that the United States army has taken
since its inception. We don't want a
tremendous standing army; not by any
means But we want a reserve force
that can take the field at a moments
notice, equipped, prepared and ready
to fight the moment the command
comes"
Cost Of Training $50.
The expenses are small and, exclu-
sive Of railroad fares, do not exceed
$50 for Il month Of training. Uniforms
and special clothing cost about 500;
board and other camp expenses do not
exceed $50; all arms and other equip
ment are furnished by the United
States army without cost.
At $50 in the morning the bugle
sounds, and the men turn out for short
exercises to timber up their muscles;
then follow breakfast and time for put
ting the tents In shape and for a swim
in Lake Champlain, on the. edge Of
which the Plattsburg camp is pitched.
The mornings are given up to the
manual Of arms, marching and the es-
sentials which every soldier, and es-
pecially every officer, must know.
In the afternoons the training is more
specialized, and the men select their
courses. There are cavalry drills, in
which the polo players Of the east ex-
Gel, and there are courses in signaling,
field artillery, military hygiene, mill
tary map making, etc.
Great attention is given to target
work with the rifles. By the end Of
the first week the men are ready for
patrol and scout work and marching.
This gradually develops as the men
become experienced and hardened, for
the officers realize that business and
professional men have been living sed-
entary lives and must be given time
to get in shape.
Battalion problems develop in which
"team play" is Of first importance-re-
sistance to an attack on the flank of a
road column, delaying actions, prepar-
Ing and holding a defensive position
and, lastly, the covering Of a retreat.
In this work the men get a real taste
of trench digging and range work.
Officers are now receiving hundreds
Of applications from all over the coun-
try to be placed in the new training
camps.

Wonderful Work Of Waaner.


Hans Wagner made the hundredth
home run Of his career recently, there
by making an unequaled record. The
grand old man of baseball has never
gone through a campaign without one
or more home runs, and there have
been seasons when he made as many
as ten or eleven circuit drives.
1t is questionable If the player will
ever live who can duplicate Wagner's
remarkable batting record. In 2,4S6
championship games that he has play
ed to date he has made, besides his 100
homers, 1920 singles, 575 doubles and
236 triples, or a grand total of 4,47S
bases.
Wagner may not last much longer.
Within a few years he probably will
retire, but it is decidedly doubtful If
his equal will ever be seen in base
ball. Cobb is a great player, but he IS
not the versatile athlete that Wagner
is. who has played every position in
the infield and outdeld and starred in
them all.

DAHlEN HARDEST MAN TO
TOUGH, SAYS EvERS.

I'm all my years of ball play
ing" said Johnny Evers recently,
the man l found it hardest to
touch with the ball as he came
down to second base from first
was Bill Dahlen.
"Dahlen always came straight
down the base line, directly ut
the base, but in the last ten feet
Of the distance there was no tell
ing what he would do.
He had a great way of antici-
pating where the throw from
the catcher was coming, and he
played his slide to a nicely.
Coming straight along, he sud-
denly would fall down on his
hips, to one side or the other,
spread his legs and then use the
greatest clcverness in pulling out
Of reach and twisting himself to
hook the base with either foot.
There are other men whom l
have found it difficult to tag at
second, and among them are To-
bert, HcrZog, Bescher, Byrne,
Magee, Miller. Higgins and Wag-
ner."

schooled into a real soldierly educa-
ton.
1.-The United States army today"
said this offer. us in such shape that
for Us small a force as 1t is it Is a
splendid fighting machine. The new
reorganization army bill calls for g.
GOO men for foreign service. This will
mean a great drain on the supply Of
officers in this country. In addition,
the men available for home duty are
about twice as many as the police
force of New York.
1--WE could never have a large army
in this country. But you cannot find
a single officer in the regular army
who isn't in favor of universal mill
tary service. Orators may say that 1t
is repugnant to a free republic to COM
pei men to serve in the army. But the
professional servants Of all who start
all the wars that we must fight for
them believe that the United States
finally must come to the point where
she will compel her citizens to serve
in the army. Australia does it. Swift
zerland does it. Switzerland can mo-
billie 100000 men in twenty-four
hours. She can get 100000 to the front
III three days. She did that last Au-
gust, and that's the reason that the
Germans went through Belgium per-
haps.
A Million Men For War.
I'VE would need a million men to-
morrow for war. That would take
$4,000 officers. Our plan Is to have
men step from civilian life to CON-
mand, fit to take charge Of the men
under them. That's the purpose Of this
school. We could not take militia off,
GERS In case Of war to have command
Of regular soldiers. With the regular
army and the militia we could put on
the field Of battle today about 100000
men. 1t has been the rule Of war, ac-
cording to statistics, that In the first
six months Of Il war the loss to each
side is usually about 80 per cent Of the
total force. We need a reserve to fill
the gaps that would be opened. We
must get them among the people Of the
country. 1t takes six months to make
Il fair soldier and II year to train a
satisfactory one. To train men to be
soldiers YOU need officers. That's the
purpose OF this school-to have a re-
serve corps Of officers that could step
into the breach tomorrow and train
men and equip them both mentally and
physically to lead n million soldiers In
the field within six months of the out
break Of any war against this country.
Lessons W. Havo Learned.
Kitchener has 100000 men in the
rear Of the last line Of trenches in
France, and they in many cases lack
rifles and ammunition, while the artil-
lery is practically powerless because it
has not high explosive shells. The
German has been prepared. He has
been thorough, and the result is that
not n battle has occurred ON German
soil in the past year Of warfare, de-
spite the fact that the two kaisers are
practically fighting three-quarters of
Europe. Those are the lessons that
we want to learn, and that's why Cen
eral Wood has hit on this plan to start
a school for officers. It Is n of the
best and most progressive movements

CARTHAGE WOMAN
TELLS HAPPY STORY

Mrs. Laura Duke of Carthage, Tenn,
was a victim of stomach disorders for
several years. She lost appetite and
her weight fell off. She could not rest
at night.
She took Mayr's Wonderful Remedy

restored.
In fact, Mrs. Dukes recovery was
SO rapid she was afraid that it could
be only temporary. So she waited
from September, when she took the
remedy, until the following February
to pass judgment. Then she wrote:

"My weight was 1271S pounds; now
it is 147la, and l can eat anything

Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives per-
manent results for stomach, liver and
