Five Year Reserve.

Assuming the adoption of short
the passage Of the men thoroughly
trained in the school OF the regular
or standing army into the reserve and
that men so trained should not be
held in the reserve for longer
perold than five years, IL would
appear that the size OF the regu-
lar, or standing, army to be used as a
school for the training OF reservists
should be about 2O5 900 enlisted men.
III from such an army. organized
on "a basis of three years training. We
discharge yearly that Increment below
the grade OF sergeant which had COM
pleted its three years training, we would
have with due allowance for deaths,
&c, in the first year of its complete
operation an army Of 263,700 COS, 900
plus $500 reserves), in the second year
an army Of S22,400 100000 plus 7.40O
reserves: in the third year an army OF
3sl100 (2O5,00o plus 176,l0o reserves) /:
In tho fourth year an army of 439. 500
o305,od0 plus 23i, 500 r"Servesl; IN the
iitth year an army Of 49N,jOO eos, 600
plus $4,000 reserves. After this the
army would be maintained at the last
figure. and in addition We would be ac-
cumulating trained men in the second
reserve at the rate Of about 55, 1000 each
year.
mo reason Is seen why the same
principle as to reserves should not be
applied to the organized militia, and the
men trained in It's units be bound for
service for a period corresponding "a
that of the reservLsts for the regular
army"

Minneapolis, August 19.-Natural
causes controlled the recent advance
in the price of -four and the rise
was not due to any arbitrary action
of the Minneapolis millers, is the
opinion of c. w. Sterling, special
agent of the department of justice,
who has been in Minneapolis several
days studying the flour market.
"The millers explain that the
price of flour is controlled largely
by the price of wheat" said MIR.
Sterling today, upon completing his
Investigations. This seems reason,
able. The rise in wheat was due
to the war. The problem for us is
to ascertain IL there has been any
disproportion between the rise in
