An Englishman's Views of Our
National Guard and Army

The most important feature OF the
new American national guard act,
says a writer in the London Chroni-
Gle, is the taking of the nomination
of officers out of the HANDS Of Cover
nors of states and placing this fuac-
ton in the custody of the president.
This removes the whole matter from
the political field.
The president with the sanction OF
congress can call for any number OF
volunteers and they are placed on eX-
actly the same footing as other ell
listed men except that they must be
dismissed as son after the proclama-
tioa of peace as practicable. The
writer continues: When it is re-
,membered that the United States has
NO reserve force as it is operated In
Europe, and that the law limits the
standing army to 100000, it will at
once be sen HON important are the
new powers to the nation.
In theory of course, compulsory
service for all male adults between
the age of is and As should provide
an army sufficient to satisfy the
most aggressive and ambitious ma
ton in the whole world; but the
American people being a peaceful
and kindly folk in the main. have al
lowed the intention of the law to re-
main unfulfilled in fact. So that
while Oh paper there are l6,121,O00
"Oorganized and unorganized militia
known to the official records, less
than the odd thousand are actually
available for immediate service, with
little training.
The enlisted or regular army
lands at something les than $4,000 OF
whom nearly one half are employed
on coast defense and other duties OF
in the Philippines and other depend
encies; probably $4,000 would be the
uttermost muster possible for the
country at a moments call.
1t will interest Europeans to read
something of the democratic meth
DDS by which the army of this great
country is differed. Indeed 1t may
be that great Britain will get some
light upon the democratizlng of hel
own army in review of the Ameri~
can system.
Briefly, there are three methods by
which a man can obtain a commls-
sion; but there is no way in which he
can he struggled in solely by reason
of his wealth or social position. Il
there should prove to have ben an
unwise exercise of the Presidents
prerogative of limited selections in a
number of cases, there are so few as
merely to prove the usually wise
choice made.
Primarily enlistment in the COM
missioned ranks is from the Military
Academy and | am assured that it is
almost impossible for a cadet to
cake" a pass at West Point for
instance.
This academy is to the American
Army what Sandhurst is to the Arny
Of the King George There are diff
ferences, all in favor of West Point,
as / believe, but on the whole they
are analogous Institutions.
And West Point knows nothing OF
wealthy and poor as such. Every
youngster is proved worthy before
he can get there. When he succeeds

six years and pays him enough 10

Yours very truly,
w. J. BRYAN.

On February 6 the publisher Of this paper wrote to Secretary Bryan at Washington of the effort being made to prejudice the people of the state against Senator Clarke and de, feat him for reelection by circulating the report that the Senator vas not in harmony with the administration and was also antagonistic to Mir. Bryan. It was explained that this report, however unfounded it might be. was calculated to do Senator Clarke an injury unless authoritat- ively denied As soon as the mails could get a message to Washington and back We had MT Bryan's reply, hot off the bat, as the boys would say, and it is printed above. The letter shows that after receiving it from the stenographer MT. Bryan made d number of interlineations with pen and ink before affixing his signature.
 The fact that Secretary Bryan. whose every minute of time is talk en up with the consideration of big things, stopped long enough to write such d letter indicates very clearly the high esteem in which

SMALLPOX SITUATION.

Three more deaths resulted from smallpox this week in the affected district, some seven miles west of Springdale. Henry. Holloway, living three miles southwest of Elm Springs and Rel Aaron, an inmate of the same home. died Sunday Zan Phil lips son of N A Phillips, died "Wednesday morning. This is the second death in the Phillips family, and another member of the family, Miss Bettie Phillips. has the disease. There have been three deaths in the Holloway family, Mrs Holloway hay ing died several days ago, Mir Aaron having contracted the disease from Mrs. Holloway. his sister, whom he went To nurse. X son of the Hollo- ways, aged about fourteen years, al so has the disease.
 E. R. Brown, wife and child, liv- ing in the same locality, are affect ed. but physicians report Mrs Brown as recovering, and with the others the disease has not advanced far enough to tell what the result will be. Mrs. Brown is a sister of Bert Carson
 So far there have been seven deaths. MT and Mrs Bert Carson. Mr. and Mrs Henry Holloway. Rel Aaron, Harland and Zan Phillips All these people contracted the di- sease from a family by the name of White, who came into this section few weeks ago from Mexico. The family is related to the Garsens and stopped with them. The members of the White family had been vacci- mated about three years ago, and none of them ever contracted the di sease, but they brought it here in their clothing. The Holloways, Whites. Browns and Carsons are all related, and the disease in the vari ous families all sprang from the same source.
 Martin Davis. living two miles vets of Elm Springs, has the small pox, but in mild form, having con tracted it from a different source to those mentioned above.
 It will be seen that the disease is being closely confined to those who were first exposed Strict quarantine is being maintained, and every pre- caution is being taken to prevent the spread of the disease. Physicians advise The News there is no cause for alarm. It is strongly urged that all persons be vaccinated Investiga- tion shows that no thoroughly vac clnated person exposed has contract ed the disease, except one child, who had very light attack and was not really sick.

My Dear Sir:-
 There is no ground for the statement that Senator Clarke is either out of harmony with the Ad- ninistration or antagonistic toward me personally. He has at all times supported President Wilson in the fight for tariff reform and currency legislation, and have found him useful co-laborer in the matters I have taken before the Foreign Re tations Committee, of which he is prominent member. am glad to say these words in justice to Sen ator Clarke. You may quote them if you deem it worth while to answ- CT to the charges to which you re- fer.

The senate has dem. onstrated it's willingness to effective ly carry out the pledges made to the people in the Baltimore platform and the thanks Of the country are due to the democratic leadership for q wide-awake and progressive policy that will enable our party to retain and deserve the public confidence.
