ENGLAND MAY ADOPT
 ENFORCED SERVICE
Colonial System Of Military Train
 lnq May Be Tried

LONDON, Oct 1.-The enforcec military training system in Australia and New Zealand is too new Co be put to a test in the contingents from the antipodes sent to the present war, but is it talked of seriously here as a possible means to strengthen the Eng fish army and at the same time es- cape the conscripttn system of the continent
 The Australian system does not take men away from productive la- bor as does European conscription. It is more as if national guard service were required Of every abIe-bodied man in the United States. beginning with the public school military train ing. It aims only to provide trained men for emergencies instead of a seasoned and menacing force.
 Military service in Australia be- gins with boys at the age of l2. But from 12 to IA the junior cadets, as they are called. wear no uniforms and their training is confined to gym nastics, marching, swimming and first aid. Senior cadets, from IA to IS years Of age, have a simple uni form and receive instructions in company and battalion drill. musket- ry. sentry duty and the like. The number of hours of drill does not exceed that Of an average national guard company in America.
 What gives discipline to this force is the law. An employer who keeps an employe from his military duties is subject to a fine of $500. A senior cadet eyading duty is liable to fine ranging from $25 to $500 for each year of evasion, the penalty being enforced only in cases where the of- fender is eighteen years of age or over From the years IS to %. there are required of each man 80 drills annually, of which 20 must be out of door parades and twelve half day or six whole day exercises in the field Further. each man puts in at least week in annual training in camp and also fires a course Of musketry each year.
 In New Zealand. an employer who attempts to interfere with the train ing of a subject is not only fined but blacklisted as we'll for all govern ment contracts.
 Compulsory training will in full operation give Australia a force of ll20O0 citizen soldiers and 100000 cadets, and New Zealand a force of .5OOpOO trained men. Australia has a population of 5.0S8.OOO and New Zealand a million whites.

BEE BUSINESS BAD

THE AUTO IN rAE FlELD

lt 's quite a common sight in Ari. zona to see farmers drive to the har- vest held in automobiles. It takes a solemn sum of money to buy an auto. mobile and it takes good roads, as we'll as gasoline. to run them.
 A icy ride in the harvest fields of this State is one of the most exhiler. aung experiences that is available on this continent and one that would charm tourist and convince a home seeker A speedway lined with grow. ing crops and blooded stock is a land scaoe that one seldom tours in a life time. In mapping out automobile routes the Arizona harvest fields should be given prominent position. Why not a "see Rural America First" campaign?"

 There are five teams with records of more than $500. In each case the leader has had the fairly steady support of his team and has been able to put in at least two days work at high pressure.
 Almost exactly one-third of the neces- gary amount has now been raised. But the balance will have to be found unless the operations of the societies are to be cut down. But the outstanding fact is that the lack is not in the willingness of contributors. but in the numbers of canvassers keeping on the job. Those faithful ones who have stuck to it will, TO doubt, continue till it is done, and the last cent needed is pledged. Others are now enrolled; for North Birming- h1m, J. H. Berry captain, and for the Jefferson County Bank building. w. c. IIIll and Ed Putnam. R. D. Thompson also is to have q new assignment.
 No man on the teams Is working for
  ing cups presented respectively by Brom- berg and the HerzogThompson com pany are well worth striving after. And vel the main appeal both to givers and. solicitors is the number of sorrowing ones who may be relieved or who must be passed by unhelped. Six applications for the anti-tuberculosis san- atorium have geen gianted during this past week. Only one Jr these is able to pay. And yet those already at the camp are more than t'iere Is money to care for. Four of the six are advanced cases. And yet the space for such cases is already fully occupied. Two have been necessarily shut out because of the SC conditions.
 With facts like these in mind, it Is that the necessary $10,000 to do the work with should fail of com pietion. It is as hard to believe that the men selected for the work will fail to rick up every dollar that awaits their call.

LAWYERS WORKING
 ]. UP NEW EVIDENCE !. ID CONVICT OAKLEY
Sensational Developments Expected to Be Brought
 Out at Trial in Shelby
 on April 2
By l.. s. BETTY

Montgomery March s-(Special. .)--Sen- sational developments in the ense of James G. Oakley are expected to be brought out when the former head of the state board of convict inspectors is placed on trial in the Shelby county circuit court at Columbana on April I, on the charge of embedding more than $500 of state funds. Oakley was recently acquitted by the Montgomery city court of the charge of embedding S2207 of state funds.
 Working Up New Evidence
 Since oakley's aequittal by Mont gomery county jury or comphcity in the defalcations of Theodore Laos. attorneys for the state have redoubled their efforts in the attempt to secure other evidence against him, and it is reported by lawyers for the state that their labors have not been without success.
 The governor of Alabama has been in conference with states attorneys for the past week in regard to the Oakley matt ter, and his determination to secure the conviction of the former head of the con vict bureau has inspired the several states attorneys to double their activities in the celebrated case. Just what other evidence has been found against Oakley cannot be ascertained. The governor and the states attorneys refused to disclose my other facts in connection with the case, though they admit that they have eNerted every possible effort to work up t case against Oakley when he is brought to trial in Columbiana that will secure his conviction.
 TT am determined not to let the matter drop said the governor to The Age Herald correspondent. As I indicated several days ago, I shall prosecute Oak ley and Lacy on every indictment against them, and shall not be content until they have both been sufficiently punished for their great crime"
 Governor in Conference
 The governor was in conference this afternoon with Capt Frank & White of Birmingham, special counsel for the state in the prosecution of Oakley and Lacy, Attorney General Robert C.. Briekell, R. B. Evins Of Greensboro and Ben P. Crum of Montgomery, all attorneys for the state. None of them would tell what matters were discussed in the conference other than that they were at work on the Oakley case.
 Oakley will be tried at special term of the Shelby, circuit court on April '. on the charge of embedding more than S3500 of state funds, money which he ad- mitted on the stand at his former trial he drew out of the Bibb County Bank and Trust company at. Centreville and deposited in the Merchants and Planters bank of Montevallo. He further admitted that this money was convict department funds, his excuse for using the money being that he had given his chief clerk Theodore Lacy, s275Oo of his own money to keep for him.
 His trial on the Shelby county indlct- ment was originally fixed for sometime in March, but Oakley could not attend court on account of illness, and his trial was set for April ', at a special term of court

Shapiro for Lower Telephone Rates

Mark Twain once said that everybody complained about the weather but mo- body ever did anything about 1t.
 When the telephone company raised telephone rates, making the possession of a phone by some people almost pro- hibitive. everybody complained but mo- body did anything about it. Why? It was discovered that neither the city nor railroad commission has jurisdic- tton over telephone rates. Under our. laws there is no legally constituted au- thority to interfere with the collection of extortionate and excessive telephone tolls.

Here Is My Platform:

This is the age of progress Meas ures and not men are the important consideration which should count in the present primary election for rep resentatives to the next legislature.
 In entering the race for that high office I am impelled by a sense of duty and an earnest desire to give whatever ability l may have to the advancement of the best interest 1Dbf the common masses of the people.
 Broad generalities and high sound ing phrases mean nothing when weighed in the scales of accomplish ment. A program of constructive legislation should be adopted by the people, and men able to enact laws carrying that programme into opera ton should be selected as members of the next legislature.
 Our state, county and city stand upon the eve of their greatest de velopment. Wise and conservative programme includes the following declaration of principles
 l. State aid for good roads in ev- cry county, whereby the farmer may bring his produce to market without the loss of time, money. energy and excessive wear and tear upon his equipment.
 free schools established and main tained by the state, county and mu- nicipalities, together with term of such length as to fit every boy and g1l1 TOT the battle or il1e. ana lnCluu- ing the right of local voluntary taxa ation for the support of such schools.
 g. An effective child labor law which will take from the mines and cotton mills children under age of 16 years.
 1. The creation of a public utili- ties commission with full power to regulate all public utilities. includ- ing street railways, gas and electric companies. water works, telegraph and telephone companies, taxicab. traffic. transfer companies. public mill and elevator companies. cotton gins and cotton congresses and all other industries affected by a public use.
