What about maneuYers this year!

The answer q the second question
is affirma I've, but just when. where,
and for how long General Carter Will
have his command In the field has
not been announced as yet. The de-
partment commander and his chief OF
star are now working on general

ton OF the command II is understood
that the maneuvers VIII be upon quite
as extensive a scale as in the past,
and that all arms of the mobile army
will be combined for purposes of IN
struction in handling the higher COM
mands.
Last year a ten-day period of bri-
gade exercises preceded the general
maneuvers, which eventually brought
on a clash at the eastern end OF the
island. A maneuyer camp was l9ld out
between Cashier and the 25th lnfan-
try canfonment, and the three regi-
nents under command of General Ma
comb worked out a number OF inter-
eeting problems. Then followed

direction OF General Funston, the cav
airy maneuvering near Eva MIL,
while the three infantry regiments
were making hike around the island
to get into position for an attack from
Waimanalo.
This year General Edwards. the
present commander of the LIST Hawai-

SECRETARY FOR WAR
IDOL OF THE BRITONS
Lord Kitchener Living Example
of Ruthless Efficiency
Has Brilliant Career

i'm HERE was an explosion on an en-
i cheering project under the SUI
peryision Of Earl Kitchener in Egypt
Five Britons were blown To kingdom
come and the engineer on the job re-
ported the fact to his chief in a sor-
rowful telegram. .+ erse-.
Sorry" he wired, five men killed
| in dynamite explosion .E'~
Kitchener wired back:
do you need any mere dynamitee"
This is thefmanner of man that OPP
poses the legions of the Triple ALI
ance as secretary of state for war of
the British empire. He is probably
the most efficient, practical fighting
man in all the European forces that
oppose enc a9other.
With their passion for reducing
names and t.tlessto initials, a worship
ing English populace has dubbed him
TX CT K"-Mtchener of Khartoum.
HIS name is Horatio Herbert Kitch-
ener, and he Is yiscount. He earned
the title Of Baron of Khartoum for his
NEST famous military achievements in
Egypt
Not one, snap Of his huge fingers
does he care. for the adulation of the
British pnblic-and that is probably
one Of the big reasons why the Britons
feel that way toward him. He has be-
come the symbol Of ruthless. deadly,
heartless efficiency, Though every
English schoolboy knows Of his cam
paigns and victories, there is probably
no public man in the entire empire
about whom so little is known per-
sonally.
Cold and sufficient unto himself, he.
has repealed friends and what little is
known Of his human side comes main

What right has a soldier to be over

His appearance is quite in keeping
with his record and reputation. He is

Against Private
Strike Armies

(By Congressman G. II. Tavenner)
Washington, Feb. 1.0-Shall pri-
vate detective" agencies in this coun-
try be permitted to maintain stand
ing armies for hire to capitalists to
be used by the latter in crushing la
Dor disputes?
This is the question raised by Sec
retary of Labor Wilson in his first
annual report to Congress. He rec
ommends legislation prohibiting bands
of armed men from crossing state
lines.
Out in Colorado and in the copper
district of Michigan a state of ac-
tual civil war exists. In each case
armed workers, striking for better
conditions in their work, are pitted
against armed mercenaries-profes-
sional gunmen-recruited by the So
called detective agencies and hired
out to whoever can afford to pay for
them.
The rest of the country is at peace.
But it is actual warfare in these
strike zones. In Colorado some go or
80 new-made graves testify to the
sanguinary nature of the conflict
there. How did the bloodshed start ?
When the coal companies imported
private mercenary troops, supplied to
Imperial Valley press., 1914-02-10

order by detective agencies. These
same private soldiers, it is declared
were fresh from other bloody service
in West Virginia and elsewhere.
This condition would be tolerated in
no other country on earth. Why it
can exist in America, whose jealousy
for home rule is chief national
characteristic, is almost beyond COM
prehension. 1t is probably because
the people have not yet awakened to
the monstrous sort of business being
transacted by these detective con-
Germs. Secretary Wilson has called
attention to it in such a way that
popular Indignation is sure to be
aroused.
Every American has voice in the
selection of civil officers, including
the officers who maintain the peace
and do the police duty. Therefore, as
Secretary Wilson points out, when a
strike comes in community and sud-
denly there arrive strange men,
armed to the teeth, bloodthirsty and
staggering, looking for trouble, and
assuming an authority which is not
legally theirs, the average American
citizen, no matter how peaceable he
may be, is apt to see red and nourish
murder in his heart. Disorder always
follows the importation of these mer-
cenary soldiers 1t is no wonder that
strikers begin arming themselves
when the private troops arrive
After the Homestead strike Con-
gress investigated this traffic in pri-
vate soldiery, and both the majority
and minority reports denounced the
practice.
"Exasperated strikers will not mo-
lest or resist the officers of the state.
when, under exactly similar circum-
stances, they will assault the watch
man or guard hired by the corpora
tion," was the report
The judiciary committee at that
time, however, did not believe that
the Interstate Commerce Act gave the
federal government authority to stop
the practice.
The authority over interstate traf-
fic has since broadened, Mr.. Wilson
observes. The Mann white slave law
shows that persons as well as prop
erty come under the jurisdiction of
the government in interstate traffic.
SecreCary wilson's conclusion is as
follows:
"There would seem to be no reason
now why the transportation of pri-
vate troops, or private police, or
armed guards, or armed mobs, wheth-
er by employers or strikers, from one
state to another under commercial
contracts. should not be regarded as
coming fully within the scope of con-
~ressional authority over Interstate
Commerce"

and is fastened with small buttons Of
white satin, corded together. just
outside the net there is a waistcoat
of MORE silk in darker shade Of
pansy, against which is caught the
point of the broad black satin girdle
which is embroidered in gold thread.
The skirt drapery is low on either
side, and in the middle of the back
there is one long, flat sash-loop. Such
frock as this will answer for bridge
parties and luncheons during the re-
mainder of the winter and make an
excellent shopping costume next sum-
mer.
Lace waists are in great vogue,
both black and white effects being in
increasing demand. Black is built
over the most vivid greens, pinks and
blues with excellent. effect, while
white is draped over its own color
and the pastel tones. In this con-
nection chinchilla squirrel makes an
effective trimming. 1t is not very
expensive and comes in the class with
fitch, putois, etc.
A very attractive fashion is that
of the tunic blouse. 1t is developed
in many materials and used for al
most any or all occasions. One skirt
often does duty for several tunlcs. A
black satin or velvet skirt is the du-
tiful one. Over this may be used the
plaid tunic blouse of vivid colors for
mornings, the fur bordered chiffon for
afternoon, and the one of lace for
evenings. For afternoon wear, short
Jackets of metallic brocade with skirts
of black or dark -colored velvet are
much worn. All tones and shades of
green are immensely popular just now
and they are seen not only in the ma
terials that have been used all win
ter, but in new fabrics that are COM
ing for spring The silk-fnished ma
terials show off these new shades to
the best advantage. Lobster is to
take leading place among the new
est greens and this is to have rival
in endive ard cress. In fact, the fish
of the sea and vegetables Of the gar
den are being drawn upon for names
of several new colors.
Low necks will be worn for many
months to come, and thus the bead
necklace continues in the ascendancy.
Bead effects are particularly pretty
and not necessarily expensive. The
modest little beads we have been
wearing strung on necklaces are
holding their own, although deter
mined efforts have been made to oust
them from popular favor Corals, tur-
quoises, topazes, opalines and pearls,
graduated in size, with the largest
stones at the front, make exquisite
necklaces. q
Tassels of braid, silk fringe or
beads are found on everything from
hair ornaments to tailor-mades, and
it must be conceded that they are
very adaptable AS the end of the
sash or belt, they are always pretty.
The designs are too bewildering to be
described in detail.
