OUR GREAT ARMY.

Lindley NJ. Garrison, secretary OF
| war. has made his special report on
national defense, and this is the plan
which will receive the general en-
dorsement of President Woodrow Will
son so far as the army is concerne1.
1t calls for a mobile army of 100000
fully or partially trained men for
Continental United States.
The regular army with the colors
constantly would consist of $4,000
troops of all services, and the reserves
at the end of eight years enlistment
would number $4,000, making grand
total of 100000 men.
In the continental army, under
training for three months year for
period of three years, there would
500 900 men. On furloughs subject t.
three months additional training be-
fore taking the field, there would be
these 100000 soldiers.
A significant and peculiar feature of
the recommendation of Secretary Gar
rison is the destruction of the Nationa
Guard establishment, which at pres
ent forms striking force in connec-
ton with the defense. His report calls
for no provision beyond the annual
appropriation of $7OOO,OO0 and the re-
peal of all acts requiring state sold
iers to be received into the United
States service in advance of any other
force in time Of war.
The summing up of his army re-
veals total of 100000 men for the
regular and continental armies.
The cost for the establishment of
this force for the first year is estimat
&c at Regular army, $25S, 100000:
Continentals, $S7,500,000; Militia, ST.
co., with total expenditure of $685.,
100000 for the whole establishment.
The report opens with considera
ton of the military problem confront
ing the United Safes from which it
reaches the conclusion that THE safe
guard of isolation no longer exists,
since "The ocean, once barriers, are
now easy avenues of approach by rea-
son of the number speed and carrying
capacity of ocean-going vessels" IT.
declares that the successful outcome
of the wars in which the country has
been engaged has given the public a
wrong impression, in as much as care
null study of these wars reveals 50
startling picture of faulty leadership,
needless waste of lives and property,
costly overhead charges augmented by
payment of bounties to keep up vo !
untary enlistments, undue prolonga-
ton of all these wars, and finally,
reckless expenditure of public funds
fol- continuing pensions"
But we have not learned our les
son." he report adds. 1T has never
known Jena or a Sedan.
The congress now in session will
be called upon to debate and consider
the recommendation which have been
outlined by the secretary of war.
1t is the first time in the history of
the nation where a government official
has outlined such an elaborate plan
for the United States army with the
slightest chance for favorable consid-

America is aroused over the ques-
tion of national defense, and rightly
so-the Hun may be at our gate.

IF KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys AMI
Neutralize Irritating Acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
inf1ame, causing burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer Isl
constant dread, the water passes some
times with a scalding sensation and is
very profuse; again there is difficulty
in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks ca,l
it, because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one OF the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
Of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take tablespoonful in glass of wa
ter before breakfast, continue this for
two or three days. This will neu-
tralize the acide in the urine so it no
longer is a source of irritation to tho
bladder and urinary organs, which
then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
ard lemon Juice combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caus-
ed by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Hcre you have a pleasant, efferves-
cent lithia-water drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble. Hooks Phar-
macy. advt

SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City. April 7.-Genuine
spring weather all through the states
is serving as a factor in the curtail-
ment of supplies of live stock at the
leading market centers. Farmers
are now able to get in the fields in
the immediate vicinity of Sioux City,
while in some parts of Nebraska and
Dakota the season is still a little
backward. Run of cattle this morn
ing was moderate, some Go cars or
1900 head, as against 2,123 a week
ago and 1879 the corresponding day
a year ago.
With a let up in receipts the mar
ket for fat cattle showed further i'm
provement and most sales today were
quoted strong or the advance for the
two days this week right at 10 a zoe
on both steers, cows and heifers and
bulls.
There was a lively call for any
thing desirable in the stocker and
feeder trade and not only was the
sharp advance, noted the opening
day, held, but there was evidence of
further outcropping of strength, to-
days market being quoted strong to
a dime higher.
Release for hogs was made a basis
of 5@10c lower than on yesterday.
Supply locally was moderate, but
news from outside centers indicated a
lower trend and this had a bearish
influence. Tons for the day were at
$50, while the bulk of sales ranged
from $6.55@6.6O
Market for ovine stock showed
strength. Run was light and the few
transactions were quoted as 10 @
higher.

of those who are willing to defend their
country, but of those who can de-
fend IL.
Those who are behind the ~organiza-
ton are not imbued with the spirit Of
militarism. They agree with those
who say that at a word from the pres
ident of the United States millions of
men would swarm to the colors and
that Ii is not necessary In time of
peace that this country maintain a
great standing army such as n as
sociates with the word nlilitarism. No
military training In time of peace is
involved, no increase in standing army,
navy or militia, but there is contem-
plated q taking stock of so
that In time of war the government
would be able to lay its hand immedi
ately upon those who would be best
qualified to cope with the emergency.
There will be two active branches of
the legion. The line of the legion viii
be composed exclusively of men who
have had army or navy service or who
can handle a high power rifle and are
seasoned in taking care of themselves
In the open.
1t is a fact not generally known per
haps that the United States army and
navy keep no account of the thousands
of men who are annually dropped from
the service. either by resignation or by
expiration of term Of enlistment. They
simply melt away into the great body
Of the population.
1t is Of course generally known that
In this country no data are kept of the
activities Of citizens that would enable
the government in time of war to pick
out at once the man OF body of men
especially adapted for a particular serv-
Ice. The selection Is made after the
man enlists and his professed quail
fications are discovered only by &C
tual trial of his abilities in the service
of his country.
The American legion proposes to do
beforehand just what the government
would have to do after it had enlisted
a great volunteer army and navy.
Men who have been trained az soldiers
or sailors will be classified In detailed
records as to physique, educa ton. char
acter Of training and length Of service.
Men of special training in other fields
will be classified in the same way and
every applicant for membership will
be carefully questioned and the nature
Of his qualifications thoroughly invesh-
gated.

PROTESTS AGAINST
BRITISH BLOCKADE

Washington. April THE United
States has finally made public its note
of protest to Great Britain's announce
ment of that nations reprisal move
ment against Germany and Austria
The note is the stiffest this country
has we issued.
At the same time the government
sent one to Germany demanding repa
ration for the sinking of the schooner
w. p. Frye by the Eitel Friedrich and
asking that indemnity of $2SS, 059.5
be paid the owners of the Frye.
In precise and measured terms the
note to Britain. signed by Secretary
Bryan, challenges the right of a bel
ligerent to extend the limits of a
Blockade to includ q neutral ports,
even though adjacent to a foe. Even
though a blockade exists and is fully
enforced the United States insists
that innocent shipments may be fully
transported to and from the United
States through neutral territory to
belligerent territory without being
subject to the penalties of c~ontraband
traffic or breach OF blockade, much
less to detention, requisition or con-
fiscation.
The United States bases its attitude
upon the 1856 declaration of Paris
that Tree ships make free goods.
