MILITARY PREPAREDNESS

San Francisco, July l7.-Chamr
Clark. speaker of the house of repre-.
sentatives, was inspired by the recep.
tion of the Liberty bell here today To
discuss the need of greater military
preparedness to preserve To citizens
Of the United States that liberty of
which the bell is an historic symbol.
In the course of his remarks, he
said:
II differ toto coeto with the pro-
ponents Of peace at any price. That
Is an amazing, demoralizing, a de-
grading doctrine.
"On the other hand. am utterly op-
posed to those who advocate a large
standing army, and to those who ad-
vocate navy equal TO the two big
gest navies in the world. am not a
jingo-God forbid! l hope most pro-
foundly there will never be another
war--particularly another to which
we are party, but knowing that hu-
man nature has not changed a jot or
title since Adam and Eve were driv-
en- with flaming swords from Para
disc. | am in favor of putting the
country in such posture that if war
should for any reason become neces-
sary we may emerge from il conquer
ors, as we have been in all our wars.
Towards the consumation of this
plan | am in favor of doubling the
number of cadets at West Point and
OF making IL obligatory upon the Sec
retary of war TO detail an army Off
Ger TO any school, college or univer-
sity whic,, will furnish minimum of
200 students to drill. In that way
and at the least possible cost we
would in few years have enough
drilled men to officer volunteer
army of million soldiers, IL needs
be.
I'm fact, there would be wisdom in
a scheme by which in addition TO the
cadets educated free by the govern
ment at West Point and Annapolis.
any boy possessing the prescribed
qualifications might on reasonable
terms be educated at those two great
institutions. The surplus West Point
ers could be used to advantage in
drilling the youths of the land, while
the surplus naval graduates would
make splendid officers for the great
merchant marine which President
Wilson and some of the rest of us
are determined to place on the high
seas from which our flag has almost
entirely disappeared.
I'VE should also have a well drilled
and well equipped National Guard TO
be used for strictly national purposes
on the principle enunciated by Thom-
as Jefferson, "a well-disciplined mil
itia--our best reliance in peace and
for the first moments Of war, till reg
ulars may relieve them
ut seems that If little Switzerland
can mobilize in few days an army
OF half million well drilled men by
means of her system of military edu-
cation and discipline-the cheapest
system known among men and SIf-
iicently effective-we could by such
application of her system as fits our
case, In a year or two, be able TO
mobilize an army of two million of
well disciplined men at cost which
to us would be a mere bagatelle-
which would be a most effective in
surance for this country and all her
citizens and their interests"

EXPRESSION RECITAL

The recital given by Miss Christine
Finney, assisted by Miss Mionette
Sandusky, at the Center Street Meth
odist church, last Friday evening, was
well attended and each number was
highly appreciated as was shown by
the numerous encores and the hearty
responses of Misses Finney and San
dusky.
Miss Finney will perhaps form a
class in connection with the schools
Of Tucumcari and teach expression.

was one of our best citizens, being
member Of Royal Arch Masons and
other organizations.
The Masonic lodge and "a number Of
the engineers went to the residence
about 2:30 this Thursday afternoon
and escorted the remains of Mr.. Eriok-
ley to the Presbyterian church where
ut 300 o'clock the funeral services
were conducted by his pastor, Rev.
o. w. Hearn Of the Christian church,
assisted by the Rev. p. B. Henderlite
pastor of the Presbyterian church.
Seats were reserved for the Masons
and Enginemen and the big church
was filled to its capacity with many
standing on the outside TO pay their
last respects to the deceased.
After the impressive services ut the
church the body was taken to the Sum
nyside cemetery, where the Masons
took charge of II and fittingly buried
the departed member in the usual
way.
About fifty members were present
and the procession was one of the

An Innovation which may prove a
special boon TO the feminine commuter
was the three piece dress, apparently
a simple suit of black. blue or brown
broadcloth, but when the coat Is thrown
back the dark colored skirt proves to
be merely a dark strip OF an otherwise
light afternoon gown. This model was
seen in many variations, each showing
how simple II is to transform a
street suit into an afternoon dress. An
other thing hat might appeal to the
woman was the low necked
and short sleeved waist, worn with a
velvet afternoon tailored suit and ac-
companied by long, black mbtts. The
old fashioned motive was visible in the
''poufs." or tiny bustles, and in n mod

WAsHINGToN. Sept, 27.-Though the
report OF the board of inspections with

BORDER FIGHTING WORSE
Many Nexicans Found Dead--No
American Loss Reported.

GALVESTON. Sent. 27.-As a result OF
The recent battle between American n
Mexican soldiers at Progreso the race
war on the border has grown worse.
Thirty lead Mexicans have been found
within the last twenty-four hours near
San Benito, Mission, Progreso, Chaplin
and Mercedes.
The bodies lay along the a and in
The brush. Whether they were killed
n fights or were shot down on sight
cannot be learned. Hatred for all
Mexicans along the river was mani-
tested In demonstrations to-day when
even Mexican employees at some OF the
ranches were driven out. So far as
can be learned no Americans have lost
their lives.
Residents at the places near where
bodies were found profess TO know
nothing of how the Mexicans met their
death. A bullet hole in the head gen.
orally told the tale.
One OF the interesting features of
to-day's developments Is the fortifica-
ton of Matamoras against probable in
Hasion, The custom house near the
International bridge has been barricaded
and new trenches have been dug. Heavy
guards are thrown out about the city.
At Brownsville the opinion prevails that
Nafarrate Is preparing to defend the
city against any move Americans may
make 10 quell border trouble.
Eight Mexicans are reported killed In
battles in Hidalgo and Star counties
To-day. The fights took place about
twenty miles from the river after sew
eral raids had been made. No soldiers
took part in the fighting.
From Harlinger comes the report that
light artillery is being moved to the Rio
Grande with a view of driving raiding
bands from the Mexican side OF the
boundary.
From various places along the river
comes the report that Mexican soldiers
are again intrenching themselves. Army
othcials declare that though there Is a
llll in activities the trouble is not over
and advise citizens to not approach the
boundary.
