THE NATIONAL GUARD

Criticism of the War Departments proposed reorgan-
zaon of the National Guard of the District OF C0lloa
suggests how badly that body, and perhaps others III
various states may need reorganization.
Many men with military experience who nave at nearo
the interests of the National Guard OF the country nave
neaded for more attention to military aspects and less
to the social phases These officers have emphasized that
National Guard is neither gentlemens club nor a
social fraternity
Men in the ranks of the Guard and citizens in general
will welcome the plans Of the War Department to make IN
the National Capital model for similar organizations IN
the states.
With the best military experts at hand such steps
should have been taken in Washington long ago.
1t is always to be borne in mind that the Guard must
be made attractive to the men, or they will not enlist and
will not re-enst Enlistment is voluntary, and the most
rigorous sort of discipline applied with view to prodqc-
ing the = highest fcenfy gnt o fedeas 6 en It's 0" emu 0
Membership in the National Guard is well worth while
in many ways. 1t carries social, athletic, camping and
other privileges that should appeal to young men, 1t af
fords disciplinary training of greater worth to the
youth who gets it than he is likely to realize at the time

GERMANY HAS BEST OF WAR NOW

The German kaiser has undoubtedly proved himself
the greatest military genius Of the age, since he is in
reality commandernchef Of the great war machine Of
the empire Most Of his time is spent at the 'front.' if we
may believe the advices from the seat of war
There is no doubt if the were to come to an end
now the military experts would be compelled to award
the palm of victory to the Germans. They have inflicted
crushing defeats upon Russia and their sedgehammer
blows beginning to make it open question whether
the czars armies will be able much longer to offer
terial resistance to the Teutonc advance.
1t may be expected soon that, having disposed of the
Russians for the time being at least Germany will be in
position to either strike in the other theaer of
defensive France is still potential and Italy
gives promise of results but in England upon which
nation obviously great dependence must be placed from
now on the appeals for munitions and recruits Of
such character as to denote temporary weakness Eng
lands part in the has far been Of most disap
pointing character to those who hoped to see Germany
vanquished.
Having whipped the Russians in Galcia, thereby gain
ing an immense strategic and moral advantage and being
in position to stand pat on the other side of the fo
an indefinite period Germany certainly at the present
time, has the best of it.

VICTIMS OF RAIL
ROAD CROSSING.
Car Wrecked and Two Men Ser
iOusly Injured.

Friday night on the return
from the Good Roads meeting in
Kansas City, a car containing
Judge John F. Larkin and EN-
NETT Burgess, driven by Henry
Carter, all of Wellington, was
run into a train at the Fifteenth
street crossing and completely
demolished. The occupants of
the car with the exception of
Mr.. Burgess, who jumped in
time to save himself, were very
seriously injured. Mr.. Carter
was quite seriously injured.
Judge Larkin, while painfully
bruised, is not considered to be
in a dangerous condition. Mr..
Burgess was only bruised about
the knees.
Soon after the accident other
cars came up, and the injured
ones were taken to a police sta
tion for emergency treatment,
and against the advice of the
more level headed, they were
then loaded into a car and
brought to their homes in Well
ingtOn, instead of taking them
to hospital.
When the injured arrived at
the police station, the officers in
charge of the station were more
intent in getting their state
ments than they were in giving
them medical attention. This
brutal procedure was stopped
on the arrival of others who had
heard of the accident and has
tened to lend their assistance.

ELKS FROLIC ON
THE DIAMOND
Leans ROmp Home with a Good
Lead. Is to 13 the Verdict.

Lcdu' 10 W 10 lne NefOlcI.
"The errors Of our brothers we
write upon the sands, their hits
upon the tablets Of love and
memory" 0, you sands!
The Elks yesterday after many
postponements by order of the
weather man, had one of the few
rainless days of the summer
for their day and mite frolic. The
frolic, yes, we believe that is the
correct word, consisted mainly
of base ball game between the
transparent and opaque mem
bers Of the Benevolent and Pro-
tective Order of Elks, Lexing-
ton, Mo-, U. S. A. The game was
lots Of fun yesterday; but to-
day, perhaps, many who par
ticipated, incline to a reversed
opinion.
The players gathered at the
club rooms and with the Con-
cOrdia band leading, marched to
the ball field. There were plav-
ers enough for seventeen teams
and most everyone had an op-
portunity to show their wares.
The game started with the
leans at the bat and ended the
same way. There were hits a
plenty and errors ditto. The
comebacks were many, notice
able among them was Albert Gil
len, who accepted seventy-two
chances without a bobble. His
record yesterday was unique and
will be a mark for comebacks for
centuries to come. He hit 'em
a mile and ate up the paths a la
Cobb.
The jumps was attired in an
immaculate suit of Palm Beach
and his umping was as spotless
as his suit. He was heavily
armed and whenever the secur-
ity Of position was threatened,
he did not hesitate to "draw" to
restore the beligerent to a
proper frame Of mind.
Features of the game: The
long walk out to the grounds in
the boiling sun, the "beefing" of
Captain Grady, the fielding of
"Less" Wilson, the stealing of
third by Fuzzy" with that
station already populated, the
base running of Bill" Wern-
wag, Jim" Forester's uniform,
the many paid admissions, the
popularity of the autos on the
return trip, the bath tub after
wards, Otto's pitching, the pop
"Westy" consumed, etc, ad in
initum.
At night the festivities were
transferred to the Elks Club,
where there was music, dancing
and eating. The Concordia
band, which by the way, is with
out a peer in the state, gave a
concert of popular music from
the front porch. This was en-
Joyed by large number of peo-
pie. Refreshments of ice cream,
ices and cake were served.
Everybody apparently had a
good time, which was really the
most essential thing besides the
money. vg Tgls WI sSE b

Death of Phillip B. Marshall.

- AAAAAk A-s AAeAA foAAellAs
Phillip B. Marshall, a widely
known citizen Of this city, died
Wednesday morning at $3.50
o'clock at his home, 1921 Main
street, after a brief illness. His
death was due to complications
resulting from adhesions in the
abdominal cavity. Mr.. Marshall
was taking his annual vacation,
and was not taken seriously ill
until last Saturday, when his
condition became alarming. All
efforts on the part of his physi-
clan to bring about a condition
when an operation would be pos
sible were unavailing.
Mr.. Marshall was born on a
farm near Lexington, February
26, 1866. His whole life had
been scent in this community,
where he was well known and
respected. He was appointed a
rural carrier July ID, 1899. He
was the second rural carrier ap-
pointed in the United States, and
was the oldest in point of SER
vic. He was careful and pains
taking in the performance of
the duties pertaining to the SER
vice, besides accommodating to
the patrons on his route when
ever such Accommodations did not
conflict with his duties. He was
honest in all his dealings and
bore the good will of all who
knew him.
Mr.. Marshall was married
April Is, 1908, to Miss Marie
Coss. Besides his wife he is
survived by one son, Clovis; his
mother, Mrs. Minerva Marshall !;
three sisters, Mrs. James Cat
ron, Marshall, Mo-, Mrs. Ed
Earl, Kansas City, Mo-, Mrs.
w. A. Eastabrook, Lexington,
and Miss Fannie Marshall of CAL
ifornia; three brothers, Fred of
st. Louis, John-of Chicago, and
Charles Of Kansas City.
Mr.. Marshall was a member of
the Methodist church of this
city, and of the Woodmen of the
World.
The funeral was held yester-
ddy AFTERNOON at a O'Clock at
the Methodist chuch. Rev. R.
N. Allen assisted by Rev. S. O.
