HALF MILLION
READY FOR WAR

get at least $4,000 young men who
could be made valuable soldiers in a
short time. Veterans of the Spanish
American war by thousands prOba bly,
would enlist and could be whipped
into shape within a few weeks or
months.
The fact that for months England
France and Russia have been largely
dependent upon the United States for
war supplies has made it possible for
the United States to prepare for any
emergency in far less time than ever
before when danger threatened.
Military Motor Cars.
American automobile manufacture
ers are now at work turning out the
latest designs in military conveyances
for the belligerents abroad. These
concerns could fill every demand of
this government within four weeks,
it is estimated here.
American shoe and clothing manu-
facturers also have been busy on war
contracts for months past they, too,
could fill all government orders in
time for the organization of any army
which the United States might place
in the field.
Similarly with American medical
supply concerns. They have every
remedy and every instrument needed
in military hospitals. The large forces
of American doctors and nurses in
Europe, it is expected would be called
upon to augment the medical depart
ment of the army, if necessary, while
the many church and social organiza-
lions which have been preparing
bandages and clothing for the wound
ed of the European armies are ready
to prepare similar materials for the
United States if needed.
Everything in Readiness.
Secretary of War Garrison al
though bitterly regretting the state of
in which the United
States exists, has done everything
within his power to prevent a recur-
renee of events such as characterized
the mobilization for the Spanish
American war. For weeks the war
department has peen in close touch
with all American firms manufacture
ing war materials of any sort
Arrangements have been completed
so that the slightest request of the
government will be given the right
of way over all other contracts and
business Though he has not much OF
an army, Secretary Garrison is pre-
pared to outfit a mighty fighting
force. The question is. will he need
to do so?

LAY BLAME TO PARCEL POST.
Deep Inroads Made in Express Com
pany Revenues in Nine Months.

Further evidence of the inroads

companies were operated at a loss in
operating income.

There is also more or less complaint
from the baseball magnates in the ma

GUILTY CONSCIENCE
LED BOOTLEGGER TO
DESERT HIS BOOZE
Dropped Two Grips Filled With
Peach Brandy While Globe
Sleuth Watched Him DeCamp
in Panic.

GLOBE, Ariz., oct while on his r
way to the train Tuesday evening,
Deputy Sheriff Gilmer captured CON
signment of liquor as the direct re-
suit of guilty conscience ON the part
of the importer. A peculiar feature
of the affair was the fact that after
gaining possession of the shipment
the deputy was unaware for some
time of the prize within his grasp.
Shortly after the train arrived, the
officer strolled down to the depot
partly out of curiosity regarding the
arrivals and partly through a desire
to view the prehistoric remains of the
passenger station. Passing man,
heavily laden with two suitcases, the
deputy casually nodded ard walked
on. He had not taken more than few
steps when, for some unaccountable
reason, he turned and looked at the
man. As he did so, the fellow care
fully deposited the grips on the
ground and sprinted ub the street at
top speed, leaving the officer gaping
at the performance in open mouthed
amaZement.
For over an hour Deputy Gilmer
stood guard over the luggage for fear
It would be stolen before the owners
return Finally wearying of the VIZ
gil, he took the suitcases 10 the coun.
~ jail Swinging them up on a coun-
ter a peculiar clink was heard. In
stantly the situation flashed over the
official and the luggage was opened
The grips were found to contain six
gallons of peach brandy and an eX-
tensive wardrobe, consisting Of a dir
ty pair of socks, a collar and a hand
kerchief
Although the man is known to the
officers. no warrant was issued for
his arrest, as, according to the rate of
speed at which he was travelling when
last seen. he is probably in the inter
ior Of Mexico at the present time
