Further Efficiency Not Needed.

Miss Blanche MUMMY. who went to
Denver short time ago to enter
Barnes Business College for special
work. returned to her home In this
city last Friday night. Miss MUMMY
graduated with the class Of 1916,
Commercial department, and won
honors in shorthand, typewriting and
penmanship. The faculty OF Barnes
Business College found her so prof.
cient in her work that they deemed
1t unnecessary for her to take a
course in their school, as she is al
ready well qualified for a position.
This not only speaks we'll for Miss
MUMMY, but also for the Commercial
department OF the local school.

Garden Looking Fine.

The experimental garden OF the
otero Agricultural club is looking
fine In spite OF the. fact that the
crop was planted later than usual
Since w. W. Kerney moved to Ar
kansas the garden has been under
the charge OF w. F. Stark and he is
proving competent man for the
Job. More than zoo varieties OF
grain and vegetables are grown and
from present indications most of the
varieties will make a fine showing.
The experimental garden is one Of
the interesting features of the clubs

Mexican Cussedness.


When Diaz became president OF
Mexico, the country was bankrupt
and owed so much money in Great
Britain and on the continent that
there was imminent danger OF a fore
closure OF the debt by those powers
combining and seizing the country.
We believe that the only railroad In
the country was the little one run
ming from Vera Cruz TO the City OF
Mexico, and that was owned by Eng
lishmen.
In few years under the order that
Diaz established and enforced the
foreign debt was all paid. the coun-
try was ramified by railroads and In
many states there such prosperity as
had never been known before.
The way that was first inaugural

out by Diaz for the people Of outside
countries 20 come there and help re

lection to all who might come. pro

cruit depots for the regular army, bring
ing the volunteers In small tactical units
as such units are recruited to a certain
minimum strength. This virtually applies
the contineptal army idea to the volun-
teer bill, as the President thereby is au-
thOrized to draft such volunteers into
the army in such numbers and for such
periods as he sees fit and at the same
time remuneration and allowances as OBJ
tain for the regular army. This throws
the yoke OF the National Guard from the
neck OF the President and gives him the
privilege OF training as many volunteers
as he sees fit without waiting for the
commencement of hostilities. Trainers of
the bill consider this its most important
provision.

BILL PROVIDES
FOR Big ARMY
Chamberlain Measure, Just
Made Public, Most Com
prehensive Yet Offered.
FAVORABLE REPORT SURE
Organization of Every Military
Force in Country Contemplated
in Proposed Policy.
By JOSEPH p. ANNN.

The most comprehensive military policy
ever offered the country in piece Of
legislation Is proposed in the Chamber
lain military BILL made public yesterday.
The measure is the work Of the entire
Military Affairs Com mittee OF the SEN
ate and IL assured OF a favorable report
10 It's present form.
Provision Is made in the Chamberlain
bill for the organization IN time of peace
and without additional legislation Of
every military force IN the country and
a large part OF the Industrial personnel
available for military work. The military
forces are divided and organized as fol-
lows:
L The regular army.
2 The volunteer army.
= The officers reserve corps.
L The reserve officers training corps.
5. ms National Guard
The regular army, under the reorgan-
iZation, will be increased to peace
strength Of about $4,000 men and a war
strength OF about $4,000 men. The active
organizations comprise:
stxty-four regiments OF infantry. Or
ganlzed into seven divisions.
Twenty-Five regiments Of cavalry, or
Eanized into two divisions, with the re-
naming regiments attached to infantry
divisions.
Tventy-one regiments Of field artillery.
The Coast Artillery Corps.
Seven regiments Of engineers.
The increases involved are to be made
h five annual increments unless an
emergency intervenes, when the Presi-
dstn Is authorized immediately to organ
izs the entire increase.
Senator Chamberlain Immediately after
it's reference to his committee sent the
buI to the War Department with a re-
quest that an estimate be compiled of the
probable cost per year Of the program
outlined in the measure.
For the first time piece of military
legislation has been offered the country
which takes cogniZance OF the two all
important facts in connection with pre-
paredness. VIZ, that trained and organ
lied military forces are necessary to op-
pose invading armies, and, second, that
such trained and organized forces cannot
be acquired IN a few minutes or as the
result OF elsventh-hour legislation. nor
without Offering inducem ents to the men
who must submit themselves for training
IN time Of peace.
Here are the fundamental virtues in the
Chamberlain bill:
i. Provides a necessary increase in the
professional army OF from 5000 to lis 900
peace strength and 10000 (War
strength.
> Makes provision for the necessary
stimulation Of recruiting to make such a
force available by % increasing the base
pay for enlisted personnel from IS to

Training Corps may be appointed tenn
porary second iieutenants in the regular
army for period not TO exceed six
months for purposes Of training with a
salary of 500 per month.
Militia Pay BiII.
s. The liberalization of the National
Guard, insofar as this is possible without
constitutional amendment is accom-
plished without stultifying the govern
ment in providing for trained reserves
In other directions. The militia pay bill
is Incorporated as in most national guar'i
bills, the requirement of an oath 10 obey
orders of the President in time of war,
TO go beyond the continental limits when
authorized by Congress, to serve not less
than three years, and other "federaliza-
ton features are Incorporated. An i'm
provement over other "federaliza ton
features Ia seen in the requirements that
all organizations and individuals taking
advantage Of the federal aid offered
must have not less than twenty-four
days OF field training each year. A maxi
mum requirement for winter work of
forty-eight drills, a minimum require
ment of twenty-four. and a minimum Of
one and one-half hours for each drill
are provided.

S1s a month, CD making it easy for men
who enlist in the army under a four TO
seven year service, active and reserve
respectively, to pass from the active to
the reserve list after one year of service
on a certificate of proficiency from the
troop or company. % provides for the
certification into the civil service of the
United States, upon examination by their
officers, of men who serve six years with
the colors instead of passing into the
reserve at the end OF one, two, or four
years, % providing for the appointment
to West Point from the ranks of enlisted
men between the ages of Is and 2 years
Of one man from every regiment or
similar organization in the service, and
the maintenance of increased facilities
at the military academy for a continue
ton Of such appointments.
Provisional Commissions.
g. All commissions to the grade OF
second lieutenant in the regular army
except for graduates Of West Point are
provisional and, after two years service
subject to denomination to determine
the fitness Of the holder to continue In
the regular army.
T. Provides for an actual reserve which
will be available in time Of need by
authorizing the payment of $2i a year
to enlisted men furlOughed from the
Colors during their time on furlough
and authorizing the President to or.
ganize such reserve into tactical units
in time of peace and to provide for mob
ilization of such reserves in tactical units
in time of peace.
5. Makes applicable to time Of peace
and without legislation or action by Con
gress all provisions of the volunteer act
Of 1914 authorizing the President to cal
for Federal volunteers and establish re,

good provision in this connection, how
ever, exempts the President from the
necessity of giving these officers prece-
dence over officers of the regular army
in appointing officers for volunteer or

may be appointed to the Reserve Officers'
