j. 5. ARMY 1OM REORfANEED
BYCONGREss, SAYS CHAMBERLAIN

Senator Weeks OF Massachusetts,
who has been mentioned as probable
candidate for the Republican nomin-
alton for the presidency, is strongly
in favor OF the adoption OF a system
which would bring about a trained re-
serve for the army, with which the
War Department could keep constant
1y in touch He has advocated such a
plan in the Senate, and favors cutting
the term of enlistment TO one year
In that time, he maintains, a young
man can be thoroughly trained in his
duties as soldier, and If called upon
in the future for military service
would be a valuable asset
Senator Chamberlain. feeling the in
creased interest in America in the
subject OF national defense. had print
ed as a public document a discussion
of the military systems Of Australia
and Switzerland, and the system of
training officers in Great Britain. 1t
shows that Switzerland, with a popu-
lation of 3,315,443, smaller than that
of Massachusetts and with an area
less than twice that of the same state,
can mobilize $4,000 trained and prop
erly equipped soldiers within "a hours.
Behind this is reserve of about the
same size, part of whom are armed
and have received training. and may
be used to fill casualties, for the de-
tense of positions and for special du-
ties of various kinds.
Every Swiss citizen owes military
service from the commencement Of
the year in which he attains the age
Of 20 to the end of that in which he
reaches 4S. He must present himself
during his Goth year at q designated
place in his location for physical and
mental examination The examina'
lions are thorough, and only about so
per cent of the men who present
considered a misfortune not to be &C
cepted.
Ali men accepted are insured by the
government against sickness or acci-I
dent contracted while in the service.
and men who are not accepted are i
taxed, because of their exemption,
until they have reached the age of 40.
The active army is composed of all
men between 20 and 80 Except in the
cavalry, where it is 30) who have been
lble to pass the examinations. After
q the soldier passes to the landwehr,
md after 40, until he is 4S, he is a.
of the landsturm. Il
The system is not a burden upon
he citizens of Switzerland Thej
raining of the recruits is thorough,
,ut comparatively brief Then They'll
ire allowed to return to their homes,
md become regular members of thei
military organizations. Repetition
curses are held every year for brief
periods for the soldiers.
1t has been demonstrated again and
gain that It costs the United States
ar more to maintain it's army, taking

ORIENTALS MAKE
APPLICAIIONFOR
NATURALIZATION
Hindu Refused, Japanese Case
Still Pending, Now First kor-
can Files Declaration

Although the matter is OF import
ance and interest as it is the first OF
its kin dto come before the local fed.
eral court. the declaration OF Joseph
XII Suk Lee a Korean, of intention to
become an American citizen, made in
Clerk A. f. Murphy'S office Thursday,
may never again be brought to the
attention of the federal authorities,
an diff II is, two years will have
elapsed from the time il was entered.
TIE unusually heavy run OF declara-
tons and petitions for naturalization
in the federal court during the past
several months has included not only
white persons Of various nationalities,
but Hindu, a Japanese and now a
Korean. The Hindu was refused ad-
mission. The case of the Japanese
is still pending.
The law regarding the admission
to citizenship of alien says free white
persons and persons of African des-
cent or nativity" explains Clerk Muir
ply. THAT clause Of the law, how
ever, covers only petitions for natu-
ralization. 1t does not cover declara
tions. A declaration is merely when
q person declares his intention of be-
coming a citizen. Two years after the
date OF filing they may make their
application for citizenship.
The matter Of the admission of
person to citizenship lies entirely with
the court. An alien of any nationality
may make an application for declara-
ton of intention. This may either be
accepted or refused by the clerk as he
sees fit"
Mr.. Murphy says that the Japanese
for whom he has made applications
In the local court all have had their
declaration papers. Under recent
ruling Of the department, he is per-
initted to use his own discretion in
accepting an application for citizen
ship.
Two years from now, when the Ko-
fean's application is due to come up,
Mr.. Murphy will have some definite
knowledge as to his eligibility for citi-
zenship. The Korean, however, may
never appear in this court again. AS
far as Mr.. Murphy knows, he is the
first Korean to take out first papers
in this court. lsta ~ n
In two instances Mr.. Murphy has
refuse dto accept the petitions Of
Japanese for citizenship, in spite of
the fact that they had their first pa
pers. His action was upheld by. the
department in each case. The Hindu
was refused admission on the ground
that he was not a white person or a
person of African descent or nativity.
The case Of Tokawa Ozawa viii come
up q weey fro mtomorrow fer further
hearing. A decision from Judge Dole
in the matter is expected at that
time.

BOGGS TRIAL IS
MFOR MONDAY

BY mutual agreement of counsel the
trial of Paul H. Boggs, indicted with
J. T. Scully, John T. McGrath and
George A. Bower for first-degree rob-
berry, has been set for Monday, April
26, in Circuit Judge Ashford's court.
When the case was called this morn
ing Boggs was present, apparently
none the worse after his recent severe
attack of sciatic rheumatism, which
prevented his appearance a few days
ago.
The case of -Scully and Henry T.
Lewis, who were convicted by a jury
recently, the jury returning a verdict
of second-degree robbery. was called

it man for man, than it does the ma
tons Of Europe. In Switzerland the
cost of the army is ridiculously small
compared to the cost of the army in
the United States. In Switzerland it
is estimated that the annual cost is
about 100000. The cost of each SOL
der in the first line, which can be
instantly modified, amounts to $35 a
year The second line costs nothing.
The annual appropriations for the
American army show that each regu-
lar American soldier costs. % times
as much as does the Swiss 49,.
The men who are studying the prob
lem of national defense in the United
States feel that some steps must be
taken to reduce the cost per capita OF
the United States army, while at the
same time increasing the number Of
trained men available for military
service.

IF we were satisfied merely with re-

Herr Delbrueck spoke after the upper

a firm determination to win the war
which has been forced upon us.

which he emphasized the fact that the
paper money Of other countries is so
poorly executed that counterfeiters
reap a harvest. The paper money of
the United States, he said, circulates
through the channels of trade with no
other evidence of genuineness than
that furnished by its physical charac-
teristics, and the engraving and print
ing thereon should, therefore, be placed
beyond the possibility of successful
| imitation, he said.
