tons and divisions joined with the orig
inal ones under the terms of the
Everlasting league. The main occupa-
ton of this organization for the next
two centuries was getting rid Of the
Hapsburg and Austrian influence.
Rights as land owners were recog-
nized, but any feudal claims were
calmly ingnored, and were at no time
enforced successfully. In 1474 the
Hapsburgs formally gave up their
claims.
At that time there was a decided
lack of unity in the federation, due to
the wide differences between it's men,
bers. 1t was regarded by them as a
union for defense only. The retire
ment of the Hapsburgs was Immediate
ly followed by the Burgundian war,
during the course of which Switzer-
land was attacked as a nation. This
gave the people a national spirit
and a feeling of oneness of purpose.
Pressure vas renewed on Austria. the
only kingdom which had any claim to
sovereignty over the Swiss, and in
1899 that country recognized the indie
pendence OF the Swiss nation.
For the next three centuries inter-
nal troubles caused by religious diff.
ferences prevented any important
progress. The party which contend
ed for r~enouncing the authority of the
pope and the separation OF church and
state was successful, and on March
20, 1898, a new league was formed,
which was referred to as THE Hell
veto Republic, one and indivisible."

Why Arabs Lie.

1t is said by travellers throughout
the world that the most universally I'm.
truthful people to be met with are the
Arabs. All foreigners lie some of

time. Whether this be true or not,
the Arabs give this reason for their
untruthfulness:

through his Negro Farmers congress,
of which he is founder and president.
The agricultural department of the
same college, with G. II. Waller at the
head, has turned out a number of
young colored men who are doing excel
lent work. But almost all the work done
so far has been voluntary, and has not
reached the masses through organized
effort emanating from some central
authority. The state Of Texas has
never put forth any effort to reach
these farmers and increase their eff
cheney, and yet a large proportion Of
the productive wealth of Texas is
committed to this unskilled labor
through the rich lands they control
and cultivate.-Wade C. Rollins in the

LONG WAR WITH VILLA,
CARRANzA'S BELIEF
Issues Statement That Peace
is impossible.

Vera Cruz, Mex, Nov. 30.-Peace
between General Carranza and Gen.
eral Villa, who is reported to be on
his way to Mexico City with a strong
force, is impossible, according to a
statement made by General Carranza,
who has established his headquarters
here.
A long and hard war is expected, as
General Villa is reported to be well
armed, while General Carranza is de.
termined to bring the war to an end.
One of the most significant features
of the troubles now besetting the
country is that General Lucio Blanco,
who assumed control of Mexico City
after it had been evacuated by Gen.
eral Obregon, and who declared that
he neither inclined to Carranza nor
Villa, is that he has been arrested and
brought to Vera Cruz, where he is
incarcerated in the prison of San
Juan de Ulua.s
Persistent rumors were to the eft.
feet that two Englishmen and one
Italian were killed in Mexico City
by the Zapatistas. 1t was impossible
to confirm these rumors.

MILITIA TO Be INCREASED
Proqram Looks to Training OF an
Efficient Force of Men In All Of
the States.

Washington, Nov. 80. - Militant
members of congress, who nave pro
claimed their intention to advocate
the strengthening OF the armed forces
of the United States, apparently nave
heen proceeding on the theory that
the government has overlooked the
matter.
If that be the case, it is more than
probable that these gentlemen, Whc
are wasting midnight electric lights
and the ribbons on their typewrlters
preparing resolutions providing for an
increase in the army and navy are
certain to be disillusionized.
There is very good reason to justify
the statement that the officials OF the
government intrusted with the duty
of protecting the country from foreign
invasion, and to assume the offensive
If necessary, have under consideration
plans that will obviate the necessity
for legislative undertakings in this
line, other than to facilitate the con

The general staff and war college

mended by the secretary of war in his
annual report. and presumably witt
the sanction of the president. There
has not, of course, been any public
announcement made regarding the re
organization of the land forces OF the
country.
The daily banner. (Cambridge, Md.) 1897-2008, 1914-11-30

From what can be learned, howe
er, it is probable that any steps looN
ing to the better protection OF the
country do not contemplate any In
crease in the regular army, but viii
be more directly devoted to the en-
largement of the militia forces of the
states.
The nearest basis for this reorgani
cation reached by the experts contem
plates the creation of volunteer re
servist force to bring the forty eight
state militia forces to 100000 men
who can be made ready for active
military duty within three weeks.
The regular army at present con
sists of 1872 officers and SS,444 enlist
ed men. The authorized full strength
of the regular land forces, on a wal
basis, is 472S officers and 96,977 men.
The latest returns to the war de
partment from the adjutant generals
of forty-eight states show the strength
of the state militia forces to aggre
gate 12S,043 men. The reports, how
ever. indicate that there are but SO,
277 men actually available for duty
in these forces. The increase, there
fore, contemplated by the plans un
der consideration for the development
of the militia is about five times that
of the number available at the pres
ent time.
The condition of the land defensive
arm of the national forces in the
United States is something approx
mating that of the British govern
ment at the beginning of the wal
now raging on the continent of Eu
rope.
It is frankly admitted by officers
who have nominal supervision over
the citizen soldiers of the United
States, that, with the exception OF
New York, Wisconsin, Massachu
sets, Pennsylvania and Michigan, the
militia forces of the country are at d
lower standard of efficiency than the
organization of the territCrials OF
England, whose duties are about the
same as those of the state militia or

a few isolated cases of robbery and

quiet, with the exception of Tampico,
where the approach of Villa forces
