APPEAL MADE ID TRAIN YOUTH
 IN USE 0f GUN
National Board for Promo tion of Rifle Practice of the War Department Calls Attention to Unpreparcd- ness for Service.
Especial to The Republican,

WASHINGTON. D. C. May 24.-The Rifle Practice today made public q stirring appeal for the training of the youth of America in the care and effec- tive use of the army rifle. The appeal is as follows;
 With the call for volunteers hanging in the balance. again We are faced with the alternative of sending un- trained youth from their homes to the battle field. All experiences of the past, however bitter, have been disre- garded by our law makers when it comes to providing for partial training of those young men who will constl- ute the major portion of our army ln case of war. Recruits can be taught tO march. drill and take care of them selves in the field in a comparatively short period. but such is not the case with the care and effective use of the service arm.
 long step in the right direction has been taken by the present congress when it enacted into law. through a paragraph in the army appropriation bill. authority for the war department to issue rifles and ammunition free to 1 civilian rifle clubs and school cadet corps When the regular army was re- armed in 1903 with the so-called new | Springfield rifle, the government had on hand, in addition to those turned in 1 by the troops, about 300, 900 of the arm then in use by the army, popularly l called the ''Krag Although the new arm in some respects is superior to the old one. nevertheless the krae' has

In Northern States

FL PASO. May 24.-The situation in northern Mexico is characterized by uncertainty due to strict censorship and inadequate telegraph service. Vil- las return to Torreon with the major portion of his army is explained by telegrams from Saitillo in which it is stated the federals in retreating de- stroyed entirely the railroad between Saltillo and San Luis Potosi. This, it is considered, occasioned the return of the insurgent army to take the route by railroad to the next objective point. The exact whereabouts of Carranza is in doubt.
 Only speculative strategy suggested the next city to be attacked. Tele grams dated Friday said that Villa on that day had been in Saltillo. Later messages predicted his departure for the north and others told of his arrival at Torreon.
 Carranza was last heard from at Durango.
 The censorship of Villas staff off Gers on press messages from the front appeared to have become stricter than ever. in some instances they appearing to have altered telegrams. An order that has been issued that no telegrams. unless written in Spanish, may pass over the national telegraph wires.

VERA CRUZ. May 2i.-Officials of the Huerta government are preparing to replace the track along the line of the Mexican railway, which was torn up by General Gustavo Maas in his retreat from Vera Cruz.
 The general purchasing agent of the Mexican National Railways who called at Brigadier- General FunstOn's headquarters today. said the work of replacing the track would probably be started at once and may be com pleted in q week or so.

tional defense that citizens should be trained in the use of the service arm Rifle instruction is the keynote of na- tional defense of Switzerland. If we were to train our citizens in the same proportion as that small republic. We would have about three million trained civilian expert riflemen. Although the government has before this done little to stimulate and promote such training, We have an organization which was organized and which exists entirely for this purpose-the National Rifle Asso- citation of America-through whose whose patriotic efforts many clubs have been organized not only among civilians but in colleges and schools throughout the country.
 A serious handicap to the proper de- velopment of this movement is the lack of rifle ranges. With the growth of cities and the increasing value of land generally, rifle ranges have been swept away ny the onward march of progress until there are very few large ranges left in the country. thus bringing about a situation where Uncle Sam says to his citizens go take this rifle and am munition and perfect yourself in it's use" But how can he do so if there are no ranges available? Therefore, unless the issue of rifles and ammuni- tion is followed by the construction of ranges where civilians can practice, such issue will not accomplish the re- suits desired by the government.

THE KENTUCKY POTATO
PATCH SHORT THIS YEAR

Washington. d. c. Aug. 31.-The
Kentucky Irish potato patch con-
tains $1,000 acres this year and the
total production will be approx
-mately 2,422,OOO bushels. according
to estimates made by the United
States Crop Reporting Board. The
condition of the crop is so per cent
of normal and the present price is
averaging around $1.25 per bushel.
In Continental United States
there are S,70S,00O acres planted to
this product and this years produc-
tion is estimated at >360.614.000
bushels by the Federal Department
of Agriculture. This years crop
will exceed the average crop of the
past five years by approximately A.
100000 bushels. The nations pro-
duction last year was 331.a25, 900
bushels. produced on 3,66S,000 acres
of land and sold for $227,903,000,
or an average of 80 cents per
bushel.

COST OF KILLING MAN
Is FIGURED At $23.OOt

What does it cost to kill man in
war?
Probably $4,000 in the present
conflict.
The cost of killing one soldier is
obtained by dividing the cost of a
war to any of the belligerents by
the number of men killed on the
other side.
In the Franco Prussian War of
1S70-71 the cost of killing each man
was $21 900. But the cost of every
material of warfare has advanced
substantially since then. 1t is safe
to estimate--unless the terrific de-
struction of machine guns upsets
precedent-that to bring about a
soldiers death will cause an expen-
diture of $4,000 on the other side.
France spent $500, 100000 in ac-
tual expenses of that war and $780,
100000 in repairing materials, gfv-
ing help to fatherless families and
other uses. The German dead num-
bered $500. For every one of
these France spent approximately
$21 900.
The figures of the Russo-Turkish
War of 1S77-1S give an average of
81 5000 for every one killed.
Ii cost Russia $l,200,000,000 to
kill $500 Japanese in the war of
1905. making the cost OF the indi-
vidual Staying s20,400.
Fatigue, typhus or cholera will. of
course, kill the greatest number and
reduce the effective force of the ar
mics. In the Crimean War four
times as many died through disease
as We're killed in battle. Advanced
hygiene undoubtedly will do much
to cut down these figures.
