Washington is making elaborate
preparations to receive the veterans
and the nations capital will be en- fete
during the week that the famous sol
diers are within her gates.
Government officials and the people
of the capital are a. unit in extending
invitations, through the press of the
country, to the nation to visit Wash
ington during g. A. r. week. Plans
are being perfected to make the en-.
campment and the grand review an
event of national Importance.
An elaborate program of entertain.
nient for the veterans and citizens
who visit the capital at that time, is
being prepared. The war department
and the navy department are cooper
ating in the program.
The former has arranged for exhibi.
ton drills of United States troops
cavalry. artillery and infantry. at Fort
Myer, which is suburb of Washing
ton. Some of the best soldiers in the
army are stationed at Fort Myer, par.
ticularly the cavalry, which numbers
among the enlisted men many of the
greatest riders in the world. Crack
batteries of light artillery are also
stationed at Fort Myer. Aeroplane
exhibitions. are to be given by the
Signal Corps. The Wright brothers
demonstrated in public the first aero
plane at Fort Myer
The navy department will have a
fleet of torpedobcat destroyers, sub.
marines, gunboats and a cruiser de,
tached from the Atlantic fleet and sent
up the Potomac river to Washington,
where the ships will remain during the
encampment. A big feature will be
camp fires, at which will be held re-
unions of the various corps of the
Union armies.
Just below Washington. on the Po-
tomac, is located Indian Head proving
grounds, where big guns for the navy

ing placed on battleships or in our
coast defenses. Tie veterans and Wis
itors will have G. opportunity to see
the operations at indian Head, as well
as scores of other places of interest
in or around Washington.
During encampment week opportu-
nifty will be afforded the veterans to
revisit Bull Run. Antitam. Appomattox
and other celebrated battlefieIds.

This summer, above all summers, is
the time in which to give momentum
and impetus to this invaluable system
Of training. Last year the number
of young men who took advantage
of the course amounted to 700 or 500.
This year. under the impulse of this
national crisis. the number should
increase to many thousand
Nor should we stop there. We must
also insist upon the establishment of
proper reserves for our organized
forces serving with the colors. In his
message to Congress last December,
President Wilson said:
I'VE must depend in every time of
national peril, in the future as in the
past, not upon standing army, nor
yet upon reserve army, but upon a
citizenry trained and accustomed to
arms"
This is sound doctrine but it
amounts to but idle words unless a
requisite number of the citizens upon
whom the president proposes to de-
pend have received the adequate in
struction necessary to convert them
from mob into an army
We must also insist that with all.
possible speed adequate supplies of
arms and munitions of war of all
necessary kinds be prepared for the
use of our regular army, our militia,
our reserves and our volunteers in
case they are called into action
In the face of this great RESPONSE
bility, which is testing our nation as
it has been seldom tested before, it
is time for us to strip of our SNUG
decisions and to bravely face the
facts which govern the world of to-
day; to realize that the voice of Amer
lea will be given just that weight and
no more in the councils of nations to
which it is entitled by the justice, the
temperance and the willingness to
make sacrifice on our part which lies
behind It.

TAP ABANDONED MINE
Under Ground Works of Old Stand
and Coal Co. Discovered.

During the latter part of last week
when the Shultz Coal Company was
driving a room in their mine north
west of this city. they ran into the
workings OF the old Standard Coal
company which operated here over
thirty years ago. The entry and
rooms of this old mine we're found in
the most perfect state of preserva-
ton. Not drop of water was found
throughout and practically no bad air
was noticeable.
The place where the Shultz people
ran into these old workings was
about "A quarter of a. mile from the
main shaft. In this place they found
the old tracks in the best of condi-
ton, no decay was evident and the
strangest part of the find was that
there was not a single cave-in
throughout the whole underground
works although no props were found,
the whole weight being supported by
an eXcellently built roof.
To find mine that has been aban-
doned for so long time in such an
excellent state of preservation was a
surprise to the party from the new
Shultz mine They Investigated the
majority OF the entries and rooms
and found all of them in the same
perfect condition. $40
