The NATION is SHOCKING
LY UNPREPARED.

1t Is apparent that we are
shockingly unprepared. There
Is no room for controversy on
this point since the object les
son on the Mexican border. All
our available regular troops
Qess. believe. than 100000 are
tnere or in Mexico, and as these
have been deemed insufficient
the entire National Guard has
been ordered out; that is. we
are summoning practically all
our movable military forces in
order to prevent bandit incur
sions. In view of the warnings
OF the past three years. 1t Is
1nexcusable that we should find
ourselves In this plight. For
our faithful guardsmen, who
with a fine patriotism responded
to this call and are bearing this
burden, | have rothing but
praise. But / think it little
short of absurd that we should
be compelled to call men from
their shops, their factories, their
Offices and their professions for
such a purpose. This, however.
Is not ALL The units of the Ma
tionL Guard were at peace
strength. which was only about
ons-haf the required strength.
It was necessary to bring in
recruits, for the most part raw
and unframed. Only a small
percentage OF the regiments re-
crutted up to war strength will
have had even a years training
In the National Guard, which at
the maximum means one hun
dred hours Of military drill, and.
on the average, means much
less. Men fresh from their
peaceful employments and ply
steaily unprepared have been
hurried to the border for actual
service. They were without
proper equipment; without
necessary supplies; suitable
conditions of transportation
were not provided. Men with
dependent families were sent:
and conditions which should |
have been well known were dis
covered after the event. And
yet the e1igency. comparatively
speaking. was not a very grave
one. 1t involved nothing that
could not readily have been fore
seen during the past three years
Of disturbance, and required
only q modest talent for organ
izat1on- That this Adminiztra-
ton while pursuing its course
In Mexico should have permitted
such conditions to exist Is al
most DISQUALIFICATION Mr..
Hughes speech OF acceptance.

Has Fine Bunch of whitefaces

T. c. Mcneil has just received two
fine young Hereford bulls, one q show
bull, good enough to appear in any
show ring. These thrifty youngsters
were raised by Frank Sheridan Of
Meek9r, Colorido, one of the foremost

tie in the west.
Last summer Mr.. Mcneil made .
contract with Cyrus Bailey Of Meek
er, Colorado, for q bunch of White-
face heifers, one hundred and thirty
five in all. Mr.. Bailey made the final
delivery this week. The entire num-
Der is composed of animals of about
the same size and age and about as
uniform as that many peas. They are
all in fine growing condition and give
promise of a large calf crop next sum

Prospectively the Henry w. Put
nam memorial hospital came into
existence on the afternoon of Octo-
ber 15, 1912, when the trustees OF the
village were requested to meet at the
Office of the Bennington Water com
pany and were there informed that Mr..
Putnam had decided to give the water
system to the community for the pur-
pose of founding and endowing men,
orial hospital. The conditions Of the
gift were that the then-eXisting water
rentals for household use should be
reduced one-half and that beginning
the following January the net income
from the system should semi-annuaily
be turned over to the treasurer Of the
Henry w. Putnam Memorial Hospital
association.
During the 1912 session of the leg
islature the hospital association was
incorporated and other necessary acts
to carry out the puropose of Mr.. Put
nam were enacted. Soon after the in
corporators OF the hospital association
had organized a building committee

WEATHER CONDITIONS IDEAL

Ideal weather conditions and the
general suspension of business in Ben
nington Wednesday combined to make
the 3Sth annual picnic of the Father
Mathew Temperance and Benevolent
society one Of the most successful i'll
the history of the organization.
Early in the afternoon it was evil
dent that the attendance was to be
larger than in some previous years
and toward evening all of thousand
people were gathered under the shade
of the naples in Hunts upper grove.
There was no athletic program this
year but its place was taken by an ex-
cellent vaudeville program provided
by five speciality teams. During the
entire afternoon there was an oppor-
tunity for dancing on the open air
platform, music being provided by
Hurley's orchestra.
Fireman Jim Flynn of Greenfield
and Young Josie of North Adams gave
an fast and interesting boxing exhibit
| tion. Flynn is the larger man with a
| longer reach but his smaller oppon-
ent proved a. willing performer in
spite OF the handicap
The success Of the picnic is of
course due to the energetic and untir-
ing work OF the committee, Chairman
