fast amateur ball is to be expected.
Plans for the new league were de-
fnitely settled at the meeting of Vari-
Gus representatives held at Norwich

and the following officers elected:
President, Elliott r. Thorpe, West

southern division last Monday when

EFFORT TO SAVE WEST

Last Resort Is Special Session of Leg

Charleston, W. Va, April 13I.-An-
other effort by Adjutant General John
C. Bond to save the national guard
from being disbanded, because the late
legislature neglected to provide for
it's maintenance, failed today. Gen
eraI Bond asked Attorney General Lii
ly whether he could use the unexpend-
d balance of $780, 600 appropriated for
the guard during the Paint Creek coal
strike and the attorney general decided
that this would not be legal. Friends
of the guard now believe that every
resource has been exhausted and I'M
less a special session of the legislature
is called and the necessary appro-
priation made. the guard will go out
of existence within the next few weeks

governments part in the general
scheme of administration was only 4
fraction of what it is today.
"We ought to accustom ourselves
to meeting every September, or, at
the latest, October, and sitting
through until about June, taking only
the summer for holiday. We ought
to get away from the impression-a
survival of bygone days-that a rep
resentative or senator must get back
to attend to his business at home. His
business is to be here, giving ade-
quate attention to the business of leg
islating, and any other business he
may have is absolutely secondary.
"One of the most striking evils OF
Congress attempting to get these long
holidays was shown by the closing
days of the session just ended. In
stead of the careful consideration the
appropriation bills, carrying total
of over 100000, should have
received, they were all jammed
through in a few days-in days when
the Senate met from Is to "a hours.
Think of it, the Senate sat all one day
and right, recessing from 7 in the
morning to II, and then continued
from IL all that day, through the
night, and up until noon the next day,
when adjournment came by law
as it conceivable that under such
pressure as that the men elected by
the people to spend their money wise
ly and efficiently can do justice to the
task? AS it was, the right to legis-
late was entirely surrendered on two
important bills-that appropriatng
money for the postoffice department
and the Indian bill. On those Con-
gress merely continued last years ap-
preparations. Had there been no linn
itation providing that Congress must
adjourn March 4, undoubtedly the big
supply bills would have been much
more carefully considered, as a result
of which the government would get
much more nearly 100 cents of value
for each dollar expended"

at may be discovered that if we

and three decks, to guard against both
mines and torpedoes underneath, and
airship bombs from overhead, they

built are extremely vulnerable.
"Instead of two dreadnaughts, if we
were to build two big ships we should
have built two battle cruisers. Not
a single blow has been struck i'm this
war so far by dreadnaught. A num-
ber of them have been blown up, but
that did their country no particular
