A. =. Wolfe Seeks Super
visOr's Office in Beat 4

Mr. A. S. Wolfe has authorized the
announcement of his name as a candi-
date for the Office of supervisor from
beat 4. MIR. Wolfe is native of the
adjoining county of Tallahatchie but
has been resident of this county for
six years during which time he has
made many friends. The Sentinel has
never heard anything but words of COM
mendation of him and it is reasonable
to assume that he has endeavored to
acquaint himself thoroly with the duties
of the office which he seeks and that he
thinks he could render public service,
otherwise he would not ask the honor.
The man who has led an upright, order
ly life can be expected to act similarly
as public officer, therefore it is fair
to assume that the people of beat will
commit their affairs to safe hands,
should he be elected supervisor.

standing army, and yet every man is
trained soldier and can at any time be
called upon to defend his country.
There has been no violation of Switzer-
lands neutrality, not only because her
topography is unfavorable for invasion,
but because neighboring nations have
a wholesome respect for the trained
valor and thorough equipment of her
citizen soldiery. Military training in
Switzerland begins at the age of 8
years. From the ages of II to 40 serv-
ice is compulsory at the call of the
state. All males not incapacitated
serve thirteen years in the aufzug,
twelve years in the landwehr and six
years in the landsturm. From years
to II the boys receive military instruc-
tion in the public schools, and when
they enter the aufzug they are prepar-
ed for actual training in arms. In the
first year of their service they spend
from s.xty-seyen to ninety-two days iii
camp or maneuvers, depending upon
whether they belong to cavalry, infan-
try, artillery or engineers. In each
subsequent year they serve thirteen
days. The total service for the thirteen
years is l41 days for infantry, LAG for
engineers, 100 for cavalry and 1863 for
artillery. This makes total of less
than six months for the thirteen years,
but the training is that of actual war
fare, and the product is trained and
seasoned soldiers.
This Swiss force can only be called
for defense against invasion. For an
offensive campaign new army must
be raised by volunteering.
Australia has similar system, sup
plemented with a small regular army
of ,354 men. Boys begin training al
l2 years. Junior cadets are from IA tc
| IS, and then comes the national guard
embracing all able-bodied men between
the ages of IS and 26 years. Senior
cadets get sixty-four hours training
each year, but do not go into camp
The national guard has sixteen days
training each year for six years. Thi
law was passed in 1911, and it is ex
pected that by 1919 there will be 100,
900 senior cadets and l2S, 600 militia il
training.
| There is not the same thorough
preparation and equipment in Austria
liza as in Switzerland. but in both tn
result is to have large body of traine
and disciplined soldiers, upon whom
the government may call at any time
instead of being compelled to rely upol

ment of military education. undrille'

his district, No. 3, to allow him to rep
resent them on the board of supervisors
of the county. Mr.. Roberts has serv-

of all the good men who have served

more faithful and useful member on the

He is good man, kind neighbor. a
useful member of the community and

his friends. If elected his constituency
may rest assured that their every in

POLITICAL GOSSIP
FROM WASHINGTON.
The "PrObdbleS" In the Race for
United States Senator.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 2S. -Politi-
cal pots in Mississippi start boiling long
before election time. There is evidence
in the national Capital that the Sena-
torial race, to be started in 1916, al
ready is exciting great interest from
the Tennessee border to the gulf coast.
Senator John Sharp Williams has not
announced formally that he is a candi.

announcement will be forthcoming in
due time.

months ago. The rumor has reached
Washington, however, that he has
about made up his mind that the game
is not worth the candle. In case he re-
tires his support will be turned to Thorn
as U. Sission of Winona, it is believ-
ed. Mr.. Sisson, now member of the
House of Representatives, has refused
to make any statement as to his inten.
tions, but there is reason to believe that
he will be candidate whether Mr..
Hebron runs or retires.
The fourth candidate probably will be
Samuel A. Witherspoon, of Meridian.
Mr.. Witherspoon has refused to com.
init himself in regard to the matter
but it is the general opinion here thai
he will enter the race.
Perhaps never before in the history
of politics in Mississippi have four sucl
widely known men been competitors fol
