FARMERS NEED NO DlRECTAID
Secretary Houston Takes Up Subject
Of Loans In Report.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Secretary
Houston of the department OF agricul-
ture, In his annual report to President
Wilson, says that there Is no emer-
gency which justihes government as
sistance to farmers directly through
the use of government cash or credit.
The new bank law is aimed to pro-
vide for the farmers credit and cash
requirements, but the needs of the
community beyond those cared for
under the federal law should be cared
for by system of cooperative credit
associations" financed with private
funds and by land mortgage banks
privately financed, Houston says.
Secretary Houston asks congress
for an additional emergency appro-
priation of several million dollars on
account Of the recent outbreak Of the
foot and mouth disease among cattle.

II believe" said the senator, that
laws should be passed at once which
will reorganize the regular army
This reorganization should give to the
mobile army the proper proportion OF
infantry, field artillery, cavalry. en-
gineers, signal, sanitary troops, the
needed ammunition and supply trains
and provide for properly equipped de
pots.
The law must provide that the men
serve the shortest time with the col
ors necessary TO train them as sol
diers, and then pass them as soon as
trained to a reserve, and that while
serving in this reserve the men must
be paid. Make the enlistment agf
eighteen to twenty-one years with
consent OF parents and twenty-five
years as limit for first enlistment"
In addition to the national reserve
force Senator Weeks would have 8

seem to me that 1t is wise or prudent

reorganization, not for the purpose OF
increasing the permanent active army
but for the organization OF reserve
corps which would make available
large forces OF trained soldiers at all

A small brass ring encircled the
pigeons neck, to which was fastened
