 VOLUNTEER ARMY
 PROVIDED IN BILL
Senate Passes Measure as Precautionary for Any Crisis Conference
 Report Delayed

Washington. April aO.-Prompt organi- zation of volunteer army for service in Mexico or in any other crisis would be provided for in a House bill passed today by the Senate with amendments. Sending of the measure to conference was delayed by motion by Senator Reed to recon- sider the vote, but Senate leaders said the motion probably would be disposed of to- morrow.
 The bill would revise the law under which volunteer force was organized for the Spanish-American war in 1S9S It's authors claim that volunteer force could be raised more quickly than under the existing law; that it would prevent the payment of bounties. would do away with short term of enlistment by making the term of volunteers the same as that in the regular army; would procure the necessary number of men at the begin ming of the war for a long period thus making drafting unnecessary, and would decrease the pension list after the war.
 Recruiting Provided Unlike the present law, the bill would provide for the recruiting of all organi- zations of land forces. This would in- clude training service, to which duty partly disable officers would be assigned when superseded by able-bodied men at the front.
 Another change in the existing law would give the President instead of the governors of the states the authority to appoint all officers for the volunteer forces. requiring him to give preference | in their selection to those who have had military training and instruction in the regular army, national guard, volunteer forces or military schools.
 Instead of the volunteer forces waiting to be called into service until all the organized militia of all arms has been called It would permit the organization or volunteers of particular arm as soon as the militia of that particular arm mad been put into service Another pro- vision Is that the number and grade of offcers should be the same In the yolun- teer forces as in the regular army.
 Present Militia Strong The present strength of the organized militia, including both officers and men. l is approximately 1a0,000, according to the latest returns from adjutants general of 1 the different states.
 These civilian soldiers are divided in part follows:
 ! Alabama 2569, Arizona 522. Arkansas ! lS5s, Florida 122o, Georgia 2S9s, Kansas 1924. Kentucky 2N13 Louisiana 1142. Mis- sissippi 14i3 Missouri 3576 New Mexico 64S, North Carolina 256S. Oklahoma a52. South Carolina 1909 Tennessee 1884, Texas 2561. Virginia 2699, West Virginia 13s3

pETTICOAT WAR NOW PENO|nG
National Anti-Suffrage Associa-
ton Sends Organizers Into This
State to Give Battle

Miss Minnie Bronson, secretary of
the National Association Opposed to
Woman Suffrage. and Miss Clara E.
Markeson. field secretary, arrived in
Reno from Montana Monday, says
the Gazette. They said they had
come in response to numerous letters
received from women all over the
State who were opposed to this meas
ure and who wanted help in their eff
forts to bring to the attention of the
voters of Nevada the fact that the
s~uffragists do not represent the ma
jority of the women of the State.
I'VE expect to form an organiza-
ton but that organization will be for
the purpose of disseminating litera-
ture and for enrolment of members
in order that the voters of Nevada
may know that Nevada women as a
whole do not want the ballot" said
Miss Bronson to-day. "The men of
Nevada are willing to give the women
of the State anything they want and
the aggressive and spectacular efforts
of the suffragists may deceive the
voters into thinking that the women
of Nevada really want to vote. AS
a matter of fact they do not except
a comparatively small minority. The
rest are not in sympathy with the
movement.
1.-The organizations opposed to wc-
man suffrage differ altogether from
those which favor it. We do not en-
gage in the ordinary political meth
DDS, spectacular street parades, cross
country hikes, soap box oratory. or
street corner speakings. We are
joining together to use our influence
in the most dignifed way to show
our dissapproval, not only Of the
movement, but the methods of for
warding its propaganda. We are
not in politics and we do not want to
get into politics, even to the extent
of organizing. But we feel that if
a few women arrogate to themselves
the right to speak for their sex, we
must lay aside for the time our re-
pugnance and come out to say just
as emphatically that women do not
want the ballot as others say they do.
Otherwise we will be forced into the
political game in spite of our wishes.
Women have always accomplished
more by quiet work, through their
clubs and similar organizations, than
through the ballot, and while our
organization will be little more than
the enrolment of those who oppose
it, it will be all sufficient"
Miss Bronson said the national or
ganization was composed of women,
many of whom are conspicuous for
their work in philanthropy and hui
mar betterment.
