UNlVERaAI. MILITARY SERVICE
 IN THE UNITED STATES
Proposed as a Substitute for the Vol.
 unteer System.

Washington. Jan. 10. = Universal military service in some form in the United States. possibly the require- ment that all men between the ages of 1s and q be given at least six months training. as a substitute for the volun- teer system, was discussed today be- fore the house military committee by Major General Scott. chief of staff of the army.
 General Scott told the committee that the United States would need an army of nearly 100000 men in the event of war. It developed during the hearing that there are more than 4,000 ,000 men in the country between the ages of Is and 21. and that 100000 more reach the age of Is annually.
 Short of a universal military re- quirement, General Scott thought the administrations continental army plan offered the most workable solution of the nations military problems. If the plan failed. he said, there was no es- cape from compulsory service. Every country in Europe, he added, realized the truth Of this, and England might better have realized it sooner. With military service imposed on men be- tween IS and 21. as a patriotic duty, with nominal pay, he thought 1t would cost the nation no more for an ade- quate force than to maintain its pres- ent establishment.

Ohio, Jan. 1o.-Tha opening of the grand jury investiga- tion of the strike and riot in East Youngstown, the resumption of work and Tube company and the ordering home of the Fourth Regiment of the Ohio National guard, called here on strike duty, were the developments in the situation today.
 Quiet prevailed in the vicinity of

 ported for duty today were not mo- tested either when entering or leav- ing tho Piant. Prosecuting Attorney

 bor who returned here from Pitts burgh today. issued statement to- night in which he charged that the
 rioting here last week was a financial
 scheme to depress the value of stock of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube
 company, so that a merger of inde- pendent steel interests can be affect ed.
 we have evidence that we regard as conclusive that this entire trouble
 was caused by paid sluggers, brought town Sheet and Tube company" MT
 Flynn charged in the statement. '-The gunmen who did the shooting were
 residents of Pittsburgh. We under stand that these gunmen, 25 in num- Der, were sdeputized by Sheriff Um-

DADDY'S EVENING
TALE s.
LIFE IN THE FIREPLACE.
By MARY GRAHAM BONNER

"Ha, ma laughed the Fire Sparks
the other evening when it was cool
and everyone wanted a fire in the
fireplaces
If that isn't good joke on them
ALL the Fire Sparks went on sput-
tering and cracking. Now let's give
them a fine time. We've heard so
many of those fussy old Grown-Ups
saying how nice it would be not to
have to lay the fire." and a great
many others said that everything
would keep so much cleaner without
US
And the Sparks few out on the
floor and the People jumped up from
their chairs to step on them. The
Fire Sparks didn't mind in the slight
est degree. They only jumped out on
the rugs to cause the Grown-Ups trou-
BILE. Oh. they were feeling very
naughty.
They also all agreed that they
would make all the ashes they could
but they would burn so brightly and
look so coy and warm and comfort
able that the Grownups would be
sorry they had said so many harsh
things about them-and would be
willing in the future to brush up the
hearths and put fresh sticks on the
Fire-and. good crisp paper.
In one home and in front Of one
hearth on this cool evening sat two
small Boys, Jamie and Jackie They
were on a big soft fur rug and they
were there to see that the rug did not
| catch afre. They loved jumping UP
and stepping on the Sparks and didn't
think it any trouble at all.
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1916-06-20

First of all, jamie put his head
down on the rug. and then Jackie put
his head down, too. They were just
wide awake enough to remember they
must lie so the Sparks couldn't fly
over on them-for the little Sparks
wouldn't know enough to stop their
game.
But through the fender-which
Jamie had remembered to put i'll
front of the fire as he began to feel
so very strangely sleepy-these two
veIous things.
For instead Of the fire they saw
huge castles and towers and turrets
and bridges and royal People. Far
over IL a corner, too, they saw dark
gray stone cave in which was sitting
an old, old Witch dressed in a scarlet
robe, with a tall black hat on her
head.
Soon they heard the Kings and
Queens and the Princes and Primo
esses talking. They had low voices,
but ever little while a sudden gun
would go off and for a moment they
would all keep very quiet.
What do those guns mean? asked
Jackie cad Jamie together.
Its the Fireplace clock the
Sparks answered.
But it doesn't seem to keep very
good time-I heard the gun go off
three times in a hurry and then not
for ages said Jamie.
It keeps as good time as we care
about said the Sparks. We're not
so awfully particular. Anyway, our
bright colors and our gorgeous castles
should be fine enough without hear
ing from you that our clock doesn't
keep good time.
Indeed, we do think you're all
beautiful. and we love cool evening
when we can have a fire. We don't
mind If your clock doesn't keep good
time said Jamie.
What are you saying about the
timer said the Mother of Jackie and
Jamie. Bedtime, eh?' for both Jamie
and Jackie were Just being shaken
gently and told to trot off to their real
bed. But as they both crawled into
their nice soft sheets. they found that
they'd each had the very same dream
and both had seen the Fireplace
castles and heard the Fireplace clock
which kept such bad time!"

THRONG OF BUYERS CONTINUE.
/ Special Half Price Brings Many Pa
irons to Wilfred F. Roots.

The people of Brattleboro and vicin-
ity appreciate the great advantage
Wilfred F. Root obtained for them, in
getting the DR.. Howard Co. to allow
the regular 80 cent size of DR.. How
ard 5 specific for the cure of constipa-
ton and dyspepsia, to be sold at half
price, % cents, and have bought hun
dreds of bottles.
Every bottle of the specific sold by
Mr.. Root has had his personal guaran
tee to refund the money if it was
not satisfactory, but none has come
back, showing the wonderful curative
power of this remedy.
IF yon have not already taken al
vantage of this chance TO set .

cents, be sure to call at Mr.. Root 1
today, for he has only small amount
of the specific on hand.

Here is a case where newspapers do
an unconscious injustice to men. 1t is
impossible for anyone to point to an
announcement of his candidacy for
the speakership either on the part of
Mr.. Lord or Mr.. Wilson. Yet some of
the papers act as if such announce
nent had been made. Neither Mr..
Lord nor Mr.. Wilson is so lacking in
common sense as to become a candi-
date for the speakership before he
had been elected to the house. Those
who know these men realize that they
would leave such childish display to
be made By others less experienced in
political matters. 1t is tribute to
these men that they have been men
toned as speakership possibilities, and
it is wrong to poke fun at them for
doing something they haven't done.

hands of Providence and the country
central committee.
\ postotlice election is always ac-
companied by acrimonious charges and
counter charges, and by the time the
polls have closed every candidate
stands before the community in his
true light, ready to be indicted b.
the grand jury for nameless crimes
which he thought had been forgotten
when he joined the church. Many a
man with fine family connections and
a spotless name has emerged from a
postoffice election with a criminal
record longer than missionary ser
mon, and has been obliged TO resign
from the board of deacons on account
of iii health. Ever candidate who is
defeated lies low until the fall cleo
tious, when he loads up a seven
passenger touring car with aggrieved
relatives and posts them at the polls
with split ballots and a vindictive
spirit. As a result. the congressman
with high ideals of the public service
who calls several postotficc elections
/ in rapid succession, stands about as
much show as a Percheron draft
/ horse with the string halt in hurdI,
race.
The postolicc election is gooJ
thing when it happens in some othe
