DETAILS OF GREAT ARMY
Secretary Garrison Makes Public Our.
National Defense Program CaIis
For 100000 Men.

Washington. - An outline Of the
armys part in the national defense
program to be submitted to Congress
In December by the administration has
been made public by Secretary Garri-
son, disclosing officially for the first
time details of the plan to raise a
great continental or citizen army to
supplement the regular establishment.
In brief, it is proposed to increase
the regular army from 108,0OS to 141,-
SAB officers and men, changing the
term of enlistment from four years
with the colors and three years on
furlough to two years with the colors
and four years on furlough; to organ
lie a federal citizen army Of 100000,
to be enlisted $4,000 year for three
years; to strengthen the state militia
by increased appropriations and closer
cooperation, and to spend $30,OO0,O00
a year for four years on coast de-
lenses, and $26,000,000 year for four
years in the accumulation Of reserve
material for use by force Of 100000
men.
Mr.. Garrison says that the trainers
of the new policy are fully conscious
of the possibility of formulating mill
tary policies much better in theory,
but that latter concentrated consider
alton of existing legal and other condi-
tions, they think it will be found that
almost insuperable objections and diff
ficulties arise in carrying into prac-
teal operation suggestions that from
the military standpoint might other
wise be very acceptable"
The statement reveals that in the
preparation Of their plans War De-
partment officials have called into
consultation specialists in various
lines of private industry.

HELP RUSHED TO sERvIA
Vigorous Support Will Be Given Serbs.
British and French Landing Daily
at Saloniki.

London.-The vigorous support Her.
bert H. Asquith, the British premier,
and Aristide BRAND, the new French
premier, have promised Servia seem
ngly is about to be realized. Besides
the Anglo-French troops, including
British cavalry, already in Southern
Servia, British and French transports
are arriving daily in Salonki and fresh
troops are being rushed to the front
to attempt to check the bulgarian
march from Veles toward Monastlr,
while other transports, according to
Sofia dispatch, have landed troops at
Kavala, Greek port on the Aegean
Sea, near the Bulgarian border. At
the same time, the diplomats continue
their efforts to secure the support OF
Greece and Roumania for Servia, who
fought with them in the last Balkan
war.
AS time passe, however, Servia's po-
sition grows more critical. The Austro-
German drive from the north proceeds
slowly, but surely, while two Bulgarian
armies are approaching Nish from
which place the Servian government
has moved to Mistrovitza, near the
Montenegrin frontier. The Servians,
nevertheless, are fighting stern defens-
i've battles, and from the German &C
counts it is apparent that their main
armies are making good their retreat
and levaing, as the Russians did in
Galcia and Poland, very little except
what cannot be moved-such as cop
per mines-for the invaders.
There is no further news Of the Brit
ish expedition which several days ago
was reported off Varna, Bulgaria's
chief seaport. The opinion is held in
the entente allied countries that Rou-
mania, where there is continued agi-
tation in favor of Intervention on their
side, will allow the forces of Emperor
Nicholas to move across her territory.

TWELVE OTHERS MISSING IN
FIRE THAT BURNS OUT
CANDY FACTORY.
MANY VICTIMS ARE GIRLS
Four-Story Building In Brooklyn Is
Destroyed Quickly When Flames
Break Out in Basement-4o
Are Injured.

New York.-Thirteen men and girls
lost their lives in fire that destroyed
an old four-story brick and wooden
factory building in the Williamsburg
section of Brooklyn. A search of the
ruins is expected to uncover the bod
les of IL other victims, eight of them
girls, reported as missing. OF the 46
injured, who were in hospitals, many
were expected to die, and score more
were less seriously burned and
bruised.
Normally there were 800 employees
of the candy manufacturers in the
building, but more than third had
been dismissed for a Saturday half
holiday before the fire started.
The flames were discovered by a
girl employee in the basement and were
soon roaring up the elevator shaft
around which wound the principal
stairway.
There was one other stairway in
the rear and some Of the entrapped
persons escaped by that, but before
NnC ia CnOA d4AANCu AAOA ohO WOhiOA
were 1eaping from the windows. The
flames had swiftly mushroomed from
the elevator shaft into the fourth floor
and scarcely had the first streams Of
water entered the building when the
roof collapsed. The other floors soon
after fell one by one.
The disaster was the worst factory
fire in New York since the Triangle
Waist Company was burned out sew
eral years ago with loss of 148 lives.

Not Guilty.

There had been railway collision
near a country town in Virginia, and
a shrewd lawyer had hurried from
Richmond to the scene Of the disaster.
He noticed an old colored man with u
badly injured head, and hurried up to

ground.
How about damages?" began the
lawyer.
But the sufferer waved him off.

Ancients Used Gas Warfare.

The earliest use of deleterious gases
in siege warfare is recorded in the
history of the Peloponnesian wars
from 431 to 404 B. c. During this
struggle between the Athenians and
Spartans and their respective allies
the cities of Platea and Delium were
besieged.
Wood saturated with pitch and sui
phur was set on fire and burned under
the walls of these cities in order to
generate choking and poisonous fumes
which would stupefy the defenders
and render the task of the attacking
forces less difficult.

PAYING OUR

THERE is a institution in New York city which terms itself the
Lafayette Fund and its object is to raisef funds for the soldiers of France
and those allied with them in the wa The appeal is made o the press
of the country to publish notices asking for the funds and to impore the
people to De liberal. The plea is made when in the SHOWS of Valley
Forge your ancestors struggled to GREAT this republic, the people who
came to Il cir aid were Lafayette and the people of France"
The allies of France today are the English. The Lafayette fund is
for the French and the allies.
If it Lad not have been for the action of the English there would
have been no suffering at Valley Forge.
1t would seem to us to be something of m insult to the memory of
those old heroes of Valley Forge to give money to aid the English today.
What los America owe to England that she should send her money
and her goods to aid her soldiers in a war?
Did England send any aid to the United States at the time of the
great civil war? Certainly not! On the other hand England did every
thing possible to disrupt the Union. England was the friend of the south
when the future of the Uion in doubt.
On the other hand, Germany was the friend of the United States.
Some of IL greatest Union generals weree educated in Germany, were men
OF German extraction.
Let the United States be neutral in every way. Let us OF aid either
side but If we do let us pick our friends.
The l. aders Of the The Lafayette Fund claim that America owes n
great debt to France. Well, England made that debt s o let England pay
it now-Carson News.
