morning i.e started in early as usual,
and got as for as the long red clay
hill at Mr.. D. @. wilson's where, owing
to the rain the night before, the slip
perry condition of the hill caused his
machine to skid. AS the shower had
not reached his home, Mr. Sigh was
not expecting the hill to be in a slip
perry condition, hence was taken un-
awares. He was thrown off and had
his left leg badly bruised and severely
cut a deep, wide split about six or
eig.t inches long, from just above the
ankle, being made in the leg. The doc
tor had to take IA stitches, two in the
muscles, one stitch having to be cut
later to free the wound of CONCEALED

much suffering. The young man has
the sympathy of all in his affliction.

Upon !Mr. Swittenberg's return Fri

ans Of the G. a. r. insisted upon be
ing admitted to the Presidents re-
ception, 20 which only 1000 had been
invited. Joseph p. Tgmu'ty, secretary
TO the President, arrived on the scene,
however, just as an assault on the
gates seemed imminen. and put an end
to the disturbance by extending a
blanket invitation 10 All.
The intention was 20 receive only for

Of the 10000 who marched up Penn
sy.yania Avenue behind the drum corps
which pounded out the tunes of '65 had
on his coat lapel the little ribbon that
was TO open the White House doors.
When the six policemen saw this they
retired 10 report for orders. Telephone
inquiries at the headquarters Of the
Women's Committee revealed the fact
that too many badges had been pro-
vided, and that the excess had been
sold to the unlimited at % cents each

The flies shrieked and the drums
rolled as the six policemen were given
new orders 10 insist that every guest
establish his claim TO admission by
proving his membership in one Of three
organizations that had been invited TO
shake the Presidents hand.
Before this exhaustive examination
could be made, however, the protests
rose to n pitch that threatened. Cries
Of "S.yindle," were raised and Inside

Secretary Tumulty was in the west
wing Of the White House, far from the
scene. but not beyond the sound Of the
tumult He fastened 20 the balcony
overlooking the crowd. After a hasty
examination Of the facts he announced
that all we're invited, whether they had
badges or not, and gave orders to throw
wide the gates.
Among those admitted were many
women. wives and daughters Of the old
soldiers. and some Of them wore the

Washington, Sept. 30 Secretary Of
War Garrison has submitted his pre-
liminary report on national defence 70

day. and viii confer with the President
on The subject IN a few days The re-
port is the result Of three months

however, IL was learned that the plans
cali for a moderate increase in the
standing army and the creation Of "a
substantial reserve.
Tho Secretary's IDEAL is an army
which. though small, viii be capable Of
quick expansion in war. For this Dur-
pose il Is necessary TO provide r. re-
serve Of trained men who can be called

Il is not proposed 10 utilize the
militia for this purpose. The militia

trained TO the point Of immediate avail
ability, but would require several
months in camp. Its service, further
more, is entirely voluntary.
Army experts agree that the chief
difficulty confronting the department is
the shortage OF officers. At present
there are no more than enough officers
20 command the standing army, with
out allowing for casualties Officers
declare that provision must be made
for at least 900 additional officers a.
once and that eventually. If Secretary
Garrison's plan is carried out, there
should be an add Elton Of 5000 more.
II is understood that Secretary Gar
rison has recommended that the regu-
lar army be increased TO 10000 or
200. 900 men, and that a reserve he ere
ated which would permit the army to
be doubled Immediately AT the outbreak
of war. This would give a war strength
Of from 100000 20 100000 men. which
would be adequate, experts say as a
first line OF defence.
Part OF these men would be used 70
reinforce the present inadequate coast
defence regiments and the rest would
90 10 increase the mobile army, which
az present numbers only $4,000 men ln

The Secretary also recommends a re-
organization along the general lines of
European armies, co-ordinating the
various branches Of the service and
forming them into field armies or corps
capable of concerted action.
It is expected also that appropria-
tons will be asked for heavy field and
siege artillery, as the army has nC
portable pieces of q calibre greater
than A. inches. The ordnance experts
are greatly interested in a type of gun
