wheat. On
account of the large heads, and most
of the spiklets containing grains, it is
heavy yielder. Under ordinary con-
ditions yields 10 to 20 bushels per acre
more than other varieties. On account
of its wonderful inclination to stool, the
originator advises to SOW from / peck
to bushel per acre. Our observations
lead US to recommend | bushel per
acre for this section, A smaller quantity
we believe would be successful on fertile
land, providing it was sown very early.
At the low cost we offer it, YOU can
seed your land much cheaper with this
wheat than with any other variety.
Price $500 per bushel. 10 bushels or
more at S1.75 per bushel. All seed re-
cleaned and free from cookie and other
impurities. Ready now.
